I'm naked!!!!

#1 Post by sunflr77 »

My braces came off yesterday and I couldn't be happier. I'm going to update my story in the Our Braces Story section.

See my final results below:

P.S. My teeth really aren't as white as they appear in the photographs, I swear my flash does something weird to make them look so white.

CONGRATULATIONS sunflr77!! Your teeth look AMAZING! :BigGrin:

If mine turn out even half as good as yours, I'll be really pleased!!

Well done for reaching the end! I bet you're so happy with the results.

Take care.

Thank you all for the kind words. I am truly thrilled with my results I wouldn't change a thing.

I wonder how long it will take me to get used to the look of my new teeth, I'm still shocked each time I look in the mirror.

Thanks all for the kind words.

I'm still not used to them, at night after I brush my teeth and get ready for bed I think to myself "omg I forgot to put my rubberbands in" and then a few seconds later I realize that I'm no longer in braces. I was in rubberbands for about 9 months or so, so I guess it will take some time to get used to.

The bonded retainers have proved to be no issue for me thus far although I must admit I haven't tried flossing yet :oops:
