Only had lingual brackets on the top front 6 teeth but all was fine in this regard! if you were worried or wanted to be extra careful you can always cover the entire bracket area with silicone wax then there would be no sharp edges..

I think I felt worst about my decision 3 weeks in! I got frustrated with it not feeling "normal" yet. I also had teeth that weren't *that* bad but enough to bother me to get front 6 teeth with incognito. It only took 7 months in the end (would have been 6 but I was on holiday) and it was t...

I've had incognito braces on the top front 6 teeth for 7 months- would have been finished a few weeks ago but my ortho was on holiday! I am totally happy with the alignment result, but am hoping they can make some additional contouring improvements. ..

* are due to be removed tomorrow afternoon, bad typing on a phone!

... Just that really, they ate due to be removed tomorrow Steeton so am very excited/Nervous! They are also going to do a little contouring on my front teeth and should also be sending me away with some tooth whitening kits so. ..

My lisp was awful to begin with! and also very little/no pain. 6 months on my speech is normal and my teeth are straight - but there was an initial month or so before my tongue figured it out.

Ah ok. Hopes firmly lowered ... Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully not too much longer for me...we shall see!

HI everyone, just wondering how long you had your last wireon for? Just had mine put in last week, have an appointment for 6wks later and was assuming it would be for a tightening as usual but then got my hopes up thinking perhaps he would just debond me! Any experience to share? Did you know you we...

1800 for an upper sectional brace! (Front 6 teeth)

Just a quick reply to say don't panic! I found the first fortnight a total struggle (upper lingual sectional brace on front 6 teeth)... Am now 5 months in and it is really not an issue. I use the wax /silicone stuff a lot not for the pain relief issue but for speech - literally mould it over the fro...
