My advice is ask around for a good orthodontist.
i got an okay but not great ortho and i think he did a mistake on my teeth.
he did'nt want to remove any of my teeth prior to installing in my braces because he said it was a new method. i had too much teeth in my lower jaw that stuffed up my teeth in the first place. now my teeth are in order but i have to get oral surgery done because to make room for all my teeth my lower jaw is now longer than my upper jaw. That's more pain for me so i just wanna say ask the ortho about oral surgery and if you will need it after the braces come off if you don't want to remove any teeth.

first appointment for inspection etc. + installation of braces can be on the same day. yes, Damon 3 and InOvation C treatments are self-ligating.

It also depend if the appt and time allow. Btw, the doctor are called Orthodontist not dentist. Dentist are ur normal dental doctor where else i believe orthodontist has higher qualification and are allow to do braces for you.

Last night one of my white blocker has just drop off. Do I need to head back to top it up straight away or just wait my next appointment?? Cause my next appointment will be on june.
