    Exclamation Trapped canines in gum , need braces to pull them down.

    i have two trapped canines within my gum , and my operation to have my milk canines taken out is on tuesday. I'm 16 so its not a good time to have braces at. I was just wondering is it possible to get clear braces/ceramic/lingual braces for this problem, as i dont think i could tolerate braces for almost 3 years for 2 teeth you cant see at the moment anyway. please help would be much appreciated .
    many thanks

    It would be possible, you need to speak to your orthodontist. Tooth coloured braces would only be available on a private basis.

    I hope this helps

    The best thing would be to talk to your orthodontist. Orthodontists have certain preferences and will guide you accordingly. Both systems are good when used appropriately
