So my deband date is tomorrow morning. I had a dream the other night that my wire was out for whatever reason when it should not have been, and all my teeth were wonky and loose. One of them was even shrunken and flopped over like a wilted flower! I freaked out and found my wire and stuck it back in, trying not to yank any teeth out in the process.
You would think that after 43 months, I'd be ecstatic to be rid of braces. Maybe the dream was because my teeth have been "squeaky" lately when I push against them w/ my tongue.
I get my braces off February 22nd, and when I push my tongue against my teeth, they often feel like they are squeaking as well. I believe it's normal. Your teeth HAVE to be somewhat loose in order for the braces to straighten the teeth.
