Hi,

Congrats on your new braces!! As for the ligs, if they really bother you then you should call the orthos office and see if you can come in for a ligature change. Most will do it, no problem. I can tell you though, that you will notice your braces and everything about them MUCH more than anyone else does. Good Luck!!
