Advice for Linguals

[BlahBlah]

It's just the way i feel and the things that have happened to me through out this experience...

I think i was specific.. please refer to "sick of my braces" thread...lol aye...

I just like to point out that it's not as rosey for me as it is for others...
I dont think i am confusing newbies but preparing them for what comes next....

Every newbie that comes on the website says the same things "give me advice" and "what to expect"

Don't expect to cruise through it...

It's tough work..

I've had my top linguals for 5 weeks now, the bottom ones for 3 weeks. It took a little while to get used to them, but in general it's been better than I expected. I've had an occasional poke from the bottom back ones but when I told my ortho he filed down the hook a little and it's been great since then. The only think is that I've had brackests come off 3 (!!!) times, always on the same side and always the very last one. I think it's bcause of how my bite is right now but it's really annoying, especially since it always happens on a weekend so I have to go 2 days with a poky wire. Dental wax has been my saviour with that.

Question: Does anyone else have brackets coming off repeatedly? What did your ortho say or do?

BlahBlah, you are really making me angry! Just be mature and state what about linguals has been particularly challenging for you. It would help people very much! Your discouraging posts had me in tears the day after i got my linguals because I thought I had made a big mistake.

On the contrary, i love my linguals. No one sees them, my lisp has gone away, im learning how to eat agin- and i am 100% whole-heartedly happy with them!

So, why don't you do everyone the favor of stating why linguals are discouraging for you... or just shut the heck up... ayeee?

Please lay off BlahBlah, this is a forum and everybody is entitled to their opinion, otherwise just call it the 'I love Linguals Forum'. Negative comments targeting individuals only serves to isolate that person, and a forum is nothing if it doesn't have opinions from both sides. BB has already alluded to in another post the reason for their dislike of ibracers, so maybe we should take the time to read it.

BTW I for one agree and disagree with BB. I have had both good and bad experiences to date (2 months in to a 24 month treatment). Overall however I am pleased to have chosen linguals as it definately meets my main cirteria of remaining hidden.

If you want em, get em! If you are that sick of them, take them off. No one will hold a gun to your head and tell you that if you pay and do not finish treatment, they will kill you. Everyone will have their own experiences whether or not they're using linguals, labial braces, removable, or what not.
