@yajunnn4004 the appointment usually takes about an hour cuz they have to position every bracket but it depends on how they put them on but your cheeks will be sore from the cheek retractor and holding your mouth open. They put the molar bands on first and the glue they use is really sour and gross and they push it all the way to the bottom of your tooth which can hurt a little bit if it hits your gums (which happened to me). I recommend taking ibuprofen or Tylenol after the appointment so it's easier to get used to the soreness and you'll be able to eat better. It's more of a weird tight feeling the first day but FYI the second day is usually the most painful I've had them for a month now and only a few teeth or one tooth gets sensitive every once in a while when they change the wire. Oh and please take very good care of your teeth when you have braces on because it's really easy to get cavities in between your teeth.

@VanessaRodrigo311-nw8ye4 ай бұрын
Based from what I got at kriss ai, using a dental drill to polish the surface of teeth is a common practice in orthodontics and general dentistry. This procedure is typically done to smooth out the teeth, remove stains, or prepare the teeth for bonding brackets or other orthodontic appliances. When performed correctly by a trained professional, it should not damage the teeth. So, maybe there was something wrong with your dentist...?

I think my dentist put my front tooth braket wrong. The maxillary central twin braket is not parallel to the tooth and my tooth was parallel before i had braces, now its slanted like "\". I noticed the crooket braket the first day I got my braces but didn't say anything because I just trusted the Dr. But now 6 month later my teeth are straighter but the front tooth looks weird and the one next to it "lateral braket with ball hook" tooth hasn't straighten out either. It looks like it cant figure out how to fit itself even though that's where it goes. I have my 6 appointment next week and Dr said they where going to shave my teeth so they look better but now idk if I want them to. Do you have any advice on what I can exactly ask my Dr.? My worry is the Dr ignoring my concern and saying it's fine and shaving my teeth wrong. 😭😭
