Does it really take a month or two to get braces on after ortho appt?
Answer:
If you're in America, yes, it really does take that long. My first appointment (initial consultation + xrays) was on May 1st and I still haven't gotten my braces on yet. I had to go get my teeth cleaned then spacers put in, bands fitted and impressions made, and I am now waiting for my expander and Herbst appliance to be sent in from Georgia. It would probably be just a month or so if you're only getting braces, though.
American, aren't you ?
I'm from a country where it takes about a week between the time you have your teeth checked and the time they put braces :-)
well i live in england..and here my braces r free and my appointment ws on june 12th and the ortho said im gettin braces on september 21st cuz i need my teeth taken out so it will give tem time to heal and stuff!!and plus they have lots of patients.
