What is the process of involved in getting braces put on?

1st Braces Appt: Orthodontists differ in their application of putting braces on. In our office we put both the upper and lower arches on all at the same time. The appointment takes 1 1/2 hours. It is not a difficult procedure; your mouth will be open with a guard to protect against your saliva from getting the area wet. The wire is put in the same day. We use damon system braces.

Simple procedures: The teeth are prepared to permit the application of braces with composite adhesives. This involves cleaning the teeth and preparing the surface of the tooth so that the adhesive will "stick." braces are then put into position and the adhesive "cures" or sets, often using a bright light unit. Then wires are placed and fixed to position. Viola! not too difficult.
