Hi Jendz,
I am excited, definitely! I'm trying not to think about the things that are making me nervous, since I'll have time to ask about them beforehand and there's no point getting myself worked up over it.
I'll be getting the top braced tomorrow, as well as some of the lower teeth. I can't get all of the lowers done due to the nature of my bite (my upper front teeth point inwards, so if I had the front lowers done, I'd just chew the brackets off). I'll be getting the rest done in a few months.
As for ligatures, I'm not sure whether I'm getting entirely self-ligating brackets or not. I'm still trying to decide (yes, I know the time for that is getting a bit short!
). I'll be having Damon 3mx on the lowers and some uppers, but for the front 6 upper teeth, I'm not sure whether to get 3mx on those as well, or ICE clear brackets. I'm not sure what colour ligatures my ortho has, so that's another question for tomorrow.
Thanks for your encouragement, I'll definitely let you know how it all goes!
