Re: Braces off - almost done!!!!

Congratulations, ,

For those of us who went for their first major tightening at the

orthodontist today, complete with teeth trimming, it's encouraging to know

there will be an end to this madness! I think I need to buy stock in Advil.

Enjoy your new found freedom and beautiful smile!

Hooray!

Monday I went to the orthodontist and they said it was DONE! They

then took my braces off! Yippee! Today I went and got my retainer,

but it is clear and once I lose the lisp I don't think that will be

soooo bad. I a really glad I went through with my suregery - even

though I had to have two. In fact I wansn't supposed to have surgery

untill this summer and then I wasn't supposed to be done with my

braces for 6-12 months after and it has only been 3 months since my

first surgery and 1 1/2 since the second.

So good news for me. I am really not trying to brag. I just hope

that hearing this might help those of you that are going through the

part when you wonder if it will ever end -- IT WILL!!!

It is SO good to hear that!! It makes me imagine the glorious day

that you had. So was it a surprise like you went to your next check

up totally unexpectedly or did they give you the heads up a visit

beforehand. I can't tell you HOW happy I would be if my next few

appointments that were to happen! Congratulations and ENJOY your new

smile.

CONGRATULATIONS LAURA!!!

U must be so pleased. It's always nice when things go a lot faster

than expected. Did they tell you for how long you would have to wear

your retainer for?
