Sorry for digging up this "old" post, but it's fascinating to see all the different approach by your orthos! I'll be getting self-ligating brackets on my top 6 front teeth next month (white or metal, still not sure), 2 months after SARPE. My ortho said we need to wait for the bones to be c...

I got metal for the bottom teeth 2 months ago and after Sarpe, my ortho told me that next month, she'll be able to put brackets on my 6 front teeth to start closing the spaces. She asked me if I wanted white brackets for these 6 teeth, it seem liked a really casual question, no mention of price diff...

Great list!
I'm starting to think that all cooking websites should have a "soft foods" category

Hi everyone! I'm a bit late on finding this great forum, I'm really enjoying reading everyone's experience! I had SARPE surgery on July 9th after having braces on my bottom teeth for a month. Operation went great, they did 10 turns during surgery and only had to do 5 more every other day The swellin...

Glad to see I'm not that much of a late bloomer!

I made the decision to get braces as a present to myself on my 30th birthday :)
