I like the look of them too, and in theory a banded teeth has just 20% remaining surface for caries to settle, assuming that the patient cleans the remaining surface very regular and in-depth.
If you REALLY like them, you can still get them from any ortho. Bands are still sold for all teeth in all sizes, they just cost more to glue in, cos it takes alot more time and the bands cost a bit more than just brackets.
Ive talked to some peoples the last years who had Fullbands, one was a 40year old teacher on a highschool. But id not really like to get them my own, brackets are cool enough for me.
