I have not posted in a long time, I got my braces put on in November. i went to get and adjustment today just like normal. When I got home I realized that on all of my bottom teeth there is two ligs on each bracket, but just the regular one one each of the top brackets. Does anyone else have double ligs on there brackets?

I don't but I do have a wire tie and a lig on my canine that is in a crossbite position, I guess to put more force?

I can't even remember back to the time when I had ligs. I don't think I had them for long.
I've had double powerchains though.

i alwayz have double ligs on all my brackets, well except the last 2 adjustments i've had bottom powerchains. I don't really think it matter whether there is 1 lig or 2 it probably just depends on the assistants preferance.
