I have 4 bands, one on each molar on the the top. I'll have 4 more bands when I get my bottom braces on each molar there and I had all my wisdom teeth removed 4 years ago so I know where you're coming from WhiteLurcher! I'm completely wired on top and will be on bottom!

I have 8 molar bands - 1 on each of the molars farthest back on each side on top, and 1 on each of the 3 farthest back, each side, on the bottom. My bottom teeth were much more crowded... I wonder if that's why I have so many more on the bottom? I keep meaning to ask my ortho about the set up, but I keep forgetting.
