Metal Mouth Message Board

Hi,
I'm getting four teeth pulled tomorrow..and of course I'm nervous. I would like to know how the orthodontist will put braces when my molars are capped.

Thank you so much for replying to my post. I'm trying to relax about the extractions tomorrow and reading your email helped. This whole experience of needing braces has been very difficult for me to handle. I appreciate your encouragement.

Thank you,
Kymmietoo

kymmietoo, I have a crown and managed to get away with a molar tube (sort of like a bracket for molars) rather than a molar band. Some orthos will use molar tubes if they can get them to adhere.
