How to prepare for debanding?

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.

Thanks everyone! I am really happy. :)

Kirst, it's just the wire over the front of my teeth - there is no additional plastic. And you will be pleased to hear that my speech is pretty much back to normal while wearing them - I'm happily attending meetings, answering the phone etc at work with no trouble.

That's great news. Speech always seems to be a main concern of retainer wearers. I can tell my speech is different, but when I ask people they say I sound normal... so it must just be a slight difference.
Glad to hear all is going well though - keep enjoying ur new smile :lol:
