Last year dd was refered to the orthodontist due to possibly needing a brace, we went in Oct and yes she qualifies for a brace and there was an 18 month wait
Anyway got called up last week and as they had a cancellation we went in on Monday saves waiting I suppose!
Got moulds and x rays done, we will go back next week to get fitted with a brace.
Tbh we are completely new to braces, I really should have had one when I was younger but didn't and so Dd can see the benefits of having one.
I'm not entirely sure what brace she's going to get or how long the appointment is, we think she is having a removable brace at first then possibly a fixed one on the bottom teeth before anything on the top. Kind of thought the top ones were more in need of attention but they are the experts.
Also we are off to Alton towers a week after so hoping it's removable or she gets used to it quickly as we both go on all the rides and sometimes get thrown about up there lol!
Any tips or advice at all? Tia
