I agree. I thought everyone was supposed to get a wire on the back of their teeth after braces. Everyone I know did. I have had mine in for 10 years and have hardly given it a thought. No one else can see it and I don't really notice it. They told me I could get it out in my twenties if I wanted to, but so far I have just chosen to leave it alone. I am grateful for my straight teeth.
