Yes I know what you mean about the fine line between "interesting enough" and too much.
I have had various Hawleys for quite a few years and also just simple top and bottom plates without front arch wires to wear all the time even around people I know.
I also have a bionator which is a whole different ball game. Its really like a top and bottom Hawley combined together. There's a breathing slot at the front. It's really comfortable and when it's in it looks like normal Hawleys with arch wires around top and bottom teeth BUT it holds my jaw rigidly with my teeth a little way apart. I have got used to talking with it in but I can only wear it away from people I know. It's obvious that I can't move my jaw but, of course, almost no one would ask why.
If they did, it would be easy to just say I was recovering from a jaw injury.
I can manage about 24 hours with it in but of course I can only have soup or liquids!

So...... my braces have finally arrived!!

I picked them up yesterday lunch time and went straight back to the car to try them on - they are a perfect fit!

The modified twin blocks with telescopic appliance is not only a mouthful to say but a mouthful of plastic and metal. I drove to a shop and wore them to ask the lady behind the counter for something - I could see her obviously looking, but she didn't say anything.

Once I got home after work, I tried it all with the headgear to finish the look.

I'm travelling out of town with work next week so am hoping to pluck up the courage to wear the headgear in public.

To anyone who isn't sure about ordering from bracesshop - stop hesitating and just do it. The quality and workmanship is excellent - the down side is it takes a long time from ordering to arriving - mainly down to international postage.

I'm going to take some photos of the brace in if anyone is interested?

oh yes, pics please! That's such an interesting appliance and it's hard to picture what it looks like when worn. I've never seen something like it in real life.

I wore the headgear in public!!! I went to a shopping centre out of town - went in a few shops and bought a few things. Got a lot of stares but I really wanted someone to talk about it to me which was disappointing! A very surreal experience!!

@mr-metal
That's awesome. Hope to hear more about your adventures and see more photos. I'm also contemplating having fakes made.

Hallo,

schade. Ich habe am 27.10. eine Bestellung gemacht, meine 4. oder,5. Bestellung. Bislang war immer alles ok, dieses Mal leider nicht. Ich gehe am 10.12. in Urlaub und wollte meine neue Spange dort tragen. Leider macht mir der Shop einen Strich durch die Rechnung.
Ich habe am 27.10. bestellt. Am 13.11., über zwei Wochen später kam die Nachricht, dass meine Abdrücke nicht mehr vorhanden sind. Komisch,aber ok. Ich sage zu, mir ein neues Abdruckset zukommen zu lassen.
Am 17.11. bekomme ich die Nachricht dass das Abdruckset versendet wurde. Bis heute, 26.11. kam nichts bei mir an.
Gestern jedoch, 25.11. wurden die gesamten Kosten von meinem Konto abgebucht.

Ich finde eine Frechheit. Keinerlei Nachrichten vom Shop, alles sehr unzuverlässig, aber Hauptsache Kohle eingezogen.

Schade, bislang war alles zuverlässig, aber leider wird mein Urlaub nun anders als geplant.

Turner - hast du den Shoptechniker hier im Forum schon angeschrieben?

https://www.bracesforum.net/index.php?action=profile;u=6600

allerdings war er scheinbar auch schon eine Zeit lang nicht mehr eingeloggt!

Aber wenn du mit Bankeinzug bezahlt hast kannst du notfalls ja immer noch den Betrag rückbuchen lassen..

Wäre allerdings schade wenn die Qualität sinkt..  Meines wissens wird der Shop von verschiedenen Personen betrieben also der Techniker ist nicht Betreiber..

Der Zeithorizont scheint im Moment tatsächlich ein Bisschen schwierig zu sein - wohl viel zu tun derzeit. Was uns ja nur recht sein sollte, denn wenn der Laden brummt, geht er nicht pleite. In meiner Erfahrung gerade jetzt aktuell (November 2016) ist die Qualität nach wie vor erstklassig und der Service zuvorkommend und freundlich. Insofern würde ich mal für Verständnis werben wollen, wenn unser bekannt guter ShopTechniker aktuell mal für sein Handwerk etwas mehr Zeit braucht. Ich bin sicher, man tut was man kann.

vorallem arbeitet der Techniker vermutlich nicht ausschließlich für den Bracesshop (ich glaub ein so hohes Bestellvolumen wirft er jetzt auch nicht ab  ;) )sondern hat vermutlich einen eigenen Betrieb oder arbeitet in einem..
