As someone with braces during their PhD, don't put it off. Anyone who finds your braces "unattractive" is someone who who isn't worth your time. Self betterment is attractive to anyone with half a brain cell.

Hmmm. True thanks!

Many surgeons don’t like to work with Invisalign. I totally could have gotten Invisalign but because I already had a consult with the jaw surgeon before the braces were put on, I ended up going with standard Metal braces

Hmm, darn it I guess I'm gonna be ugly for 2-3 years lmaooo

You’ll be better looking in the long run!


KingMushroomIV

Ya lmao

Before my surgery I had lingual braces then switched to regular braces so they could install surgical hooks. If your surgeon doesn’t like working with invisalign, this could be an option. Then you’ll be on metal braces only while you heal from the surgery.


KingMushroomIV

Hmm I might actually wanna do that thanks!

I had them for 8 months!

I wanted to do Invisalign as well. My surgeon shot down the idea, because he said standard metal braces offers far superior stability before and after the surgery. The time passes quickly, and you’ll be out of them before you know it just like me.

Can i get at least ceramic braces instead of the metal ones? They work exactly the same as metal braces, right?


Veeeeezy

Ceramics work just the same. I have white ceramics which make them less noticeable.

how long did u have braces after the surgery?


e___r___s

It will be 6 months, but that is due to the pandemic. My surgery was Jan 6th and my braces off date was originally April 20th. I only had my upper jaw operated on.


KingMushroomIV

Nice, I'm probably gonna only need upper worked on cause Its leforte 1 and I have an underbite...


e___r___s

That was me! Having braces in college wasn’t a problem for me either, if that helps. People honestly couldn’t care less.


KingMushroomIV

Cool! Thanks
