Metal Mouth Message Board

I recently got all ceramics braces (uppers and lowers). Is there any specific reason for the "ceramic/metal" combination?

I'm 46 yrs with just one week braced. Never too late...

I'm 46 and new to braces (just one week). As many working adults, my nutrition is not the optimal due to time limitations.

Is there any special nutritional requirements to help the "healing" process while on braces? Any specific vitamins or maybe calcium?
