Debanding bottom teeth Wednesday

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.

Any debanding is better than no debanding! Lucky you! I'm envious.
