Metal Mouth Message Board

So I was wondering what my ortho told me the other day..
Starting next month I was told they would be starting to fix my over bite which will be taking 8-9 months to fix..

Now to be honest as I was being told what they would be doing to my mouth.. all I kept thinking was "this sounds like it could be painful"

She said something about some wire? maybe.. with loops of some sort and a 90 degree angle?? And that it would be pulling my top 6 front teeth back to fill in the gaps where they pulled out my teeth..

Can anybody fill me in on whats going on?
