I have heard of people having braces on uppers for a few months, then have lowers installed, but I haven't seen anyone with ONLY upper brackets. I suppose you just have to trust that your ortho knows what he/she is doing. You can always get a 2nd opinion from another ortho as well.

is it only on upper teeth forever or just for a period of time? if its the later then its normal

I just got my braces today (only the upper part for the time being) because the doctor said that i have an over bite and it needs to be fixed before putting the lower part, because if he installed both now, my upper teeth will grind into the lower braces (because of the over bite), after the upper teeth align nicely (he said in some weeks) then the lower part will be installed

I think that for fixing overbites you need to have braces on both arches... I have an overbite (deep bite) and had braces on the top teeth for about 10 weeks, and then they put on the lower ones. This seems to be the standard procedure for those with overbites. Maybe he meant the type of braces - that he can only use the clear ones on the top arch? Cause I think Damon doesn't make clear braces for the lower arch - the only option is going for metal ones.
