Firstly id like to thank everyone in this forum who supported me through my op nightmare

My braces came off this morning (apoligises to anyone whose already read my post in the retainers forum.)

And my teeth are looking great. They are better than i could have ever imagined.

So heres a photo, sorry for the quality, ive got to go back for my retainer fitting later so havent too much time right now....

Congrtatulations - You have been through a lot to get here, but I'm sure it is fast becoming a distant memory with gorgeous gnashers like that!

Good Luck with the retainers

Thanks everyone, i have my retainers now and they are abit uncomfy but im sure ill get used to them.

I did have a hard time getting too this stage, but for anyone having problems at the moment, it really is worth it in the long run, when you see you straight teeth for the 1st time.

Happysmiler - your right all the surgery stuff is fading away as a distant memory now (and i never thought id say that!)
