wire chipping

#1 Post by bracedbride »

my last question of the day :)

i opted for clear braces with the "pearl" colored wire. everything is groovy except my wire is chipping. is this normal? under the pearl color is metal, which is highly unattractive next to the clear braces.

thanks for any input.

Now THAT is something I wish they told me when I decided to get them. I also really wish they would have asked me if I were a coffee drinker because I think that's staining the brackets a bit.

Thanks for the info, you, unlike to office, have been helpful. ;)
