I've recently had my braces removed (May 2009) and now have an Essix retainer for my bottom jaw (to wear at night) and an Hawley retainer for my top jaw with false tooth attached (to wear during the day).

Starting in Aug/Sept 2004 I had Damon type 2 brackets, then In-ovation brackets (replaced March and May 2006) and seven In-ovation brackets without clips (with elastic ligatures).
Total time in braces = 4 years and 8 months!

NB: All treatment is through the NHS apart from implant work done by Mr Ziff which is private.

The waiting is over!

I have finally got to the top of the waiting list!

I am now 20 years old and at University.

Mr S asks if I still want to go ahead.

I say yes and he refers me to another orthodontist Miss M who will deal with my brace work.
