Congratulations Lucy! I got my 'toof improvers' off last April so I know your joy. Many, many years of lovely smiles await you. Don't forget to wear your retainers after a few months and the novelty has worn off, mine have shifted just a tiny bit due to the occasional overnight lapse - it's that easy! :shock: But hey - this is a celebration and justly deserved! You go girl! :D
