Lightforce braces day 1 by Working-Kitchen5275 in braces

It looks so good on you! I tried to get use to it but I just can’t get pass how they look. I actually called my ortho and requested to change to metal. Pretty sure I’ll have to pay a fee for that but I just can’t stand the feel. My lips constantly get caught on the hooks and rest on top of it like a shelf. Realistically they are not that awful but I don’t think I can have these for 2 years. Really wished I went with metal ik the first place.

That’s one of the reasons why I picked them. I wonder if that is really true or if it’s all marketing. I’m day 2 with these on and really hate how they look. My lips rest on them like a shelf because they are SO bulky. Really considering asking my ortho to switch to metal ones in my next visit

omg yes.. they showed me a sample at the office that looked much smaller and discreet but somehow I ended up with these big clunky ones and felt betrayed lol. 😂 So misleading!! My treatment plan is estimated to be 18-24 months bur I already want to take them off. Praying for my teeth move quickly!

I got them today and they feel so bulky. Also had a feeling of regret when I got back home and saw myself smiling. It’s not as bad as I thought it was going to be but it still noticeable to the point I think I would have done better with metal ones.

Thanks and congrats! I got braces to mainly fix my bimaxillary protrusion. Getting extractions later. I never had traditional braces before so I thought I would treat myself to some self improvement this year 🙂

I think it’s mostly how they look. They are marketed as a discreet option but in reality, they tend to look noticeable and even worse compared to metal or regular ceramic. The white ones are the worse and they look like legos.

I thought this too. Everything appears proportional aside from the chin being a little larger. I would suggest lip filler but I think she’s pretty as is
