Re: lingual braces and ortho surgery?

[Guest guest]

I can remember at least one person who had lingual braces and had the

surgery. I cannot remember whether she had to have some special lugs

put on the outside to accommodate the surgery, though. I have a vague

recollection that she did, but that they were in place only shortly

before and shortly after the operation.

I think they are a real pain to get used to, and that they are more

expensive and slower than the regular kind. But she wanted them, she

had them and she was pleased with her results.

You may know this already, but many adults have enormous fear of

wearing visible braces. Then once they have them installed, they find

that few people even notice them -- and most who do notice them, do

so because they are thinking of making some changes in their own

mouths.

Still, it's your choice -- and that of your surgeon.
