You're teeth look great! Congrats! :)
I have both the bonded and the Hawley and really love that extra security that the bonded gives you. From what I've read adult teeth relapse alot more on the bottom so I think that it's like having double insurance having both! Glad you got your Hawley tightened! They tightened mine today, boy what a difference it makes!

Yeah I'm sure I will enjoy myself... it's been about 5 years thinking about it and reading up on it, finally I said the hell with it and enlisted for a new career and life!
