Today brackets & Spacers

#1 Post by jose »

Thi morning I got installed my top and botton brackets. They are Gac Self Ligating Type.

It took approx 60 minutes for everything, but the bands and the archwire will go on on Tuesday due the time to allow Spacers to move my molar teeth moved a little to get the bands in.

For the moment nothing bad.

I will update you all next week, when the full hardware is installed and then I will post also pictures.

Thanks to everybody, as this site and all your ocmments push me to start on this adventure with 12 months to go.

Thanks.

WElcome to this awesome board Jose! :-1

Congratulations on starting your braces journey! :thumbsup:

Glad that you don't have any pain so far and hopefully none later!
:pinkbraces: Remember if the brackets are bothering you don't be afraid to use wax! Lip balm is also very helpful!

Good luck with getting the rest of your braces next week!
:dance:

Keep us updated!

Congratulations Joes I get braced on Monday and I need encouragement as much as you. It is going to be hard, but so worth it in the end.
