Re: Metal on top and ceramic on bottom?

Thanks for the answers! I think for aesthetic reasons I'd prefer ceramics on the bottom as my bottom teeth tend to show more when I speak.
If they're likely to cause problems with the top teeth chipping then I'll stay away!

Metal on top and ceramic on bottom?

I've seen a lot of people on YouTube who have ceramic braces on top and metal on the bottom. I currently have metal on the top and am thinking of getting ceramic on the bottom. Does anyone have experience with this? I have an edge-to-edge bite so worried the ceramic brackets might intrude more onto ...

Awesome video! Wish I'd taken more photos when I first had braces!

Re: Wisdom teeth caused edge-to-edge bite

Yeah, that totally makes sense. I was just wondering as my bite was fine before my wisdom teeth fully grew out, so I thought it might be a simpler procedure to fix the bite in my case than if I had started out with a more complicated bite issue. I was hoping to hear from people with similar experien...

Re: warning for people getting braces

Wow this sounds really scary. I almost got sucked into getting six months smiles - it seemed like a good deal at the time and wasn't aware that anyone other than an orthodontist could apply braces. Thankfully I didn't go with them and found a proper ortho! Out of interest who was the expert ortho yo...

Wisdom teeth caused edge-to-edge bite

My first post! I just had metal braces put on about a month ago on my top teeth. I previously had braces on my top teeth as a teenager for only 6 months to fix some minor crowding.

Re: My 2nd round with BRACES...

My teeth are quite similar to yours in the first set of photos! I just had metal braces put on the top teeth, and I'm thinking about getting them on the bottom too to correct my bite, but my ortho has quoted me at least 18 months :(
