We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Re: Tie wires Vs Ligatures (movement)??

So yes, it does affect tooth movement, but not in any overly obvious way. >I had tie wires put on this last adjustment instead of >ligatures. Do they effect tooth movement differently? > >THKS!
