Metal Mouth Message Board

HI everyone....I am new here, and I am both excited and nervous to be getting braces in my 40's! EEEK!!!!

My Orthodontis said that iconix are less visible, and he is not charging me if I choose them, even though they are a bit more expensive than metal.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on which type to get.


Thanks so much.

Well not having to pay more is a huge bonus! They were 3,000 more at my ortho. But I heard talking with them is a challenge and they cut your tongue up something fierce.
What did you end up going with?

I'm very interested to find out which option you chose!

If they are the same price as regular braces, I don't see why not. I'm also in my 40s and have self-ligating braces and have found that most people don't say anything about my braces and some haven't even noticed. I just got navy blue powerchains, though, so that will probably change.
