From my own treatment as a kid I had my upper fangs were very pointy and stuck out like a vampire for that reason the brackets on them teeth would always snap off, so one day when I went in my ortho placed some like metal sheets on the upper part of my fangs and also the lower part this would then keep the brackets in place he did this to both my upper fangs, so it looked like both my upper fangs were just sheer metal no white off the tooth could be seen.as
