I've had these braces for approaching one year and I am thrilled. I still have some issues with an open bite and overbite, but the end is near.

Here are my teeth last year. Most of all, I hated my "fangs" (canines). I didn't realize the other problems I had.

As you can see, great improvement! Still have bite issues so I have an "open bite".... but I'm happy.

This picture really shows the problems I had on the uppers.

Look how straight! (and, note the annoying turbos and peg for rubber bands, on the INSIDE).

My lowers weren't too bad...

But they're better now!
My only complaint is the rubber bands. I slur and stutter when I am nervous... and the rubber bands accentuate that. But the end is near! A few more months...
I'll update this as I get new pics. Happy Bracing!
