Nothing is more frustrating than this

If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

Nothing is more frustrating than this

They cancelled my debanding appointment! :(

Well, I actually triggered this... One week before it, I found one of my front teeth is kind of sticking out so I went in to have my ortho take a look. I was hoping she could fix it with the hawley retainer. But she put me on a supoer strong steel wire instead and cancelled my debanding appointment. :( Now I need to go back to have it checked in three weeks and don't know when I can really have these things off. :(

Adding to my grief, my ortho said (kinid of in a criticizing way): when the teeth are 90% aligned, you should take the braces off. Otherwise, things would just go downhill. Is it really?! If so, how come I see so many perfect smile here. :(
