I was so nervous and excited this morning for my ortho appt! I kept hoping he would just say the magical words and he did! He told the assistant get her ready for debanding today!
Clipping off the braces was like 10 seconds. Removing the molar bands did NOT, Not hurt at all! He just clipped them off in like 1-2 seconds. The WORST part was sanding off the glue

The pain was pretty bad just because the cold is EXTREME and I felt it in my roots! lol my daughter went with me and was squeezing my hand....well I squeezed her hand until it was purple. I got the mold done,that was pretty simple. I go back at 4 pm today to pick up my Essix retainers.Here are my after photos! I was thrilled! I am still licking my teeth since this morning lol.
My bottom midline is only noticable when I open my mouth top and bottom for these pics but overall I am thrilled with the results.

Today! 10-06-08

My hubby has no idea they are off so he will be surprised when he gets home today! He asked me how my appt went and I told him I have to wait 2 weeks for retainers so I get debanded in 2 weeks! lol

Counting down till hubby gets here! lol Less than 1 hour to go

He will be shocked and thrilled at the same time!

I just came back from picking up my retainer and they had a gift for me. I got a Free photo session at Abbey of London photo studio and a big mug with coffee/hot cocoa and brushes and stuff .I was more excited tosee the free photo session because I was planning on doing this for myself as treat anyway and now it's free! Well I will have to come up with something else to celebrate!
