Upper jaw wired up

So after I got my overly staying baby tooth removed from my upper jaw and then after getting the brackets for the upper jaw, it was time to wire up the teeth of the upper jaw.

Got brackets on upper jaw - unwired

So, two days ago, I got my third (and hopefully the last) extraction done from my upper jaw. Now it was time to put my braces on the upper jaw. First up, only the brackets were placed on the upper jaw. They use a bonding glue to put up these brackets on the front line of teeth.

The lower line looks different because the arch wires on the lower jaw were replaced in the middle.

The arch wires would be pulled across the upper line on a later visit. For now, i needed to give a measurement of my lower jaw for bite plates to be made of my size.

Got my braces - wired

Finally the braces have been put up on my lower jaw as part of my orthodontics treatment. We couldn't put the braces for the upper jaw as of yet since my baby tooth needs to be taken care of first on the upper jaw.

Hence, here goes the photo shoot.

The brackets (or braces) were glued to the teeth first with a special kind of sticky solution. The wires were then pulled across the jaw over the brackets. Only the lower jaw has been done now. Upper jaw shall be done after the extraction of my milk tooth inshAllah.
