16-04-2010` Braces debond in May!

Braces debond on 19th May! Retainers and S&P on 21st May.

I find that the lower anterior are mild malaligned still but my orthodontist thinks it's straight enough. He said the slight 41 'crank' (it's like rotated to me) will bounce back to norm after the braces are removed. Seriously, I aren't too sure about that!

I will have to wear retainers, that's to say to remember to remove them during my meals (with possible saliva dripping and sorts of yucky and unglam sights) and putting it back without wrapping it in tissue papers and risked losing it by leaving on the table or cleared by the 'ever-so-hardworking' waitresses or cleaning aunties.

I'm so glad I've started out ortho tx and that its coming to a closure.

Crazy as it sounds, I do consider crown lengthening to correct my gummy smile. Unless i'm able to find a super nice dentist who'll volunteer to do at minimum cost or FOC.

I'm relieved to hear from J! At least an email to relay he's safe. Platonic friendship.
