FINALLY!!
As I have been for the past almost 2.5 years, I’m going tobe brutally honest about the pain/discomfort involved in my debanding procedure. My bracket removal WAS painful on a few teeth (mostly the ceramic brackets). The lower Damons were much easier to remove because she kept the wire in, and removed the whole thing at once. Molar band removal was HORRIBLE!! My butt came out of the chair a few times, thinking they were pulling my teeth out. I told her, “They were hell to get

I will definitely be getting debraced on the 15th! He did a little IPR on my front incisors and gave me 2 powerchains to speed up the gap closure. He also tweaked my lower wire a bit, but all in all, I think he's pleased enough with my progress that he won't feel horrible taking them off. I will be getting an Essix retainer on top and just a permanent retainer on the bottom. The Essix will be ready the same day, which works out great, since my cleaning appt. will be next door that afternoon.

No, not that kind of date (Hopefully, that will come later!) An even better one: MY DEBANDING DATE! It will be August 15th at 9:20 AM.
Even though I’m going to see my ortho next Friday, 8/3, I called the office today to see if I could just go ahead and schedule the debanding appointment, since my schedule at work is really tight. I told her I wanted it as soon as possible after 8/3, but unfortunately, he was going to be out of the office the following week. So, I took the next available

Well, the day I’ve dreamed of is finally going to come true.
I went in for my adjustment today, knowing he was probably going to just do some shaping on my lower teeth. I told him that the elastics were starting to cause some spasms in my upper jaw, and that I thought I was ready to get my braces off at my next visit. At first, he didn’t seem too happy, but then he said, “Well, let’s shape these teeth and see how they settle in. I’d really like them to settle in before we take off

I’ve had a couple of visits since my last blog. Will try hard to make this a short post (LOL!)
Here’s a recent pic:
On May 18th, I got my broken bracket replaced with no problems. I decided to sneak in “the question”… you know the one. I asked if I could get my braces off in July, and told me “Uh, that would be premature,” and “It doesn’t work like that.” He then proceeded to list all
