I would use a different ortho, I would make sure my job was safe before getting banded, I would get clear on top at least.
And I cant say I would have done this sooner because without dental insurance I would still be saving for each procedure, so actually I would have a much longer time till braces.
If money didn't matter I would have had them as a teenager or when I was married so I could have them done with.
