Waited to bracket last 4?
I got braces in December 2010. The other day, the ortho finally bracketed my 4 back teeth. My cheeks are so sore/torn up/swollen I can barely eat. Is it normal for them to wait so long to bracket those last 4? And how long does it take to stop hurting? Thanks!
24 y/o, 1st timer, ceramic top 6, metal everywhere else
Estimated: 28 months

Are you talking about the 4 molars or your wisdom teeth?
I had my wisdom teeth bracketed at month 9.

I am having my 4 back molars bracketed in a week which will be almost 10 months since I got braced. I have two wisdom teeth on the right side but not sure he is going to bracket them. Sounds like the time line is similar for us.
