River's Naked Teeth

#1 Post by shinyRiver »

How long I have waited to post in this forum! 22 months, 3 weeks and 2 days I have spent in braces, anxiously awaiting the day I could post here... And now I have to wait about 3 more hours- for my braces to come off. I cannot wait to get that first picture of my final smile!

In the mean time- I present to you, for your viewing displeasure- my old self:

Wasn't I just the picture of disorder? No more! My smile has been rearranged, and I anxiously await my debonding!

I am getting same-day essix retainers today. I want to get hawleys as well, as my old orthodontist had recommended, but my new orthodontist hasn't mentioned anything about hawleys, so I don't know... We'll see how it all turns out this afternoon!
