How long after sarpe surgery did you get braces?
Just curious I'm 3 weeks into expanding and was wondering how long after sarpe surgery do you get braces?

Hello .
guess I am too late replying and probably you have already the braces on
I had my braces ( the upper ones ) 3 weeks after I stopped expansion .
( 1,5 month after the operation ) .
Its a good timing as its about the time that all stitches have already fall and the swollen its gone , so your mouth is not so sensitive anymore .
Because after the braces , we need even more better cleaning and you need to be able to move the lips more to clean .
