Re: chichi is braced!
Your teeth look fantastic. Congratulations. Don't worry about the retainers, you will quickly get used to them.

Re: chichi is braced!
Thank you all so much!
Still getting used to the bonded retainers. They're really just not comfortable at all

Re: chichi is braced!
It's been fantastic! I still don't like the bonded retainers, but I'm used to them now. Things get stuck in them and I have so much trouble flossing, so it's not all that different from having braces. I also have my clear essix-like retainer that I'm currently wearing 24/7 (except when eating or brushing).mapleleafman888 wrote:Hey chichi! How has brace free life been now????

I have an appointment in April for a retainer check, at which point I should be switching to wearing it only at night.

Re: chichi is braced!
Wow that end result is very impressive.
Re: chichi is braced!
I had a pretty bad lisp with the expander I had last year but even with that I was able to stop it after a couple of months. You don't have a metal cage in the roof of your mouth so you will be sounding totally normal very quickly!
