My braces are off!

The day has come! The orthodontist has removed all of my buttons and attachments. It feels so weird, as my teeth are all smooth and slimy. To remove the hardware, he basically just reached in with a pliers of sorts and broke off what he could. It felt weird, but didn't hurt. Then he took a dremel type tool and ground the glue off. The combination of cold air from the tool's exhaust and the heat from the friction caused a bit of pain on the teeth where he needed to spend a little extra time, but it wasn't a big deal.

Then he took another tool and did some shaping and smoothing, mainly on my front teeth. He evened them up a bit, and gave them a rounded edge. This took just vibrates, kind of like the tool they use to cut off casts. It tickled.

Next they did a mold of my mouth to create the permanent retainers. I was told to keep wearing my last set of aligners, and scheduled an appointment for the following week.
