Metal Mouth Message Board

I have a gap between the two front teeth and a small overbite and small overjet. I have had braces since June and my estimated time is 31 months.

Sometimes I use Colgate Total mouthwash and other times I just use saltwater. Also, sometimes I put the mouthwash or saltwater in my waterpik and use it that way.

My band on my right side is scraping against my top tooth and I feel like i can move the band up and on my molar.

It was very easy. I only have one band on though because I din't have enough space on the left side. My colors are blue and pink and the assistant put them on in different patterns.

I finally get my bottom braces on. I have had my top braces on since June.

I got spacers on the 24th, now 4 days later my gums on the right side is swollen around the 2nd molar. I just have 4 spacers on the bottom teeth around my 1st and 2nd molar. I already have my top braces. I get my bottom braces on October 7, 2016. Is there any suggestions for the swelling?

Can you get your bottom braces put on and rubber bands at the same appointment?

The first appointment was a consultation. The second appointment I got my molds did and top braces put on. Now I have my first appointment after getting braces on so what is supposed to happen at this appointment.
