Welcome to my blog. I'm having braces fitted at the age of nearly 56, and I thought you might find my experiences useful, if you are thinking of doing it too.

Incognito Braces - I'll Soon Be Having Them Off (Or De-bonded!)

At yesterday's appointment, my orthodontist tried the firmest wire, but it still did not fit, so he's replaced the one I had and added some chain elastics to make it firmer. A little gap has opened up since last time between my right front tooth and the next one. He said that he could 'polish' it to make them fit more snuggly together, but I'm not sure because the mechanical polisher is a bit scary and noisy, although it doesn't hurt.
I've got just two more appointments before my Incognito Brace is removed, or de-bonded, at last. That will be almost a year to the day, since my Inspire Ice Brace was removed too.
When I made the appointment for the de-bonding, the receptionist drew a smiley face on my card. Yippee!
