Aw, don't you look good. Congrats.

Hope you enjoy(ed?) the corn on cob and ribs. Man, do I want to hack into ribs with my teeth and not a knife!

Thanks for your kind words! I was very happy (and cold...it was 28degrees F) in the pictures...still am happy!

It was like a cartoon! I ate 5 ears of corn (full size summer-ears) and a plate full of ribs. Everyone else had a "polite" portion so I could make a pig of myself.

I love my family!!

It was very worth it!!! I followed it up with some of my held-over Christmas toffee. ALL MINE!

Hi,

maybe you could name your newborn retainer "Karen".
Then maybe this will happen :

Jenn running up and down the house.
Karen, Karen, where are you ?
Ah, here you are, glad I found you.
And her family members thinking
oh yes, Jenn acts strangely again today.

Anyway, congratulations !!
Very nice teeth and a gorgeous smile.
And indeed a lovely retainer.

You're right about my family's reaction.

Well, it didn't take long for my lowers to realize they were free again. Two of them have started to rotate back to their pre-braces position. It's only a smidge, but it is very obvious when I look down from above at the arch.

My ortho said that the retainer I get on Monday will push them back without any problem...in other words, they're not going to move so far they can't be put back with the retainer.

I think it's probably going to hurt though!

Hi,

There was about a week between the removal of my braces and me getting my
Essix retainers. Both upper and lower front teeth did move quite a bit during that
time. When I finally could put in the Essix retainers, they were very very tight.
But it didn't hurt. I think because this movement is more like teeth that are still
a bit loose, rather than the movement done by braces. Anyway, still, after more
than a month, everytime when I do not wear the retainers, even only for some
hours, they move a lot, and everytime the retainers are very tight for about an
hour. But it doesn't hurt. Good luck !
