What brackets?? Getting braced in 3 hours! .. help!

#1 Post by lildreamer »

Hi all, erm i really really need some advice on what brackets .. my ortho has recommended damon 3's as she said i will be in and out 4 months faster and will be done in a year .. my problem is mainly alignment.

To me though damon 3's look a lot bigger than regular brackets ? is it just me or is it true? i really want small brackets as my lips will stick out a mile otherwise.. if anyone knows if the damons are bigger (width wise and how far they stick out) please let me know ..

Thanks so much guys .. :)

I just got Damon 3's 3.5 weeks ago and I find them really small! Loads of people haven't noticed and its good because the top half of them are tooth coloured! Don't worry you will be fine just meke sure you don't come home from the ortho's office without wax!! Good luck!! :lol:
