how many debanding appointments?

#1 Post by Scott19 »

So i am nearing the end of my braces, and my ortho told me that at my next appointment he would start debanding my braces.

Now my question is, he told me my target end date for my braces to be off was in april.. My next debanding date is in march. Do orthodontists sometimes like to take off certain brackets first before taking them all off?

Scott,

I have seen a few people on here who got one arch off before the other.

The usual is to have them all debonded at the same time.

Let us know how it goes.
