How do theyput braces?

Answer 1

if you are getting metal braces: you have to get molds and pictures of you mouth first, and then you lie down on one of those like dentist chairs and they take these plastic restrictor things that hold your lips out so they don't get in the way of your braces and you also get a plastic tounge restrictor thing that makes sure your tonge doesn't get in the way either. Next, the orthodontist applies some glue to your teeth and then rinses it out, then puts each bracket on. You may feel alittle pressure but overall it doesnt hurt. After all brackets are on, you get to wrinse your mouth, then pick a color for the elastic bands you will get to hold the wire in place on the brackets. The wire then gets fitted to your mouth and the elastics go on in less than a minuet. Your teeth might feel tight after and pressurized because of the teeth shifting but not ammediatley. Also, the wire might cause sores to your mouth because it is making your cheecks raw so just apply wax to it. good luck!:) hope this helps!
