I have an appointment tomorrow with my ortho. He is going to go over my x-ray's and they told me that he was going to put spacers in but he told me that I didn't need spacers. So will he put my braces on? Anyone else not had to have spacers and your ortho put your braces on instead? Just wondering. I hope he puts my braces on so I will be that much closer to getting them off!!! Sounds stupid but trying to look at it in a positive way. If he doesn't put them on then I have to go back on Jan. 23 to get them. Just thought that I would keep ya'll up to date.

The day I thought I was getting spacers, I got my braces. I was very excited, hope the same happens to you! Good luck tomorrow.

I didn't get spacers either so my first appoitment (basically) after pictures etc was brace day.

Thanks everyone. I'm really nervous...I don't really know why. I work with teeth everyday. I know it will be ok. Thanks again.

I didn't need spacers either. I have brackets all the way on the second molars both top and bottom.
Your results may vary.

Congrats on starting your journey. You usually only get spacers if you're going to need molar bands. My molars weren't banded until 4 months after my upper braces were put on so I didn't get spacers at first.

Well my appointment went well today! I did have to get 1 spacer on the right top, so I go back Jan. 23 to get top brces on and I don't know when I will get the bottom on sometime in my treatment. My spacer hasn't hurt so far....Thank God!!! I already had a space because I had a tooth extracted when I was a teen but it has closed up some. So I still have another 2 weeks before I get my braces....I can't wait to get this over with!!!
