Well, I'm finally getting my braces on tomorrow, after putting it off for years. If I can get my spouse to tell me how to put up photos on this site, I'll try to post a photo of what they look like, as requested. They will be the new self-ligating clear brackets called Innovation-C by GAC. The ortho says we can put 10 clear on the top and 6 clear on the bottom, with the rest metal, and no ligatures. They are supposed to be gentler and yet also move the teeth a bit faster. We shall see. Thanks to everyone for all the great info and encouragement on this site--it really helped me make up my mind to get off the fence and finally proceed.
well congrats yea tell your wife to help u put some pics i also have the M3 self-ligating which is another brand of brackets but mine are all metal i hope u love them, cause i love mine
