I'm looking into getting braces, I'm an adult, my mother who was a single parent couldn't afford them, so I"m gonna go ahead and have my teeth straightned, finally.. I'm noticing the answers to the question asked about how long do you have to wait to get braces after the intial appt. Why does it take so long?, why can't they be done with in a week or two? One or two months seems like such a long time.
Answer:
If you're in America, yes, it really does take that long. My first appointment (initial consultation + xrays) was on May 1st and I still haven't gotten my braces on yet. I had to go get my teeth cleaned then spacers put in, bands fitted and impressions made, and I am now waiting for my expander and Herbst appliance to be sent in from Georgia. It would probably be just a month or so if you're only getting braces, though.
American, aren't you ?
I'm from a country where it takes about a week between the time you have your teeth checked and the time they put braces :-)
well i live in england..and here my braces r free and my appointment ws on june 12th and the ortho said im gettin braces on september 21st cuz i need my teeth taken out so it will give tem time to heal and stuff!!and plus they have lots of patients.
