Re: Clear Braces vs. Metal Mouth

Jen, they gave me the o-rings the first time, and every time after

that they used the teflon-coated wire ties, which indeed appear

white. I had no problem with those at all, and I think that

occasionally they let my ortho get a better angle on the tooth he was

trying to move.

I don't smoke, and generally don't drink much coffee, and tried to

avoid Colas, substituting Sprite and 7-UP, but I found that the o-

rings were nasty when they took them out after even just one month.
