At the end of my braces treatment. What happens now?!


Question: At the end of my braces treatment. What happens now?
Alright I'm 24 and have had my braces on for a little over 2 years. I'm only waiting for 2 teeth to move a little. One on the top and one on the bottom. My orthodontist said something about a finishing wire on the top next time. But he seems to disappear soon after he checks out my mouth and lets his assistants finish their work on my teeth. So I'll just ask the masses. Why is a finishing wire different than a regular wire? How do they fit a retainer? I know that the retainer is going to be the clear plastic invisalyn type retainer. I just want to know what happens toward the end of treatment. Any info is appreciated.

Answers:

okay its just something that will tweak the teeth a bit so they move into place, its not as painful as braces and its like a retainer thats always on.
and at the end of the treatment hes going to take your braces off, its gonna feel like your teeth are falling off and your gonna freak a bit buts its better than having the braces o, but its gonna be relieving lol.

now there are two types of retainers, night retainer and day, the day is the clear Invisalign like, but its not. Invisalign is stronger and more secure than a retainer, just like braces but for less critical teeth.but the night retainer is one you have to wear every single night until he tells you to not wear it.
he will also file your teeth alittle and that will make the tops sharp so be carefull for a few weeks when your teeth are near your tongue.

g'luck and congrats :)



They will take off brackets and scrape off the glue it doesn't hurt. And after that they'll take a metal thing with little holes put some kind of stuff and about a minute and a half later they'll take it out and tell you to come back in a couple hours.
