Metal Mouth Message Board

Can you get your bottom braces put on and rubber bands at the same appointment?

That would depend entirely on your othodontist and treatment plan. They might give you a few weeks to adjust to the bottoms before they add in elastics.

Im sure you could, but they might want to give you time to adjust to having bottom braces or might want teeth to move before starting you on elastics, of course you can ask your Orthodontist and see if they will start you on elastics or think it will be better to wait.

I had my bottoms on a month before elastics.

The short answer is yes.

Living witness here! I got my rubber bands and a powerchain placed on my bottom teeth on the first day.
