Thanks for the responses, trust me...it's putting me at ease!
I have another question though. When you got your teeth removed how long did you have to wait to get the braces put on? That's another thing that's worrying me, but I haven't been told yet so would like to get some input again if you can help. Thanks
I need to think way back--it's been more then two years--but I think I got my braces about one to two weeks after the extractions. I seem to remember this being my own personal preference; I wanted to give myself a few weeks to recuperate. I've read that people have gotten their braces the day of extractions or the next day, so I think the timing is relative.
