Just got banded today, for the second time in my life. First time around was about 12 years ago, when I was a primary school student.
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but as soon as my lower retainer wire was taken off, my lower front teeth did a bit of a moved slowly. Wasnt too fussed about it until they pushed one of my front teeth forward

So now Im banded top and bottom; half clear brackets up the top, and full metal down the bottom. All I can say at the moment is the lower front teeth are in major pain! Unfortunately I cant chew properly cos my front teeth hit the brackets on my lower teeth, which is why I had to get full metal brackets; my ortho said if I had the plastic ones Id break them everytime I shut my mouth...
The one great thing (or two) that Ive noticed compared to my previous experience with braces: no nasty metal bands around my back teeth, and no coloured ligatures, which makes them a bit less noticible, which is great
