I have them top and bottom but the back two teeth/molars on the top and bottom are not braced in any way.
Is this normal?
I am missing as tooth on the top in the back like the third one from the rear maybe this is why???

It could be normal, or they may be bracketed later on in treatment.

All my uppers bar one were bracketed from day one and have stayed that way. Most of my lowers were bracketed initially, and the last of the second molars added at my first lower adjustment.

Enjoy the ability to floss normally, I say.

my 6 yr old molars have bands, my 12 yr old do not have anything at all.

Mine are all bracketed/banded but this didn't happen till about the 3rd adjustment. Sometimes they leave the 2nd and 3rd molars alone if they are not too badly aligned, because they are not normally visible anyway.

All but one of my teeth are bracketed. On my upper right side, the molar next to the band isn;t bracketed. My ortho said she needed to leave that one off, and she put a bend in the wire at that point (why I don't know). She said eventually she'll bracket it, but she needs to move my teeth over to fill a gap to help fix my midline.

My two top canines are bracketed, but not attached to the archwire. They are severely rotated (90 degrees) and one of them is up really high and dosn't fit into the arch at all. she said they'll be attached to the archwire once my other teeth start to line.

All teeth are involved someway somehow except for one tooth!

Hmmm,a lot have one tooth not bracketed. I'm guessing mine has omething to do with the missing tooth. I will ask next appointment.

I've got brackets on all teeth (except for my wisdom teeth which will come out when this is all done). Currently (7 weeks into treatment), the wire only goes to the #6 tooth. The last one (#7) on each side won't be attached to the wire until later in treatment - she mentioned when I get to the .019x.025 wire.

My back teeth are not banded/bracketed either.

Brace day - uppers bracketed to the first molar
1st. adjustment - added second molar
2nd. adjustment - lowers bicuspid to bicuspid
next adj - will get the last four lowers
It has been a nice way to ease into it, but that wasn't the reason it was done that way. Each case and each ortho is different, but they all get the job done.

hi kat i also have the same thing happend to me on the top i have my 2 wisdom & my 2 wisdom teeth on the bottom with nothing i often wonder like u if this was normal i will ask my ortho the reason of this on my next adjustment

My two (one on each side, I mean) back teeth on the top row have nothing on them.

I currently have only five brackets and nothing else. I started less than a year ago and have about two plus years left.
