Bracesssss???????????

sorry to ask this question for a third time but i went to the orthodontics last Friday and they put the brackets and spacers/speperators. they said since thanksgiving was soon to come back december 1st and they would put the aplliances on… what are those??? will it hurt??? i only have one crooked tooth + a huge overbite and a slight crossbite… will it hurt?????
ERIN SINCE YOU MUST KNOW: i think they put the brackets on because of the way my insurance works. i pay 80$ a month for them and they want to make sure i pay… since your too dumb to figure it out
the brackets are the little specks that hold the wire right?

  • There are a few different appliances. Bands go around the molars next to your wisdom teeth and then the brackets are attached to the front of the rest of the teeth. If they took an impression it could be that you will wear a palate expander that was being made by their lab.
    The seps are uncomfortable at first, but you get used to them. If they fall out that just means there is enough room there to fit the bands they will be putting on. Don’t pull them out though.
    Nothing should hurt when they are putting them on. You’ll be sore for a couple of days afterward though. We always tell our patients to take tylenol or something (but ask your orthodontist) to help with the pain as your teeth begin to move. After a couple of days you shouldn’t be too sore.
    Good luck.
    Work for an orthodontist.
