Debanding bottom teeth Wednesday

#1 Post by Chocoholic »

:lol: Yay! Went for an appointment today and my ortho says the time has come to get my lower braces off - I was hoping he'd do the uppers first, but no such luck.

So he took and impression after covering the brackets with wax, so now he'll make my permanent retainer wire.

I can't wait, I'm so looking forward to getting these things off, just hope the uppers won't be too far behind.

Not too long only about 10 months as my problem was overcrowding.

I don't know how people have them for years, it's driven me crazy, but the teeth look good now.
