WEll, I had my consultation and my ortho decided to put top braces on and spacers the same day! HE decided I was such a complicated case that we needed to get started right away! IT was pretty sudden but he made it seem so urgent so I went along with it!
I had my consult with the ortho on Sept. 2005, 4 teeth were pulled on Oct. 13, spacers were put in Oct. 24, bands/impressions made on Nov. 7, and top braces and TPA device put on NOv. 14. Bottom braces followed 3 months later in Feb.
