These are my first braces, but they look good and work well. The clips are securely fixed, the length is easily adjustable. I appreciate the variety of colors available (I have black, green and blue. Red might be next). I've been wearing them for a few weeks now, inspired by the Freakonomics podcast to try them out instead of belts and they're super comfortable, plus I've gotten a lot of compliments on how I look in them.
