Suresmile patient - debanded this morning
Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2008 10:56 am
I don't have pictures yet, but I was debanded this morning. Everything went better than I thought. There was almost no pain, just horrible noise from the glue being scraped off my teeth. I wasn't 100% happy due to some flaring of my top front teeth, but I was told that this was the best we could do because of the thickness of my teeth and my jaw position. I was actually happier than I thought I would be with the result. It is hard to tell exactly what it will look like when the braces are still on.
I did Suresmile, was told 12-14 months, a couple of snags along the way, so total time ended up at 17.5 months. Without Suresmile I was told 24-30 months. I will of course never know how much time it actually shaved off.
I have Essix top and bottom. Permanent bottom retainer will go on in 4 weeks. I am supposed to get a cleaning before that is done.
I can't believe that they are off
! Time really did fly. The only thing I would have done differently is to go full metal. I had clear on top and metal on bottom. The clear brackets were very bulky to me and looked worse to me than my friends that have metal.
