Okay, so tomorrow I get debanded

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.

The ortho comes at you with pliers and RIPS the brackets off your teeth!!!!

Just JOKING!!!!! You will be fine. There is minimal discomfort, but there IS a little tugging to get the brackets off. Once the brackets are off, the ortho will smooth down your teeth where the bonding was.

Congrats on coming to the end of your journey!!!!!! :D

I'm done!
I get my retainers next Wednesday, and I believe I am getting Essix retainers (whatever the clear ones are).
