Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 You guys are all right, of course... I guess I was just carried away with joy at being cut loose by my ortho for a whole year.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Congrats! You may also gloat at having acrylic retainers, as opposed to those of us with the tongue scrapers and quail roasting racks retainers : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Naw... The fates punish gloaters, and I could wind up back in brackets and wires if i misbehave too much. That's also part of why I am not " loose, " but " cut loose.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Hey, try eating fresh pineapple the day after your braces come off, and you've rubbed your tongue raw on the tongue scraper/ALF retainer wires : < Why, oh why did I give my extra Amosan away ..... > And hey -- who sez acrylics don't scrape the tongue? > > Tell that to my poor tongue, that's getting raked by the sharp side > edges today. > > C.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Duh - no, I didn't realize that pineapple has acids, not really. I am a culinary idiot, Cammie. You should know that! And I did not realize my tongue was raw until it was too late. Besides, I've been ok eating oranges and tangerines post-op. The pineapple really packs a whallop that I had never experienced before. > SUUUU-SAN!!
