Rod Dunsmore asked about braces for adults- Rod, my wife is an orthodontist and in her practice, probably 1/3 of her patients are adults. Some opt for the regular style bands and brackets while others go for clear brackets (on the front). Not being the orthodontist in the family, my knowledge is strictly hearsay, but there are several options for orthodontic treatment. It appears that the bottom line on duration of treatment is the difficulty of the case and the cooperation of the patient. The best thing you can do would be to talk to your general dentist and have him/her recommend one or two orthodontists with whom you can schedule a consultation. Good luck and keep smiling. **************************************************************************** ** Keith Horton ** ** "If at first you don't succeed, keep ** ** University of Hawaii ** ** on sucking 'til you do suck seed." ** ** Planetary Geosciences ** ** - Curly Howard ** ** keith@baby.pgd.hawaii.edu ** (808) 956-3154 * (808) 956-6322 (FAX) ** ****************************************************************************
