Subject: [adultswithbraces] new braces

Hi all!

I'm 27 and just got braces for the first time. It's all metal and the
plastic bits are the same metal color. I'm finally beginning to eat
solid foods again. :D Although sometimes one or two of my teeth feel
like they are very loose, and are painful.

I get to have these in for two years. Then one tooth in the upper
back will have to be removed (the one under it is already gone) when
the braces are out.

I'm eager to finally have straight teeth! :)

Kat

I had to specify what I wanted on top and bottom because it determines how much I had to pay. Ceramic costs more, of course. I have ceramic on top and metal...

Hello, My ortho also will not put ceramics on the bottom teeth. Could it be common place not to use ceramics on bottom teeth? I wanted ceramics on top and he...

I guess it depends on the particular orthos' preference because I HAVE ceramic top & bottoms and I'm very happy with my decision. I have made extremely well...

I think it may also depend on the configuration of your bite. My ortho won't use the ceramics on the lowers because he feels they're harder than the metal...

In my opinion, you're better off keeping the metal on the bottom. And I would be surprised if you told me that your orthodontist didn't offer arguments for...

You'll find that most orthos don't do ceramics on bottom. Several reasons: First, no one can see your bottom teeth usually. Second, some time in your...
