Why without alcohol? Mine does have alcohol. Is it bad?

Welcome!! I'm also from Indiana. Hope everything goes well with your braces journey

Hey thats great! I go to the IUSD aswell! Im 16 years old. I started the process on September 28th, went to the screening appointment. Then set up the records appointment for October 18th, Followed the contract signing on November 10th thats when I got the 8! spacers applied! Lol those things are rather painful! Then last Friday November the 18th I got the four bands placed. Im rather excited because I get my braces put on the Wednesday the 23rd!

I hope your surgery went well. I think that the school is a great place to get orthodontic treatment, everyone is so nice! I have Dr.Wyatt and he is a very nice doctor. I hope all is well! Nice to talk to someone else that goes to the IUSD!!
