I'm currently on wire ties on all my brackets (and have been since the beginning of treatment) and they haven't been that much of a pain. It's just that occasionally the end of the wire pokes out after eating/brushing/flossing so I just tuck them back in with a fingernail or something. I just had my first adjustment yesterday and asked them if they'd ever use plastic ligatures on me.. and he said maybe just for like a month or two - the majority of the time, it'd be with wire ties. :P Oh well. And I was looking forward to choosing colors!
