    Speed Braces

    Hello all! I am new to the forums. I just wanted to post about my Speed braces that I recently had put on. About a month ago, I had my bottom ones put on. 2 days ago my top ones were set in place. Pain is bearable but it is really annoying. I didn't really want braces since im 18. When i was younger I had always just said I didnt want them. But now it's a whole different story. I wish i said yes so I could have had straight teeth already. The ortho said i would need them in for about 1 1/2 years. I think i could do it. The teeth that really bother me are the top ones that are really not straight. Also, the first night somehow i managed to bite off one of my bottom braces. Im guessing it's because the pain was there at night on the first night from getting my top braces on. That's why I have a spring. Has anyone had speed braces and what were your results and Pros/Cons?IMG_0957.jpgIMG_0955.jpg

    I noticed that this is a bit confusing. I wasn't really paying attention while I was typing. So to shorten it down, does anyone have pictures of before and after w/ the time frame.

    I dont know what speed braces are... im just guessing that you only have minor adjustments to be made which is why your sentence is shorter. I will have mine for 2 years. you can check my profile for my albums to see how far mine have come in only 6 months.

    Yes I think that's why it's shorter.
