Answers:

First you brush your teeth really well cause you wont get under the brace for a long time. you take an xray and make molds of your mouth then for the actual procedure you sit down. They will put this guard on your mouth to keep it open and your tounge away fm your teeth. They will put a mouthguard (it is the brackets on cement in the shape of the mold) on your teth. Then they put this badtasting gel over your gums and teeth and then They take a laser (that looks like a hairdryer with blue light coming out of it) and put it over the brackets to dry the cement and brackets while on your teeth. They will take the extra cement off and put a wire connetcting the brackets. They will then add some rubberbands in the color of your choice over the wire to connect them. They will give you a kit with everything you need and they will tell you what you need to know. Dont worry about it. It wont hurt during the process but your mouth will b sore for 3 days MAXIUMUM afterwards. It will go away. Every appt after that the pain will last for all of 3 hrs. I have had braces twice (3rd grade and now in 7th) and i am getting them off tomarrow. They usually dont numb your mouth unless they are taking excess gum tissue from your mouth. It doesnt hurt during hte procedure. Have fun and ask if you can watch it with the mirror. (its more fun that way and you can c what they are doing). Its boring cause its so long. but its fun!!!
