Question:

How often are brackets changed out at the orthodontist?

Do they change them out every time you go in or never? My friends can change there colors every time they go in, will I be able to with the metal brackets I have in now or are metal brackets like one of the colors you can get? Sorry about the questions, I'm just a little confused here.Thanks, John

Answer:

No, the metal brackets that are on your teeth now will be the same ones that will be on your teeth until you have the braces off. The wire is sort of threaded through the brackets, and on top of that on each bracket the colours are put on. They're there to make sure the wire doesn't go out of place. But don't worry, this doesn't mean the brackets go mouldy or anything :P
