Debraced! Pictures included
Hi everyone! Hope you're all okay
This morning I had my braces taken off! I had them on for nearly 20 months, my original 'sentence' was 18 months so I'm really pleased. I'm going to put in a few pictures of when I first had them on for comparison. I'm aware they're not absolutely perfect but in my case perfection was practically impossible due to a slightly canted jaw and the nature of my extractions. The outcome is pretty much the very best they could do, and I'm rather happy with it!
Sorry that the pictures are in silly collages, I thought it'd be easier to do that than to upload a lot of separate photos. The 1st collage is before and after photos and the second is a little composition of some pictures I've taken today after having them off.
The debracing process wasn't too bad at all, a bit sore but nothing horrific. I've got a permanent retainer behind my top 6 teeth and upper and lower essix retainers as well.
Thanks for reading!

Thank you everyone, such lovely comments! Good luck with all your treatments
Re: Debraced! Pictures included
Also, I just wanted to add, thank you for all your support on the forum whilst in braces, it's really awesome to be able to talk freely about your worries and have such kind, reassuring answers. I'll definitely still be checking back on here and I'm sure I'll still have questions (retainers are such a pain! ).
