Today, I had the retainer wire glued to my bottom teeth. It was fine. My orthodontist first added an elastic to my brace to close up a little gap then he cleaned the backs of my teeth thoroughly, and glued on the little wire which had been made from the impression made last time. It's embedded in the glue so I can't really feel it at all.
I'd been a bit worried about my top right canine which isn't level with the others yet, so he took off the firmer wire and replaced it with a softer wire, in the hope that it could be brought into line more effectively. And that was it!
He still says I'm on line to having them both removed before the wedding so I have an appointment booked on July 21st, and one on the 26th to have the plastic retainers fitted.
I can't believe that it's nearly all over, that this time last year I hadn't made up my mind to do it yet. Now I'm so glad that I have!
