Re: Metal or Ceramic?

I've had my braces since May of this year, top only so far, and I have ceramic on the first 6, metal on the rest. I absolutely hate my ceramic ones because they're so big and bulky, and I feel like they've made my speech so much worse because I feel like I'm always "tripping" over them. U...

Re: Metal or Ceramic?

Update: I have had both, and have both. I’ve got ceramic on top and metal on the bottom. LOVE LOVE LOVE the ceramics!! They are hardly noticeable both in terms of visibility and comfort. I would love to have them on my bottom arch but my ortho doesn’t do that.

Re: Switching to metal brackets (anyone done it?)

Oh, people comment on my speech all the time. I hear "what?" so often! I've gotten better with it since September, when I started teaching full time, and therefore needing to speak more clearly, but it has been a struggle! I only ceramic on my first 6, so I can see how big the size differe...

Re: Waterpik or Airflosser?

From what I've read, Waterpik is better than Airflosser.

I have a waterpik (not that brand) and I wouldn't change it for the world. My mouth feels so amazingly clean after using it!

Re: No Wire Change?

I obviously know nothing about your case specifically, but I know that in mine, my ortho said he has to make my overbite worse in order to be able to fix my bite properly at the end.

Re: Brand new to braces at 28

I'm already noticing changes already, and it's crazy.

But my lisp is getting worse and not better, which is extremely annoying...but at least I can eat.

Re: Brand new to braces at 28

Thanks! So this is day 5 and things are still going well. I've eaten real food (chicken SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM), although that was not an easy task to do at all...and I've taken the wax (well, Mack's silicone earplugs as I was suggested elsewhere) off because I think my mouth is tough enough to ha...

Brand new to braces at 28

Hey guys! As the title says - I'm 28, and I this is my first time with braces! I got my braces yesterday morning, and so far so good. I got ceramic on the front 6 top teeth, and metal on the rest (bottoms will go on in a few months), and I love the choice! Yes, the ceramics are larger, but I think i...

I think that I'm going to do color...probably baby blue or light pink.

Re: No pictures were taken?

I had pictures and x-rays taken, and a 3D scan of my mouth (instead of molds)
