How long is it after your first visit to the orthodontist do you get your braces?
I went to the orthodontist today. On the first day I went they did molds and x-rays. At the second visit they will tell you what they need to do to your teeth, such as, orthopedic care or getting braces. Then on your third visit they will give you braces, however this is only if you need braces.
How long do temporary braces stay on for?

Removing teeth before or after putting braces?
Yes you can, you would have to arrange a visit with your orthodontist prior to seeing the dentist to remove the archwire, then after having the extractions done, you will need to go back to your orthodontist to get the archwire placed back in. Ring the orthodontist and talk to the receptionist about when your dentist appointment is and I'm sure they will make avail time for you. It doesn't take very long to replace an archwire. Hope this helps
If you have a little overbite and some crooked teeth on bottom how long would you have to wear braces and how much would they cost?
It really depends on the orthodontist and the type of braces they use. You can get free consultations from pretty much any orthodontist. They will tell you about how long you will need to wear them, you can decide together what type you want and they will let you know how much it will cost. And how much your insurance will cover, if they cover any and if you have insurance.
Is it better to get 4 teeth out or have braces for 2 years?
I would go for the braces. Orthodontists are trained to create better alignment for your teeth, having a positive influence on your health for the rest of your life. Two years of braces goes by faster than you can imagine and may not even take that long if you follow your orthodontist's instructions. If you have to wear headgear, elastics, or other devices, do it without fail. Sometimes you have to have teeth extracted before you can even have the braces put on. The extra space created is the room the orthodontist needs to bring your teeth into alignment (or the crowding could be what is causing the misalignment in the first place.)
How long does it usually take in between the first 3 appointments before you get you braces on?
To be honest, that would be a question that you ask your Orthodontist. Check out this website to find out more about braces: http://www.bracesinfo.com/ And don't worry, I have had braces for 5 years. It doesn't hurt when they are put on OR when taken off. :)
Can people with braces chew sugar-free gum?
Yes, people with braces can chew sugar-free gum as long as they do so in moderation and make sure the gum does not stick to the braces. It's best to consult with your orthodontist for specific recommendations.
What should i expect with my new braces How long will they hurt Im only getting them on my 4 front teeth so i don't know if that will affect how much they hurt Please help!!?
Your teeth will hurt every time you get the braces adjusted or tightened at the orthodontist's office, but ask your orthodontist if there are things you can do beforehand (such as taking a mild pain reliever) to alleviate that discomfort. Outside of that, hang in there, and know that the results are worth it.
Is there a way to get braces cheaply if you really need them but your family cannot afford them?
There are some insurance plans that cover part of the cost of braces. I would consult an orthodontist to get an approximate price as every case is different. Most have payment plans where the entire cost is divided over 20-24 months (which is usually how long you wear the braces).
How long does it take to get a retainer?
It usually takes about a week if it has to be ORDERED by your orthodontist, but can be 24 hours, if it is MADE by your orthodontist.
How long does it take for braces to correct an underbite?
It really depends on how bad your deep bite is. Obviously, the deeper it is (the bigger overbite you have), the longer it'll take to fix. You'd need to contact an orthodontist to know for sure, but usually you'd need braces for about 1 to 3 years.
How long would it take to close a gap between your two front teeth with braces if you have no other tooth problems?
My advice is to consult an Orthodontist. It is possible to get partial braces, or just braces on your upper teeth. I also had a bit of a gap between my 2 front teeth and it only took a few weeks for it to close completely. I wear mine for 20 months however, because of jaw problems. You will have to wear a retainer afterwards otherwise your teeth may go back to their original position. An Orthodontist is someone that will give you Braces if you need them but if you're a sister/brother that needs Braces and you think you do to then smile a lot and and try and make them notice but don't say anything!
