Answers:
first you need to go to the orthodontist so they can see what you need then you get the x-rays at the orthodontists office for they make a mold of your teeth at that visit.after the mold of your teeth comes back from where they ship it to they you might need spacers or an expander or what ever they choose.then they might take those out and put bands on your back teeth and take another mold.(depends) and then you get braces. it should take longer then a month and also how close you set up the visits. together. hope this helps hockeyrebel777

Spacers are worn 24-48 hours before treatment. You might need to where an expander or something else before braces like me considering how your mouth is.

You need consultations first, and it can be pretty annoying but worth while I guess.

You get xrays AT the orthodontist's office so they don't have to mail them anywhere.. and you probably won't have them until after school starts.

idk i have never had braces
