Hi! Hope everyone is doing fantastic.
I had an appointment with my surgeon a couple of weeks ago... not due again until December.
This week I had an ortho appointment, and Dr. Arango said to give him one more adjustment and then I'm done. YAY! That means.. dare I say it.. January?! Awesome! Some tiny little thought in the back of my head was hoping for lovely white teeth in time for Christmas... but yeah, that was asking too much.
They took off the buttons on the inside of my teeth, too! I wasn't expecting that, and it was AWESOME. I had them on for a year and a half! I have to wear one band on each side right now to get all my teeth to sit together more tightly, and it's a pain. Each band is in the shape of a box, and I have to take them off to eat. It's hard to get them back on the front of my braces, too. Boo.
I still feel swollen sometimes, and the scar tissue bugs me. Every once in awhile my jaw will get sore, but I have about 60% feeling back on the left chin area and 75% on the right.
Take care, til next time...

It seems like EVERYONE is getting their braces off! Congratulations!!
Glad to hear you're doing well - but bummer about those rubberbands. I'm still in them, but thankfully not in the front!
