@braceface2b - let's switch ;)

I hadn't thought of that... my teeth back there are a bit small, so the braces take almost the entire tooth.. and the gaps are tiny, so hard to floss as well with the darn wire.

All my molars except 2 are banded. The two that are not banded are bare. No brakets.

Mine were banded 16 months into treatment :)
My estimated treatment time is 28-32 months total...

I got my lowers last week - all of my lower teeth are bracketed, including the 2nd molars. It's kinda interesting. The first molars have tubes attached with hooks below. The second molars just have some tiny tubes. Interestingly, the wire sticks out both tubes in the back about 1/8" and is bent back toward my gums.
