Question

i got spacers in the other day but i'm not sure how many she put in. there are 3 on the bottom and 4 on top and im not sure if i was meant to have 4 on the bottom as well please help!! i dont want to go into melbourne in the next couple of days to get braces and find out i have to wait another week coz one of them fell out... does it matter if one falls out?????

Answer 1

I worry too much about details at the orthodontist. But I fight to trust them because they studied to get the degree for years and they do know what they're doing. Depending on how your teeth are and what you need done, you may need more or less. When I got my spacers I had 2 on top and 2 on bottom. My braces have a weird spring thing on the top left side only. So what you get really depends on what you need.

I don't think it's a HUGE deal if one falls, but I think you should call just in case.

Good luck. Hope I helped :)
