Yes at 10.30 this morning they came off, not without a fight! It was mighty painful getting the metal brackets off, the ceramic ones just shattered. The worst bit for me was the removal of the cement. I then had a good old clean and polish and got my retainers 20 mins later and that's it.

I cant talk in my retainers yet and my teeth are still not feeling stable but really I look like a different person.

Good luck to everyone and know that the end does

Hello all! I write this in absolute trepidation! I have my appointment with my Ortho this afternoon at 16.40 to discuss the removal date. I cannot believe the day is here and I keep thinking its a joke or someone will call and cancel the appointment.

Hi guys, so 7th adjustment has provided me with new gold wire on the top set, nice and thick! New wire on the bottom set both short and causing a whole world of pain!
My Ortho has given me elastics to be worn on one side only...the left side, the elastic is attached to my back bottom molar and my top canine, very odd sensation and I keep getting my tongue stuck! He said it was just to "pull things back a little"? I am a little confused. Why only one side? Am I lopsided in the jaw

Top set, new wire AND a clear power chain from the left back molar all the way around to the right pre-molar, you cant see it but it mean my mid line is being corrected and the gaps in my front teeth are being brought together.

Then NEWS! Ortho said, we are nearly done...EARLY! Brace is coming off in May or June. I cannot believe it, I am so pleased

Hi all, thought I would update my progress a little.

Left undecended fang canine is now all snug and in line with the rest of my teeth, and on the right where the premolar was removed the power chain has bought my right canine back so that all of my front teeth can be shifted right and centralised-I am still a bit "Tom Cruisey" at the moment with my mid line !

The teflon wire ties have rotated the teeth put out of balance by the wayward canine, so really its
