Hello
I'd like to hear from anyone who's actually had this done or if you know of someone who has.
I've been told I'm a candidate for this but I'm rather scared as i'm in my 40's and my regular dentist and others have told me that this might not be the way to go.
It just looks like a perfect way to get your teeth fixed in a short period of time. The Cosmetic dentist I saw said that he'd have to pull my first two bicuspids and one incissor from the bottom. The teeth would be aligned in 6 months and splinted together after that so I wouldn't need retainers.
