YAY Evelyn!!! I got mine off yesterday...got bumped up thanks to some brackets popping off! :D

You will absolutely LOVE having your teeth back!!! I can't stop staring at mine. They look so much larger and whiter!

4 years is a long time. Bet you're thrilled!

It sounds like we'll be getting our braces off around the same time. My final adjustment is on June 1st and then the ortho said it should only be a few weeks after that until I have my braces removed. I'm almost tempted to purposely break a bracket off before my June 1st appointment just so he can do my adjustment sooner :twisted: .

To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.

Great news, congrats! :mrgreen:

Mine have been on my two front teeth (only) for over a year now just to keep them from spreading apart. I get them off soon but have to wear another metal device to keep my space from returning. Then in a few years I'm getting dental implants to replace my (genetically) missing teeth. I can't get them 'til I'm done growing. :cry:

I'm sorry for your using your thread to rant. :oops:

Once again, congrats to you! :wink:
