User blog comment:Mistysun/I got my Braces off! FINALLY!!/@comment-2004633-20100713144728

When I got my braces taken off (2 years ago), the orthodontist took the braces off, then scrapped the cement off, then they took xrays, and finally they took my picture of me with my braces off, and gave me my retainers. The next time i went back, I saw my picture on the bulletin board. They told me a couple months ago that I didn't need to keep seeing them anymore, so now I only go to them if I need my retainers fixed or something. But going through 3 years of having braces was worth it.
