Debanding was unpleasant, as it logically has to be...all that tugging and scraping and polishing and sanding. The impressions were easy. My teeth feel as if they belong to someone else--big, but smooth and roomy against my lips compared to brackets! The crossbites that I have never felt in my life are rubbing my lips and feel as if they are standing out too far! My bite is not one yet--nothing seems to fit well! The ortho said after a month in retainers, he will go over the bite again to shape and smooth, but he wants it to settle first.

A debanding present from the orth--besides a cake and a professional photo certificate--was a professional set of Crest Whitening Strips with whitening toothpaste and an electric toothbrush. They monitor that to see how it works. Long before braces I tried that toothpaste and it removed all the lining in my mouth, so I sure hope it works this time because now that they are straight, I find myself wanting them lighter, too!
