yeah, it isn't too far off in the long-run. I've been waiting many many months already, trying to fix my tmj issues (had a procedure to open my jaw), cavities, scheduling consults and scans and waiting months between appointments. It's been a huge test of patience for sure haha.

Will be all the more satisfying when I actually get them on though :)
 
Sorry to hear about the delay, but the anticipation is also fun!

Do you think you should contact your ortho to make sure they are going to use metal brackets? I'm sure everyone here would be disappointed for you if you ended up with ceramic by default.
How long do you hope to be in braces?

I am also at the anticipation stage, albeit waiting for fake braces to satisfy my desire for a metal smile. It is not the same but it is better than nothing.

Good luck  :)
 
Oh, I asked  the ortho before if they do ceramics out of curiosity, and she said yeah but they’re 450 more, and I immediately went ‘oh I’ll just do metal then’. Even if they were the same price, I’d want to do metal because of this kink, because I like the look, and they’re less bulky/more durable I’ve heard and I like how colored bands look on them. But the price just gave me another incentive :) I’ll take my metal brackets and keep my 450 please  ;D

I had thought about ceramic at one point, but it would lose a lot of the thrill for me. Having those metal brackets glued to my teeth and the total metal mouth look is so much more hot and exciting lol. Bigger change, more visible. Yes, I definitely need to have metal braces lol.

I think Imma go with silver ligatures at first too. Colors are fun but for my first time getting braces on, I want to experience just the classic metal mouth look that I’ve fantasized about so long.
 
That was the same reaction I had about ceramics! I did the math and it was like $25 per tooth, and it was only on the top. Like how is it $25 for a tiny little piece of ceramic? Overpriced, I’ll keep my extra money, it’s not like people can’t see them, and with the amount of coffee etc I drink they would end up looking terrible in like a week.
 
yeah haha, like they're going to be noticeable braces either way--I'd rather keep my money than "try" to make them look more discreet. And less discreet for who exactly?

I also don't like how a lot of ceramics look sometimes. Like some look good in photos, but others (or other angles) make them look kinda bulky and strange to me? At least with metal I know what I'm in for and not expecting something to look more discreet than it does and be disappointed. And I heard ceramic are harder to take off and can even damage teeth..no thanks!

Also my top teeth don't show a ton unless I talk more animatedly, so it'd be an even extra waste for me lol. So fuck it, all metal it is.

And yes, I want to drink coffee and have tomato sauce and things without worry of staining! Metal plus darker coloured bands all the way for that.

I've commented on the "Orthodontic Treatment: Your choice if you have to get braces as an adult" thread.
