Debanding day for SnowSara :D

#1 Post by SnowSara »

Hi everyone!

12 months, 1 week later, I am once again brace freeeeee!!!

Image

Man, did the year fly by! Everyone on this message board made the wait so much easier, I've recommended this place to my few friends with braces. It was so nice to have such positive support and a place to vent to understanding ears, haha.

I pick up my essix retainer tomorrow afternoon and begin that journey. I will wear it 24/7 for 6 mo, then nightly after that. I will miss seeing my ortho & his assistants, so am glad for some retainer checks in the future. They are awesome! My assistant today did such a great job polishing my teeth, not just to get the glue off but another burr to get some coffee stains as well, hooray!
I can't stop smiling or sneaking a glance at a mirror. I don't think they look big, just better! And it feels good to talk, I've been jabbering away all day and just can't get over the fact of how much easier it is.

THANKS EVERYONE YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!

-Sara
