I'm sort of confused about getting braces?!
Question: I'm sort of confused about getting braces.?
Okay, so last time I was at the ortho we basically just talked about having them and signed a bunch of papers.. I was told I would need a palette expander......but I was just wondering, does that thing go on at the same time as your braces.? Or do you have the expander for a while and then have the braces put on.? If the last one is true, since I am going to have them for nearly two and a half years, does that include the time with the expander or just when i get my braces.?

It depends......I had my palette expander before the braces, but my friend Amber had them at the same time......so it really differs......Health Question & Answer
No, you get the expander first.. Then if you aren't ready for braces yet you get a retainer.. Then you get braces..Health Question & Answer
