What is the process of getting the braces on?

0

Generally, getting fitted with braces involves two appointments. The first appointment is short (15 minutes) and involves the placement of separators or spacers between the back molars. These spacers create a small amount of room between teeth so that bands that encircle the teeth can be placed. The following week a longer appointment is needed, from 45 minutes to 90 minutes, to place the braces. The actual process of placing the braces involves little discomfort. The teeth are polished, and their surfaces conditioned prior to placement of the braces.
