Like many Americans, I had braces when I was younger, but I didn't really appreciate them at the time. Aside from cervical headgear and a bulky retainer (that I didn't wear) for a year before the braces went on, the only really interesting/unusual part of my treatment was that I had big t-loop archwires (like these: http://anonym.to/?https://www.jco-online.com/media/22049/2007-12-756-a.jpg) for maybe the second half of my treatment, which I remember being very visible and digging into my gums.
Anyway, just wondering what other strange or unusal treatment anyone went through, or what were the highlights and lowlights of treatment?

I requested some additional things like thicker plastic, and that the lower jaw is pushed forward a lot. (its slightly infont of my upper front teeth
)

Finally an update! I got my first adjustment on Tuesday afternoon.
It was great to be in the office but they were too efficient: it was over too soon. I didn't get a chance to wait in the waiting room and see the other patients, they took me right back. I was in the second waiting room alone for another minute or two and they took me right back.
I went into a room where my old ligatures were removed and a new set of silver ligs we prepared. The ortho came back. He looked at my teeth and my old X-rays and said I would be moving from a .14 NiTi wire to a .16. He said I was doing so well that it was time to "turn up the heat".
The new wire and ligs were put on and I left. The pain was minor...at first. By the next day it felt like I was punched in the mouth. 3 days out and it has become more of a full pain.
My next adjustment is in 8 weeks on dec. 14th. Updates are on my Instagram. If you want to see more or know anything, ask.

Carrie had her fourth adjustment yesterday. It was nothing earthshaking. They took an x-ray, went to a stronger archwire on the bottom, and left the top wire the same. She chose silver ligs and power chain. The way the ortho talked, it seemed like keeping the power chain was sort of optional, but he recommended keeping it and so she did. She still has the bite stoppers, but they're going to move some brackets at her next appointment, so she may finally be freed of those accursed things in late November. Still no elastics. I have to say that I REALLY like the look of the silver ligs/chain.
I'll be putting a video on YouTube today or tomorrow, so stand by!

Hi !
It Give you a little lips but it is very difficult to articulate and say the words with "S" and "C" in fact all the speech and affected and we hear the sound of the herbst when they slide. And, the twin block makes me drool for me, but maybe it's a matter of habit. It's special to speak with the twin block

Hi Mitechcat
I have the twin block since one week. i try to use it only when i am alone, i work alone so it s easy but i have very much phone call so it s not easy to speak with the twnin block.
For the moment he longest ove worn it so far is 3 hours, i like to test it 12 hour !
I can not close the mouth and you? and but it makes a lot drool..
i have a headgear and weaing witht he headgear is awesome
I would like to test it with a facebow with bite plate , but no bite plate in Braces shop :-(
For the moment i have never test my braces in public, i think i will try one day
