    Switched from Lingual to Standard Braces

    After 8.5 months in linguals I made the switch. I'm 35, so it was a tough call. But, I think it was the right one. If anyone has any questions let me know. The main reason I did it is that I wanted my back teeth pulled forward (to close the last 1mm of extraction gaps) rather than continuing to suck my face backward and collapse the mouth area.

    Benefits: easy to talk, easy to clean, easier for the ortho to get ideal results, shorter treatment
    Negatives: visibility

    This is my first time I visit here. I found so many enjoyable objects in your blog, above all its discussion.
