First Set of braces

The day my braces came off
17th April 2015
And so today, after close to 18 months, I've finally taken off my braces!
Yay, jumps for joy and fist punch in the air.
I can finally eat with ease and of course faster.
The braces removal process was rather fast as compared to putting it on. Dr Cheng first cut off the wires of my braces to get the braces off my teeth. That was relatively fast and it took probably about 3 minutes. Next he cleaned my teeth for a good 10 minutes. After which, the moulds for my retainers were made and a handful of pictures of my teeth were taken. The last part consisted of me having to go through two x-ray machines for the x-rays of my mouth to be taken.
Today also marked the day I paid the balance amount of $749 from the $3.8k package. As I had written in part 2, I had made payment for the first half of the package during my first two visits and paid $107 during my subsequent visits.
I'll be receiving my retainers next week and that will signal the start of teeth maintenance journey.
Till then, I can now enjoy all my meals without any heavy metal chains being attached to my teeth. Hooray!
