So you must have been envious of me for all of half a day! I knew you had to be finishing sometime soon, but you managed to keep it very quiet!
Yesterday was also scheduled to be debracing day for braceface 2o1o, but she has not posted anything yet.
Your teeth look fabulous, as I expected, and are a just reward for your perseverance and patience over the last ? 2 1/2 years.
Have you got your retainers yet?
All the best,
Jem
Sectional brace with Damon clear brackets fitted to front 6 upper teeth 3 January 2012
Brackets added to premolars 2 April 2012
Estimated treatment time originally 6-9 months. Brace removed on 22 July 2013 after 18 months and 19 days
Now enjoying bonded upper retainer plus part time essix/hawley( I have both)
I go today for my temporary bioform/tray retainers. I will be getting Vivera (tray) retainers as my long term ones, but I may have a crown replaced before I get impressions for those. I have that dental appt next week.
I stopped adding my next appt ticker to my signature when I got the debrace date. I know, I'm so clever and sneaky!
Thank you all for your kind words! Even though I didn't seem to have much work needing to be done, it's still a change for the better, and it's still pretty exciting when you get them off! My teeth look different to me than before I started, better!
