Congratulations! Sounds like you've got just the results you're looking for!

My only word of caution to others reading your story and hoping for the same for themselves is that they should be sure to raise with any orthodontist the subject of the stability of the results. Sometimes these issues are just dental (all about where the teeth are) and a really nice, and stable result can be achieved using orthodontia alone. But if there is an underlying skeletal issue, then often a purely orthodontic approach can lead to results that whilst looking good are not stable in the longer term. Naturally too there will be cases that fall somewhere on the borderline.
