If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.
Hi Lucyloop! WOW WOW WOW, your teeth looks fantastic. Your smile is beautiful and I'm just so happy for you that the day has arrived! Wow! Just wonderful!
I'm also so happy to hear that you'll finally see some movement/progress and hopefully reach the finish line with your renovation very soon.

Congratulations Lucy! I got my 'toof improvers' off last April so I know your joy. Many, many years of lovely smiles await you. Don't forget to wear your retainers after a few months and the novelty has worn off, mine have shifted just a tiny bit due to the occasional overnight lapse - it's that easy! But hey - this is a celebration and justly deserved! You go girl!
