There are five main steps in placing full braces:
1) Separation of the first molars 7 to 14 days prior to the
banding (braces) appointment.
2) Removal of the separators and fitting bands on the first
molars.
3) Preparing the other teeth and placing the direct bonded
brackets.
4) Cementing the bands and cleaning up the excess.
5) Placement of the initial archwires.
At the
end of treatment the patient is required to wear retainers. The retainer page
follows these steps.
Begin the viewing the process by choosing the [Separation] button below and choose
