I got Debraced today! I'm so happy with the results. The process was much easier and less painful then I expected. I'll post some pictures below!

Before

Now

My Retainers

I bought some Crest White Strips today as well so I can whiten up my new smile.

Thanks Everyone! I appreciate your encouragements!

I also was surprised that my teeth were fairly white still! I thought that they'd look alot worse when the braces came off. That being said, I'd still like to brighten them up a bit. I tried my first Crest White strip last night. OUCH after 15 minutes. I don't think that my teeth are ready yet! Ha ha ha. Today my teeth are sensitive at the tips. I'll just be patient. Anyone else have this problem and your teeth became less sensitive after time?

AWESOME!!!! They look great. If I'm not mistaken you chose the clear upper and the bonded lower, right?

I got my son to take a few pictures of me with my new smile. They're not the greatest, but you'll get the idea.

I'm just so loving not having braces on anymore. I'm actually wearing my retainer in these pictures. They're hard to spot!

My new smile.

Me being silly and showing off my new chompers.

They look fantastic- I'm so envious!!! I was just wondering, were your canines sanded down by an ortho/dentist or was that from natural wear? It suits you anyway. Enjoy being naked!

Thanks so much everyone! So it's been just over a week and I still can't believe how amazing it is to eat without braces. I'm still not used to it. My husband bought some strawberry's today and my first thought was, "Do I want to eat those and get them all stuck in my braces?" Then I remembered, NO BRACES, chomp and chew and grind away at those strawberrys! Ha ha ha ha, fun fun fun. I do love to eat! ha ha ha

Dagwoman, no the ortho didn't grind my canines, natural wear I guess, so thanks.... I really do like pointy canines though.

Wow Your smile looks amazing, Congratulations!!

Your teeth seem pretty white already so cant wait to see wha they will be like once you have used the white strips. I was suposed to be getting my teeth laser whitened today but the dentist wouldnt let me as he said my gums are still to sensetive. I may try using some white strips, let me know how they go!
