I'm getting my braces put on today - What can I expect?

What can I expect - Part II

So you are getting your braces put on today.  You are sitting in the dental chair, you have our cool glasses on to protect your eyes and you have lip retractors placed in your mouth to keep your lips out of the way and you teeth dry - what is next?

The next step is to place the orthodontic brackets (braces) on each tooth.  But first we need to prepare each tooth to make sure the brackets will stick properly. 

Watch the video below to see how easy it is.


After the braces are placed, what is the next step?


So there you have it - the orthodontic brackets have been placed on each tooth.  The process is painless! 

The clinicians here at Dr. Majznerski's office are great at what they do.  They want your experience in our office to be a good one and they will always do their best to make sure you are comfortable.

Watch for my next post - when we discuss placing the orthodontic arch wires : )

  1. If you don’t mind me asking, how many months were you asked to keep the braces on? My sister had hers for 14 months, which is against her expectation of 18 to 19 months. But she took very good care of her braces and teeth that it speeded up the process.
