Thank you all for all the information. I have decided to go with my daughter's ortho. Thank you mapleleafman888 your story has helped me a lot. I will begin my journey on February 27th! I can't wait to start this process.

Thank you for the clarification. I will remember to twist when I get to that point in my treatment.

When I had my crossbite elastics, the inside ones, I think it only took 2 to 3 months then I was able to stop wearig them. So as long as you wear them as instructed, it shouldn't take too long. Also, these elastics are longer than the regular elastics so I would twist them 6 or 7 times. My ortho sa...

The consult I am having today is with my daughter's ortho. I really liked how he took care of my daughter and all of our concerns. He even called me after hours to check on her during the early part of her treatment. She had her braces removed on December 19, 2013 and now she is getting use to her r...

Today I had a second consult. This Orthodontist, wanted $6500 for top and bottom braces. Add an extra $300 per arch for Clarity braces and $250 for x-rays. When I had asked for the Clarity SL (self ligating), I was told that I wouldn't be getting them. But those were the ones I was interested in. To...

I read your blog Lynette, what type of ceramic braces did you have? They look amazing!

I was told that I would need to wear elastics to correct my crossbites and was wondering the same thing. I have not started my braces at the moment but was wondering how that part was going to take place and for how long.

[quote="ge1281"]I'm 32, and just got my Damon Clear brackets put on 6 days ago (also a nance appliance). It's not so bad. I have soreness when i bite down with my front teeth but it's mild. I have a lisp because of the nance, but i'm coping. I'm getting used to eating solid foods now, just...

How are you feeling now since you have had your braces on for awhile now? Any suggestions for me? I am looking into getting the Damon clear also.

So what type of braces did you decide to go with? How do you feel now about the decision you made? I have to do some more research and have a couple of more consultations before I take that leap of faith. I am giving myself to mid February to set an appointment.

I know when I begin my treatment I will look forward to every appointment because I would want to hear the progress my teeth have made. I was the same way when I was pregnant, I couldn't wait to see my OB so I can get an update on my daughter's growth. I am so excited about getting braces and I can'...

Thank you again Chichi! You are making me feel better already.

So what have you decided to get? I am trying to decide between the Inspire Ice, Damon Clear or the Clarity SL. The first two are really running neck to neck with me. I am just curious as what other's have experienced with both. I have notice more people have mentioned The Damon Clear more than the I...

Thank You ChiChi! I appreciate the information you shared with me. How is your experience with the staining of the clear brackets? Is it really true about the brackets not staining? I heard that the adhesive on the Damon's stain. I eat a lot of pasta, pizza and other foods with red sauce throughout ...

Hello everyone! I am in need of some help. I have been doing some research on braces. I intend on getting braces by the end of February. The three brand/types I have been researching are the Inspire Ice, Damon Clear, and Clarity SL. I have already had a consult for the Inspire Ice and I was leaning ...
