On the day you begin your treatment, you will be greeted by one of our highly trained orthodontic assistants. The assistant will explain what we will be doing for that day and begin any preliminary procedures to get your teeth ready for braces. Dr. Gallois will put your braces on. Depending on what type of braces you are getting, your appointment may last as long as two hours. During this time, you will also learn how to take care of your teeth and new braces. Later in the day, your teeth may feel a little uncomfortable as they begin the process of moving. This is totally normal and may last for a few days. It is recommended that you take Tylenol or Advil to alleviate any discomfort you may have.
