Braces will hopefully be coming off in january after nearly four years.
That'll be nice.

I didn't notice you had braces
But how the fuck were you wearing braces for 4 years?! Were you teeth upside down or something?!

You remember mine, right? I needed them 12 months!

I dunno, I think my orthodontist might be shit.
He did definitely mess up once, which added on six months. That was nice.

Ah
Bugger. There's not much you can do either; getting another orthodontist to continue your treatment is a pain in the arse, mine just informed me of that.
I'm going to be commuting to Portsmouth, I think.

That will be a joyous day.
I remember when mine came off. Then I had to have a retainer, which I lost. YAY

Does it hurt?
I swear, I freak out when they change the wire; what's it like when they're sawing glue off?
( Methylene Blue - electrohead, Tue 9 Dec 2008, 23:05, archived)

They don't saw it off
they just twist it slightly and it comes off surprisingly easily.

All of the glue?
I thought residue would be on there, given that it's stuck on and welded on with UV light!

If I remember rightly, it comes off when they do a quick polish afterwards.

I've had a few little bits out already.
It's amazing it can live in the mouth, one of the most hostile environments about, for so long, and also come off that easily.

I was scraping it off the back of one of my teeth, actually
but any whirring noise makes me cry. I'm getting chips repaired under plenty of NOS!

Can I lick your teeth when you have them off pls?

Depends.

I still have dreams were I'm still wearing mine
It's a bit odd waking up and it's not in. I only had mine for 18 months though

I'm just glad mine were dispensed with over a year before I started higher education.
Seeing as I'd had more than enough aggro up till then.
