Finally, I've got the last strong wire on my top teeth! It was a bit tough to fit, but at least it means that they will now move to their proper resting places! My orthodontist also changed the Inspire Ice squares on my bottom teeth. I think it's been a great combination, as you can't really see my bottom teeth unless I pull a funny face like in the photos, so the clear brackets haven't shown very much at all. And still my friends haven't said a word. I think that I'm going to have to tell them before the braces come off, or they won't believe me! Of course, I've been very, very pleased with the Incognito top braces too, which are completely invisible.
Before my appointment, I looked through the brochure of testimonials. One satisfied patient said that she thought she had been too old to have braces at 35! And another at 47! I had to smile (with my lovely new teeth). It's been well worth having them done at 56!
Congratulations to my orthodonic nurse too. She had her baby, a little boy, over the Easter holidays.
Now I've got to be brave too, and have my braces off before my daughter's wedding!
PS I forgot to mention that I'm hardly aware of the retainer wire behind my bottom teeth at all. I did play with it at first and made my tongue sore, though. But after that, it's been fine.
