I had a defective ceramic bracket. When they went to use a thicker wire, it wouldn't fit and they had to replace the bracket (which then put me back down a wire size) befor my treatment could continue. I've never had any trouble with the wires fitting in the metal brackets.

All of this said, I REALLY wish I had gone with invisalign.

It’s been great seeing everyone’s pics and reading through the blogs. I hope to make a decision by the end of the week.

gregpeckfan: WOW! Your extraction gaps are closing so quickly. You must be excited to see such great progress early on. How did you get the date to show up on your pics?

Lori, I am such a dork. I just used Paint available with windows accessories. My fiance is a programmer and has 1000 different software tools but I can't get him to do this type of simple crap. I pulled them into paint, did text and added the date, and then cut them and pasted into a new paint window one-by-one.
