Yes, braces can be placed on molars. In fact, molars often serve as key anchoring points for the orthodontic treatment, helping to guide the alignment of other teeth. Typically, bands or brackets are used on molars to secure the archwire and facilitate tooth movement. It's important for orthodontists to evaluate each patient's specific dental structure to determine the best approach.

When do you know if you have to put spacers for braces?

I am 15 and I wear braces so I know what they are for and when you should get them. You only need them when the orthodontist has trouble attaching the back part of the braces onto your molars. Spacers push on the teeth to make room for this device.

How do dentists put kids teeth braces in?

It is different for everyone, so this might not be the same for you. Some people have to get expanders and other equipment before they get braces.This is what happened for me, but it is very unlikely that your procedures will be exactly the same. All orthodontists are different. This is the basic and typical way to get braces, though.They start by putting spacers on your teeth to widen the space between the molars and make it easier to put the "ring" on your molars. You usually have these for 2 weeks before you get your actual braces. After the 2 weeks is up, you go back to the orthodontist and get the spacers removed. Your orthodontist will then insert the "rings" onto your back molars. You will get two for top braces and two for the bottom braces. If you are getting full-mouth braces, you will have four total. The "ring" acts as an end point for the wire and sits on your back molars. The orthodontist then precedes to glue the brackets to your teeth. After the glue dries, he/she will insert the wire. Small bands are put on the brackets to hold the wire in place. You might be able to choose the color(s) of the bands depending on the type of braces you are getting. The extra wire is cut off and you are finished!


Why are spacers put on?

they push your teeth apart in the back of your mouth before you get braces on. when you get braces put on, a metal circle thing(i cant think of what its called) wraps around your back teeth, it acts like an anchor. spacers help make room for that. hope this helps The metal thing that goes around your back teeth is called a band
