I was debanded today. And it was every bit the great experience I thought it would be
I am sooooo happy with the results. The two and half years in wires (+ the 4 extractions) all seem totally worthwhile. My profile is a lot flatter which you can see from the pics.
Here are before pics:
And here are the after:
Thanks for all your support in this journey.

Thanks guys! It was definitely worth all that time and frustration.
It is great being brace free. I am even enjoying my essix experience believe it or not!!!!
I don't know how my teeth stayed so white....I was planning on using Crest-strips but I am happy with the shade that they are.
