So turns out i had to have 8 separaters its not to bad. Set to get partial braces on 2/8!!

so update: I have to have spacers. I get those Feb 1st and i get my actual braces on the 8th

[quote="kingy"]Nope, I got my braces without them too :D But then my ortho told me we'd skip that stage, so I knew what was going on etc. I don't have brackets on my very back molars either....[/quote]


Do you have full or partial braces?

[quote="Ashybear"]I've never had spacers :) they just chucked my braces right on :)[/quote]

Do you have full braces? I was just wondering because i am getting partial braces upper and lower on 6 teeth only and he never said anything about spacers

I had my cleaning done on thursday in preparation for my braces. My gums are extra sour. Now it's making me nervous to get my braces.

I hope not! But if i do i will definitely post.

Never mind that is ehat he is doing. Because the reason i have a gap between my 2 front teeth is because my top teeth a slightly smaller than my bottom teeth. So he said that he would make bottom teeth match my top teeth by shaving them. But he never said anything about having to have spacers

[quote="Meinir7"]Hello, welcome to the forum. They might use enamel reproximation for that. I do not know for sure. You will probably have a bite turbo though.[/quote]
Even if im just closing the gap between my front teeth?

Hello I am 33 and just starting my braces journey. I am a little anxious. I am getting partial braces on the first 6 teeth upper and lower. Just wondering what to expect as far as will i need spacers or not. And if anyone has any pictures of their partial braces i would love to see them.. Thanks Ali...
