It seems like everyone's getting those bonded retainers; my second cousin has them, too, and was showing them off the other day. I'll have to ask my ortho about getting them.
Anyhow, congratulations on having your FINAL ORTHODONIST APPOINTMENT set. How exciting!
Congrats on your retainers...bring on debanding! =D
