Went and saw both my orthodontist and my surgeon last week. I saw the ortho first and he asked my how I felt about my teeth. I told him I was very happy and he said 'well, if we did anything more it would just be tinkering so I think its time to get them off'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO IM GETTING MY BRACES OFF ON THE 8TH OF APRIL!
I can't believe the journey is nearly at an end! The ortho brought Dr Ellis down (the woman who will be eventually fixing my veneers) and they've decided that I'll get a general tidy up, clean and polish at the start of May (just in time for my graduation ball) then they'll be looking into veneers after that! SO EXCITED!
My surgeon was also very pleased and didn't even take an x-ray of me, he said I just have to see him annually now for five years! BEST. NEWS. EVER.
Thanks for writing this blog! :) Just had a read through it and fount it really reassuring. I have my surgery in 2 days so it's a bit scary, but hopefully all worth it. Hope you're well!

You must feel really relieved that all of this is happening, and just in time for your graudation ball. I'm glad you stuck it out with your braces. Many people resented their braces at first, but became really happy once they saw the final result. What's more, it seems you've been a very good patient, as your doctor felt he didn't have to do x-rays! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
