Braces and orthodontist visit?

I am going to my first orthodontist appointment on tuesday the 18th. I am wondering what they do at the first appointment and how long after that I will get braces. Please respond thanks.





Ps. what color braces should i get, blue or pink? if blue is every blue the same because some blue braces look icy and I like the icy ones. thanks.

Braces and orthodontist visit?
On ur first visit the dr. will talk to you.. and take a look at your teeth. Tell you what you will actually need. He may suggest something other than braces, like a retainer or Invisalign


The second visit, he will take impressions of your teeth. and x-rays to prepare for your treatment. Insurance issues will be dealth with usually around this time... if not before.


The third (usually) appointment you will get your braces/retainer or whatever it is you need.


The length of time it takes between appointments just depends on how busy the dental office is that you are going to.








Alot of patients prefer clear braces. But the colour is totally up to you.. the elastics will be chaned every couple weeks. so you can try out as many colours as you like. Pink and blue.





I hope this helps you.

Reply:Pretty sure that he will take a mold of your teeth the first time.
Reply:The first appt is usually a consultation - they may not do anything but discuss what their plan is. They might combine that visit and take an impression of your mouth so they know how to treat your situation.
Reply:if you will be getting braces, maybe they will talk to you and take mold impressions of your teeth. the dr. will do his stuff after you leave in order to get the braces that fit the best. you might need to get teeth pulled out. get spacers.


for color braces. u might get the normal single color bands and/or the power chain ones.. the power chain ones give pressure to the teeth in order they move in.


hopefully, a dentist will stop by to read this question and write professional information.
Reply:the first consultation is just talkin about what there going to do and taking imprint of your teeth which sucks when they pull them out of your mouth then after that you should schedual anouther appointment to have them put on! You should get blue but diffrent orthodonist have different colors then what you see on other people unless they go to the place you go! Good Luck!
Reply:hi. i have braces and at the first appt. it is a consultaion. next appt. is the records visit. where you get all the x rays done and the molds of your teeth. they also did my braces that very same day. it took a while to put them on. god what a difference they make though. you will be amazed at how great you teeth will look! good luck :)
Reply:metalic blue looks good
Reply:my daughter got braces 2 weeks ago and when she went at first they just checked over her teeth and when they finally decided she needed braces, she went back and they put them on. She has two colors, blue, which is a light ice blue, and purple. She had them alternate the colors.
Reply:the first appointment they let you know what your problem is because your dentist shouldve sent them the xrays. they may take a mold of your teeth with like this puddy that leaves a weird taste. they may also take an xray themselves. i like the blues better because i guess cuz im a guy.
Reply:the icy blue is probably like the light blue. it looks icy! and good. i have braces right now. dont worry about anything. its fine. and silver is the best color! i know its plain but it looks good. or teal, which i have right now. also you can ask them to give you rainbow or 2 or 3 different colors.


usually the length of time that most people have braces are around 1- 4 years. but most of time it is around 1 or 2 years that a person has them on. you should ask them at your orthodontist office about braces and how long, what for, etc. you have them. But when you get them, they will probably tell you all the information.


At the first appointment, they will probably just give you your braces, and it shouldnt hurt too much. Don't be scared. They make your teeth look pretty afterward! =)


Good Luck!
Reply:mine took 2 hours. get blue
Reply:it depends.


when i went the first time,


they said i needed to lose more teeth,


so then i came back in three months,


then they made molds and all that stuff,


and they put the braces on THAT DAY,


but sometimes there can be up to three appointments before they actually put the braces on.











and i love the colors pick and orange together,


:]





but you can look here to see what colors look good together.
