Kgstar's Braced Story 1-6-11

Thank you very much, I'm getting my braces this Friday and I can't make my mind up! I got the impression that the ceramic braces were clear? And do the grey/silver ligs blend in well then? Sorry for being a nuisance. I just can hardly find any information about Invu braces on the Internet. Thanks

The silver/grey blend in really well. At first they always gave me clear bands which u might want to try, you can't see those but they stain and eventually turn yellowish. So after having been stuk with stained bands I tried the grey and was way happier so try clear first if u r worried and then try the grey see how u like it. When I went in for my braces they accidentally Put on the silver ones. Although theyare smaller and have a low profile I thought they looked gross (on me anyway). Then they had to take them off and put the clear ones. I was undecided until the day of too but lucky enough with that mistake I was more satisfied with my decision! it's a tough one I know. But I was happy. Some people look really cute with metal ones and I wished I were one of them cause they are smaller and these are bulky but u cant tell uhave braces and thats the best part! Good luck

I've got my braces on! Went for the invu ones. But eventually I will be getting metal ones on the bottom. They're great! No problems at all"0, except that it is quite difficult to eat. But no pain what-so-ever. Thank you for all your help kgstar
