That would need: Some investigation on your part to see if there are any programs available, what the guidelines are and if you would qualify. Sorry i can't be of more help. All the best.

By whom?: I have never heard of free orthodontic care. While many agencies and dentists contribute their time and supplies to people in need all over the world, it is usually for basic needs to indigent people. Orthodontics, while important and beneficial, is not considered a basic dental need.

I've had braces for 12 months, I had an expander for 6 months (its gone now), I have a powerchain (only on top teeth), no gaps between any teeth, and have had bands for 2 months. My bite looks really good. When will my braces most likely be off? Thx?

A member asked:
I know that rubber bands are used to perfect the bite in the teeth,I was wondering that when braces are removed, is it normal for the bite to not look as tight after a few weeks? Because now theres no more force of the bands, so the bite loosens up?
