text: braces on the top? i have these options-braces on the top, or on top & bottom.  which one? i personally would say get them on both the top and bottom. when you have to go through the annoyances associated with braces (ie. getting check ups, avoiding certain foods like gum), it's better to get everything fixed in one go. if you don't want to get both, i would say get the top, since they are generally more noticeable than the bottom. but in all events, just do what feels right to you. hope this helps.
