Got a Debanding Date!
I had an ortho appointment today, and I thought I might be getting a debanding date. There was talk that it would be right before Christmas, but alas...that didn't quite happen.
My ortho is doing some fine tweaking and has me in a funky triangle configuration for rubber bands. He said he wants to see how these go for 4 to 8 weeks. BUT, we did set a debanding date of February 8. I simply cannot believe that this journey is coming to an end!! I'm going to get upper/lower permanent retainers, and then probably the "invisilign" type retainers (whatever they are called).
I'll be patiently counting down the days to February 8

Wow, congrats Chicago!
That's right around the corner, too! I can only hope to get released in 2011...

Re: Got a Debanding Date!
I'm confused by your ticker...when exactly did you have surgery? Anyway congrats on the debanding, chicago! February 8 is right around the corner. Time flies.
Re: Got a Debanding Date!
Thanks everyone!
My first surgery (which was upper and lower expansion) was 2/4/09. My bi-max (upper and lower surgery) was 9/15/10. I was braced on 5/4/09. So, close to 2 years in braces and two trips to the bone saw!!
