what will happen when i go back?!


Question: What will happen when i go back?
im getting braces on jan.24 and i got 4 spacers on jan.5 i couple of days ago i lost two(they popped out) does this mean that i have enough space? when i go to the orthodontist will they make me wait another two weeks or will they put the spacers back in and i can have my braces as well?

Answers:

First, if your under 18 tell your folks whats up. You need to call your orthodontist office ASAP and let them know what happened. They can probably fit you for new spacers no problem (and probably no cost) today or tomorrow. The space will not be big enough with them being out almost 10 days. Think about it, they planned to remove the spacers at the next visit to make sure your braces they place that day fit properly and they have enough room to work without contact with the neighboring teeth.

you will most likely not have to wait again. If the spacers were pulled out, maybe you will. If they fell out then you will probably have room for the bands to go on those teeth. Either way it won't be scary.

you will be ok.
