I've got a date!!! (Change in Plans)

#1 Post by MsTiaLia »

Happy Thursday everybody! I just wanted to share my great news! I'm nearing the end! I went to the ortho today. They made molds of my teeth to make my retainers (glow-in-the-dark pink with yellow polka dots :lol: ) and was given a debanding date of Feb. 13th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited, I don't know what to do with myself! :lol: They will come off two days before I'm scheduled to be the maid of honor in my friend's wedding, so the perfect timing doesn't hurt either!

Two months ago, I was obsessing about how long it would be before I could have my teeth whitened and now I'm just SOOOOO elated to have them naked! This is, by far, the most exciting thing that has happened this year!!!!

Unfortunate Update...

#8 Post by MsTiaLia »

Well, I went in to have my braces removed this morning and, instead, received a disproving groan from my ortho when he looked in my mouth!!! He said that I had, undoubtedly, worn my rubberbands EXACTLY as he had instructed, but my teeth had OVERCORRECTED!!! Instead of my top arch overlapping the bottom just a little, they are sitting right on top of each other! So...I'm still braced :-(( I have to go back in two weeks for him to make sure I'm on the right track, then I have another appointment on March 6th. So, we'll see how it goes :(

Oh no! How dissappointed you must be. I can only imagine. Scares me a little since I'm due to get my braces off in 6 days and I'd be crushed if I couldn't get them off now!

Oh NO!!! I know that happens frequently--tweaking needs to happen--but what a bummer! :-(*
But in 6 months you won't give these last couple of weeks a second thought!
