good for you. hmmmm.. well you said your teeth isnt that crooked, so that means movement on your teeth isnt that active since it is in proper arc. what brackets do you use? self-ligating or traditional metal with rubber ligs? some say self ligating brackets are less painful because because the wire ...

true that, grey is much more conservative than other ligature colors. im planning to have tie wires next adjustment. i think nickel-titanium wires has low coefficient friction on tie wires thus promoting more constant and hypothetically speedy movement.

i got a niti wire .16. Niti wires changes/switch back to its original form once its in mouth temperature.

i got ligature wires as ligature instead of rubber ones. My ortho told me it that ligature wires are more efficient than rubber ligs. Rubber ligatures looses it elasticity over time, once it does, the movement stops. Whereas for ligature wires it remains constant. the only thing about ligature wires...
