Thanks!

I'm pumped, eating and brushing feels so strange, but I'm sure I'll get used to it!

Next step - whitening.

Congratulations Switchblades, your teeth look great! Getting used to life without braces must be much easier than the other way around

Besides, you have the rest of your life to adjust to your new beautiful smile. It was worth all the pain and inconvenience, so enjoy

It's definitely easier so far than the other way around, I'm a little concerned with the retainers though. We're having a party tomorrow evening and as we will be eating and drinking throughout the night, I feel like it's going to b frustrating going back and forth to the bathroom to brush my teeth and put the retainers back in between every drink! Don't get me wrong, I'm so psyched to have the braces off and totally adament on compliance - I've done this twice - it's just going to be a bit of an adjustment I think!

Thanks

I've been having a few issues with the retainers but nothing too serious. One of my upper laterals seems to be flaring out in a funny way - it never did that even before my braces - so I'm going to call the office tomorrow and see if I can pop in to get him to have a look.
