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.

Pre-assessment for day surgery (wisdom teeth removal)

I went down to the Leicester Royal Infirmary for my pre-assessment.

It basically involved a chat about what will happen on the day of my surgery and the nurse took my height, weight, checked my blood pressure and took a blood sample.
