Metal Mouth Message Board

I guess A. I'm only supposed to wear mine at night. I wear them whenever I possibly can, so I average about 20 hours a day.

I have ceramics on top and bottom. Ortho just wanted to do the top, something about them being bigger and me chipping teeth, but I demanded both. I've not had a single problem. They are the same size as the braces I had as a child. Granted, the metals now are much smaller, but I wasn't overly concer...

I've had mine since the second adjustment. That was back in September.

I always go every 3 months. Keeps everything healthy and pretty. Plus then I don't have to pay for fillings.

I really only had slight crowding on the bottom. But it was enough that it annoyed me.

Good luck

Lucky you. I don't often hear of people getting debraced early.

I haven't been in braces nearly as long, but I'm ready to be done. They look good to me. I've even been debating about demanding they be removed.

Congratulations! I've got 4 little ones.

That doesn't sound like something to look forward to.

First time I had braces from 9 - 13. Rebraced at age 31

I am nearing the end, and the ortho just put koby ties on my teeth. I have ceramic braces with tooth colored wired, and am very displeased with the metal koby ties. I have seen tooth colored ties on the internet - but is there a reason he would have put the metal ones on?
