Hi, the speech is fine now. But something keeps happening to my braces: a brace comes off, or I pulled out the wire, or s wire comes out of the tube on the very last braces. It's so annoying, I started thinking I should have gotten the normal braces.

Hmm, did you tell your ortho?

Sure, I did. She said it's normal for the first months.

So does she just fix it when it comes off? Do you still regret getting iBraces?

Well, twice she fixed, twice she was out of the office for a week and I had to find another ortho to have it fixed urgently, and one my boyfriend fixed the wire problem

. Right now I am walking around with a wire sticking out of the tube on the last brace and poking my tongue. My next adjustment is in a week, so I figured I will just wait until then rather then having it fixed right now.
Yes, I still regret the linguals. Should have gotten the normal ceramics or Invisalign, I think.
