I just wanna make sure. I had braces before so I went through all the procedures. Molds, x-rays, extractions, all the good stuff. Got them on but I had to take them off 4 mo. later cuz I joined the services. Well I graduated so I can put them back on. Anyway, my ortho/dentist scheduled me for a cleaning Monday. Then he told the clerk to put me in for Wed. too to get brackets put on. What I'm wondering is, do u think he'll put the archwire on too since he has all my records. Or will I have to wait another month? How does this wire thing work? Thanks for reading

My ortho put my archwire in a week after he put my brackets on, but that was because I was getting upper and lower expanders and they had to put bands on my molars. My lower braces won't go on for months.
