On May 23rd, 2007 and after 15 months, I FINALLY got my braces removed. I had a choice in which retainers to get and I chose the Hawley upper and lower. Right know I dont know if it was a wise decision, because I work in a hospital and my speech is slurred. I think I sound like Bugs Bunny. I do hope that my speech will get back to normal soon. Is there any hope?!?!?! Also, My the front wire of my retainers are embedded in a clear piece of acrylic. Anyone else have this with their Hawley's and/or know why?
Below I have included pics of my Ortho progress. Let me know what you think.
