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.

Operation next year...

Today was a quick appointment.

Mr S removes and replaces the powerchain on my top teeth.

This one went yellow just like the last one

I asked Mr S about my schedule and when my operation is likely to be
(Miss M had told me Nov/Dec of this year but as it's already that time of year it's unlikely)

Mr S said it's likely to be the middle of next year, between May and September.

He said after I got transferred over to him from Miss M that there is a small delay in the treatment but he says mine is going well.
