I think these days you can get non-metal braces, but it might mean searching for an alternative orthodontist.

I had braces and fillings and I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome recently after years of irregular periods (which got worse since root filling). My friend had braces and also has irregular periods.

I don't have the cysts, though, at least I didn't at least scan. The name is somewhat of a misnomer as it's thought to be the underlying problem that causes the cysts, not the cysts the problem. Some people say the problem is insulin resistance, so lowering carbs in a diet can help, but lack of menstruation etc can also be a symptom of toxicity as mercury and metals interfere with hormones.

I'm hoping that my probem might improve with the replacement fillings, unless I really do have the condition which is not impossible as diabetes is very strong in my family.
