Hello Everybody.

I m 37 years old (close to 38) and got braces in may 2011. I m planned 2.5 to 3 years in them.
Goal : align middle of teeths, fill the gap of the missing teeths, and make down an impacted canin (which make the lenght of the treatment).
I have top and bottom ceramics brackets with metal bands. I was supposed to get metal on bottom (i payed less for that lol) but the ortho forget it when she putted me the bottom and i had ceramics option for free :-)
I got jaw/gum surgery 4 weeks ago to glue a bracket kind of thing on my impacted canin. We are now pulling it toward front on the main top archwire, but i m supposed to get TPA this week to make it move back now...

Just wanting to share experience of all that with you.
