What do they do on the first trip to the orthodontists?
Absolutely! Do not worry at all! It is wonderful, there is no pain on this trip to the dentist, they will sit you in a chair and put a mold into your mouth for about 30 seconds, this will make a model of your teeth which they can identify the problem and resolve what braces you need. No pain at all!





When they actually do put the braces on, do not worry. Your teeth will hurt a bit for the next week, and you won't be able to eat solids. (Your teeth may also feel loose but don't worry this is normal.) After this week your teeth will feel good as new and you will be able to eat once more! When you feel this pain take some Tylenol or Asprin and just think, when this is done my teeth will be so much better. Hope this helped! Don't Worry! ☺

Reply:when i first went there they took pictures of your teeth, and a full head shot of u smiling lol, x-rays..and they determined where ur braces should be and which kind u want such as metal or the clear ones..then they schedule u for your next appointment which is when u get ur braces..or whatever your there for..@ least thats wut happened when i went..dont be nervous! you will have a beautiful smile!
Reply:they listen to patient concerns, provide an orthodontic examination, indicate whether or not treatment is needed %26amp; when the best time to start treatment is, gather orthodontic records, discuss fees, also they take pictures of ur teeth using a cheek expander that goes on ur lips to make ur cheeks go out as far as they'll go w/o breaking..... it hurts
Reply:Heres better advice than I have no idea... Calm down, take 2 deep breathes. Imagine your favorite place...mines a waterfall in a tropical place. Now let the orthodontist do his job. verbalize any anxieties you have with the staff there so they can help you through it. many have numbing medicine for you gums before they do any evasive procedures. most likely they will fit you for braces or a retainer for a beautiful smile. relax, there is nothing to worry about. Good luck.
