The first step in taking dental braces is visiting an orthodontist. Maybe you ask, ?What usually happens during an initial orthodontic exam??. Only the orthodontist can give you the right answers to your dental questions.
For an orthodontist to identify the specific needs of the patient, he/she must evaluate your mouth completely. The evaluation includes the impression of your teeth and models will be created. These are useful for your orthodontist and will remind you how your teeth exactly looked like before the correction. Images of your face, smile and teeth is also needed. You will also need X-rays of the head and teeth and you must bring with you your present medical/dental health
There are instances wherein a bracket pops off especially on your first few months due to a number of reasons. Always keep in mind that your brackets are just glued on, which means that they can be removed easily later on. Once the glue bond is broken, the bracket will then come off. Call the dental office and set for an appointment for re-gluing if this happens to you. Some dental clinics are asking for extra fee on this. It is normal for the brackets to pop off from time to time. Having the brackets glued is not an easy task and it might take you minutes before it sticks.
What are removable appliances? These are created to move or hold your teeth. Having this adjusted to move the teeth can sometimes make your teeth sore. Wearing the removable appliance as instructed by your orthodontist every appointment is important. Flipping your appliance with the use of your tongue can damage your teeth. There is a tendency that the appliance will be loose or worse, it might break inside your mouth. You don’t want that to happen, right? Another thing, please see to it that you clean your removable appliance daily with a toothpaste and toothbrush. You wouldn’t want a stinky mouth.

We have to admit that having braces can be quite embarrassing and even distracting if you’re discussing a project in front of a lot of people if you have your braces on, right? There is even a big tendency that you eat your words and your saliva can even give your audience a free shower. So what will happen?
