Nothing special the regular metal braces.

I got mine to assist with helping alleviate my TMJ issues.

I agree with this why would they remove the lowers when they can use molar build ups or bite plane instead of removing and stalling progress.

I'm 33 and in braces atm. I see alot of older guys put in my area with braces but as you said more woman then guys.

Lynn I'll take a look later and make some suggestions. Also sending you a PM

Personally when I first got braces back in my younger days I went in and got braces, went into work that very same day hours later to work. I was a department manager for home depot and in charge of the paint department so I was always talking to customers and the employees. Yes my speech was slight...

Wow Jethro hopefully the third times a charm.

They said that they will be working with the existing brackets all I need to pay is 108 to begin treatment with new ortho but finances are stopping me at this moment until the 14th of Feburary.

I could be wrong but who knows I personally don't think they will cover it unless it's 'Medically Necessary'. I know with my own insurance they will not cover it unless 'Medically Necessary' however they covered up to 1,500 for my braces.

Horrible example: currently tilted inwards \ they are trying to straighten it upright |

I will eventually get a bone graft and implant for that space there but finances wont allow it atm.

Merry Christmas Y'All I hate when I'm at the Orthodontist office and they ask if I have any questions and I can't think of any but when I leave and a few days later I come up with the questions. Anyways the Orthodontist put on a bracket to my last molar on the right side and I advised them they can'...

My ortho and general dentist are on same page meaning they communicate well with each other. So we shall see how it goes I guess
