The braces have been removed!! Horray!!

Overall the appointment lasted 2.5 hours this morning. The actual removing of the brackets was a little painful, especially on the bottom teeth.

Now I have a wire retainer on my bottom teeth, and an invisilign retainer for the top. The plan is for the invisilign retainer to align my top teeth in about 3 weeks, so I have to wear this full time. Hopefully they'll be adjusted by then. If so, I'll just have to wear a new retainer at night.

Next Monday I have my first post-braces cleaning! I'm looking forward to getting back into a simplified nightly cleaning routine as well.

I'm incredibly happy with the results, and it happened in only 11 months! (Now if my monthly payments would end as well..)
