After a year and 2 and a half months its finally over. That's right Angela is braces free. I have been braces free since Wednesday. I like it a lot. It was weird at first because my teeth were all smooth, and when I looked in the mirror I kept thinking that I would have braces.. nope.
Thursday I had to go in to get my retainers and the top clear retainer fit nice and my bottom didn't fit at all. They tried fixing it with this one thing that didn't really work so the other lady helping came in and tried to soften it up so they can reform it to my teeth. I kind of worked but now it doesn't fit at all. I asked the lady why it didn't fit any more and she said because when they took my braces off my gums were swollen from the braces and that over the day my gums had decreased in size so that the mold that took no longer fit my teeth now. The lady scheduled an appointment to get my impressions redone and get new retainers since my gum would be back to normal by then. AWESOME!! I am excited for my new retainers even though I might have a lisp. HA HA.
