, after 2 years, 1 month, and 23 days my daughter got her braces off. She was a little nervous and a few times it hurt when Amy, the assistant, removed the front brackets, but she was a happy camper afterwards. The staff in the office sang her a little song and gave her a balloon and a sack of candy and gum (stuff she wasn't supposed to eat while the braces were on).
The orthodontist assistant placed two fixed retainers on the insides of her front teeth. I didn't think she would do a good job with the removable kind.
We spent lunch at Chipotle and afterward dropped by my my dental office to clean her and her brother's teeth. The only glitch was when brushed her teeth after lunch and began to panic because her gums were bleeding! She thought her teeth were going to fall out. I explained about the puffy gums because she hadn't been brushing as good as she should have with the braces on.
Now she waits 4 weeks to go back to the orthodontist and get her official "after" photos taken.
