Yay! Went for an appointment today and my ortho says the time has come to get my lower braces off - I was hoping he'd do the uppers first, but no such luck.
So he took and impression after covering the brackets with wax, so now he'll make my permanent retainer wire.
I can't wait, I'm so looking forward to getting these things off, just hope the uppers won't be too far behind.
Congratulations Chocoholic! THat is frickin' wonderful news! YAY!
Hope to see some pictures of your lovely bottom teeth!
Wish I were so lucky!

Last Adjustment: February 28, 2006 where they gave me a new bottom wire and attached my impacted canine, newly bracketed, to the wire! OUCH!
