I finally have a date too, also my first post!

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.

#1 Post by JMarq »

So after finally finding this website about a week ago it really grabbed my interest! So in two weeks i finally get my braces off and im so excited i cant even put in to words! I had braces put on in March of 07 and get them off August 19th 2008. After reading around on this site i know what to expect now.

I literally cried when he had me brush my teeth after he plucked them off...it felt sooo weird and it felt nice to be able so feel my gums again....good luck!
your gums might bleed and feel sore and brushing is going to hurt but it goes away after a few days

Oooookkkkkk now --- where are your pics?!!? I can't wait to see a personal success story from my ortho too :)

Who all did you end up flashing yesterday after you "got naked"??? Huh?!!? LOL!

Congrats on your debanding and can't wait to see how you are doing now. Is your retainer feeling less tight? How does your retainer fit over the bonded on top? Have you started the whitening treatments yet?
