WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS FIND A DENTIST AND GET A FULL CHECK UP AND X-RAYS. IF THERE ARE CAVITIES, ETC YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS FIRST. THEN YOU CAN HAVE YOUR DENTIST RECOMMED AN ORTHO FOR YOU, OR YOU TELL HIM THAT YOU WANT TO SEE THIS ORTHO AND HE WILL HELP YOU WITH GETTING YOUR RECORDS SENT TO THE ORTHO
GOOD LUCK! I'M 25 AND AM JUST ABOUT TO GET MY BRACES OFF AND IT WAS REALLY!!! WORTH IT!!
I think you can. I think you have to get some tests done to see if you can get them done for free or if you have to pay.
You go to a dentist first, and make sure you don't have cavities. Get the cavities fixed, and then go to the orthodontist. I'm very excited for you, because you're going to show the world the real smile inside of you!

I would imagine your mother would take care of the things prior to beginning braces, such as setting up appointments for getting a mold for reference, gluing on the brackets, etc.
I would recommend you begin by getting your teeth cleaned. Once you have brackets and a metal wire covering your teeth, it's harder to clean certain areas.
sure
tell me what does it take too be a top contributor
