Preparing to get Braces:
“Sooner is better; I did not realize how long both the herbst appliance and the braces would take to actually make a difference.”
“Luckily I was still under my parents funding when I had these procedures done but it is expensive so I would recommend researching your options.”
“Ask your doctor any questions and keep asking a question — in different ways — until you understand the answer.”
After Getting Braces:
“Report any pain or discomfort to the doctor.”
