HI Everyone Thank you all for your replies :rose: lots to think about,,,,, I wish now I had asked for a bracket when I went for my lower ones and then I could have examined them over the last 4 weeks !

Lucky you ! But it gives me hope

:-(( it has only been 3 days I know I know Every post I read say that it takes a while :-(( The brackets don't hurt at all but how is it possible that my tounge and cheeks will get used to these really sharp wires and HUGE hooks ?
