Having a mouth full of brackets is a statis symbol as well for some teens. Some till the discomfort sets in. (There is no such thing as pain in ortho, just discomfort.) :-)

Yep!
Each doctor has their own philosophy about "first phase", some think its not necessary. I am not educated enought to give my opinion on the subject. I just do as I'm told.I have seen the use of expanders a lot to widen the smiles, as that is the look now a days. I think it is aesthetically more pleasing then extracting the bicuspids. That was what was done in my teen years. YUK.
