Anxious and Nervous, Braces Off Tomorrow!

I am *hopefully* getting my braces off tomorrow. My appointment was supposed to be for 10:40 but when they called me today to remind me, they said to come in at 10:00 so I'm guessing that's to give them extra time to take them off! I am excited but nervous. I remember what it was like having them off the first time and I'm not looking foward to the pain. But in a few minutes I will floss my braces for the last time! I can't wait to see my results tomorrow!

AND THEY"RE OFF!!!!! No pain , barely any discomfort and only very minimal gum swelling around just a couple teeth! Yay! That was 100x better than the last time I had braces. That dental hygenist was amazing! I'm sending her flowers. She rocks!

Good to hear there was less pain than last time! Are you pleased with your results?

Congratulations! Can't wait to see some before and after pics...?

P.S. None of my patients have ever sent me flowers....

I am very happy. I will post pics as soon as I can get batteries for my camera. The only issue I have is that when I wear my tooth positioner, I have a couple teeth that bleed. I floss and use salt water rinses like I'm supposed to so I'm hoping that it's just a little irritation from the removal process and that it will stop soon.
