After 20 months my teeth are free and I love my new look.
I didn't have any problems along the way and had my 4th baby boy whilst braced up. I had ceramics top and bottom. I did need to have my 4 wisdom teeth removed before the go ahead and that was an absolute nightmare with a general anaesthetic and infections in 2 of my sockets. So I guess thats why the whole braces seemed easy after that. (I'd rather give birth than go through having my wisdom teeth removed. Glad you can only do that once)
I have a bonded retainer on my 4 front lower teeth and a clear retainer coming in about 2 weeks.
HOWEVER they are feeling rather ick no matter how much I brush. I don't know if I would describe the feeling as slimy but perhaps furry.
ANYONE know if this gets better with time or do I need to see the dentist for this.
Came off yesterday but feel furry

That is so weird that you used the word slimy because my daughter's friend just got her braces off about a week ago and I asked her what it is like. The first word out of her mouth was "slimy". It is probably normal. You might just want to go in for a cleaning just so you get your beautiful new teeth all polished up! Wish I had first had experience to help you with this. I am still in braces!
Braced on 8/05 - Braces off 12/06
