Hi Louise
Good to have another UK person on board, we seem to be a rare breed around here, well in comparrison to all our US buddies,anyway..I don't think that braces have started to catch on as well here as in the US, well we're always a little ignorant when it comes to our our responsibility for our health...which gives reason to the stupid comments you may no doubt receive in time from friends

, and possibly family

, but don't let them deter you, its your journey and only you can make it

, so keep in touch with all your friends on this forum.
By the way the x-rays and study moulds are not that bad, and its for such a short time. Its a pity about the no choice of brackets, but that is by the by , you are getting something your ortho is experienced in using, and thus happy to recomend, through their continued use.Just for the record, I have ceramics upper and lower....but have had probs with them, chipping teeth etc, so now another ortho has given the second opinion to have them changed..next week..thus a time of removal and glue scaping to contend with...should have stuck with metals..their first choice then.(?@><***) but me in my vanity

, wanted to do as I pleased.hohum.
Anyway loads of others have had ceramics with no problems, others have, just as some have had issues with metal, but others don't, its personal preference...Ill say that again..its personal preference

Bye for now
