I used to be scared to go in and get my wires clipped because I felt like I was intruding.... then I realized "hey! I'm paying 5 grand for these buggers, so if I need wires clipped, I get them clipped." Been OK every since....LOL. If you look at my journal, you'll see how crowded my teeth were only 8 months ago... for the first 4 months, I was going in between appointments because the wires were growing like mad. Now that they aren't as crowded, I've been able to make it to an appointment without going in between. Although, I just went today because a wire was getting too short! How is that possible, I asked! Arch is expanding and wire was too short to fit all the way around...lol.

Anyway, if they need to be trimmed, go in. You're paying good money! :)
