Hi Lorien,

I have a thick fereneum like you, which has also caused a diastema. Mine isn't quite as large as yours, and I can move my top lip quite freely. I also have impacted canines, and I'm only 5 months into treatment, and my ortho is going to close the gap before the frenectumy and the extractions.

You have fantastic-looking teeth and your brackets look great! You're lucky you could have clear on both the top and the bottom. My ortho prefers to use clear on top and metal on the bottom as apparently the clear are harder than the metal, and when your teeth come together the top ones can be damaged on the harder porcelain surface, whereas metal doesn't have that problem.

Your photos are great. Here's to progress!

It's a six year old thread... I don't know why the photos aren't visible, but it's not abnormal for old threads to not function correctly. Sorry!

You can Google for many, but I'll see what I can do when I get home tonight. I know I have my photos somewhere and will try to reupload some for you.

I was very pleased with my sapphire brackets. I had one or two break over the course of two years, but nothing major. They were subtle and I would choose them again given the selections then available. I don't know what's on the market now.
