Moving teeth is tough on your gums.  It should not be done unnecessarily.  You probably did not have any adverse effects the first time you had braces because you were young.

I get the impression ALF is the way to go too. If you just want stronger bones, then why not try Acceledent? The same technology is used to strengthen breaks elsewhere in the body (a product called Exogen). There's a new product called Orthopulse which does the same thing using light. An orthodontist I met 1.5 years ago was part of the trial and said the results were good. It seems to be these would be great technologies to have post-op, potentially reducing the heal time by 2mo and a substantially reduced relapse and non-union rate if results translate from elsewhere in the body. None of the surgeons seemed excited by it I met. I certainly don't want to be the guinea pig. At least try it on an actual one first!
