My teeth were pretty tender after the debracing, the cleaning on top of it was almost enough to put me over the edge, and she hardly had to scrape anything at all off! Plus my teeth were very sensitive to hot and cold too and that made the whole rinsing thing almost excrutiating! So....take my advice (as well as the others) and do not schedule your cleaning on the same day, unless you are like totally into pain! LOL<BR/><BR/>I am happy to be braces free though, however, I have not been able to really enjoy it yet as my teeth are still very sore from the retainers etc. Maybe in a few more days things wil be better. <BR/><BR/>BrandyBrandyleigh35https://www.blogger.com/profile/11529371627485577810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899221667539963373.post-13169554876307496092007-11-29T12:50:00.000-05:002007-11-29T12:50:00.000-05:00Thanks Brandy :) Great news that your braces are...Thanks Brandy :) Great news that your braces are coming off already!

I too am a bit apprehensive though, as I don't want things to change or revert back to how they were. I know that is probably highly unlikely provided I follow my retainer routine religiously (which I know I will) but I can't help but worry a bit anyway. <BR/><BR/>Mine come of in 9 days! Oh...and not having read this in advance, I have a scheduled cleaning that same day! :( Hope it doesn't hurt! I'm about sick of pain...know what I mean? <BR/><BR/>Can wait to see you debraced smile. Be sure and post some pics for us! <BR/><BR/>BrandyBrandyleigh35https://www.blogger.com/profile/11529371627485577810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899221667539963373.post-19353296279967983602007-11-19T14:14:00.000-05:002007-11-19T14:14:00.000-05:00Thanks Kristin.

It'd be the best to wait a few days (I waited until the following Monday). <BR/><BR/>I was a little anxious about the removal as well - mostly about the whiteness, or the lack thereof. But it turned out just fine. No problem whatsoever. Smile, and smile big! The day is almost here! When IS your next appointment?<BR/><BR/>KristenMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120613392255983425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899221667539963373.post-25470751245396897022007-11-14T19:26:00.000-05:002007-11-14T19:26:00.000-05:00Thanks Mary.

Your ortho will actually polish your teeth. I think my teeth looked the best they ever did right after debracing. Plus your teeth will be a little sore. I would definitely give it a few days before doing anything. My guess is that your teeth will look great. I think that Kristen had the same worry and then discovered it was unfounded. So just relax, enjoy, and smile! MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16432286735557349932noreply@blogger.com
