what is the procedure of getting braces?!


Question: What is the procedure of getting braces?
I already got a mold (and had x-rays) for them to send to my medicade. Now i'm just waiting. Any idea how long it will take for them to approve it? Please be specific. And then after it's approved tell me the steps. I heard you have to get (if necessary) a tooth or more pulled out, then a week later you do this. PLEASE BE SPECIFIC. thanks!

I have braces and after I got the mold I waited a few mouths and then I went in a they put a thing on my mouth to keep it open while they put the glue on and braces and wires ( if you Google pics it really doesn't feel as bad as it looks). It hurts for a while after from the wires pulling but they loosen up. And about getting teeth pulled, yes if your mouth is too crowded then they will probably have to pull some teeth, I had to have 8 pulled, 4 regular and my 2 wisdom teeth, but now the gaps are gone and I'm just waiting for all the teeth to be completely straight. I don't know how long it will take for you, it depends on how your teeth are and what kind of braces you have but usually 1-3 years, for me its 2 but i have "speed braces"
