    Bailing on ibraces

    I have decided to end my treatment with ibraces. It hurts my tongue way too much still (3 weeks), brackets get loose easily, and my speech is badly affected still (and I do a lot of public speaking).

    I'm trying to think of other alternatives to correct my bite...

    That's a shame, but it's your call.

    Talk to your ortho Billy, that's the best way to find out about alternatives.

    Good luck!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!
