[quote=Anonymous]I had a lower front tooth pulled (I have only 3 incisors on the bottom between canines) and a wire glued to the canines to keep things spaced correctly. I was probably 10 for the extraction, and then in high school I got braces for a year or 18 months. I'm 40 now. The wire is still there, which my dentist always marvels at. You are supposed to use special floss to get under it but I am lazy and don't. I've had no problems, but I also was under the impression they don't do this anymore. I would seek a second opinion. I would ask about the consequences of leaving it alone and getting braces later; my mom did invisilign when she was 50+ so does all this dental work need to happen right now? Maybe it does but I'd ask for an explanation.[/quote]
