Got a Debanding Date!

#1 Post by chicago29 »

I had an ortho appointment today, and I thought I might be getting a debanding date. There was talk that it would be right before Christmas, but alas...that didn't quite happen.

My ortho is doing some fine tweaking and has me in a funky triangle configuration for rubber bands. He said he wants to see how these go for 4 to 8 weeks. BUT, we did set a debanding date of February 8. I simply cannot believe that this journey is coming to an end!! I'm going to get upper/lower permanent retainers, and then probably the "invisilign" type retainers (whatever they are called).

I'll be patiently counting down the days to February 8 :D :D

Thanks everyone!

My first surgery (which was upper and lower expansion) was 2/4/09. My bi-max (upper and lower surgery) was 9/15/10. I was braced on 5/4/09. So, close to 2 years in braces and two trips to the bone saw!!
