when you get brackets on they use a mouth retractor that keeps our mouh open but you bite down on it.its not to bad but wear chapstick. when the wires are put it, you open your mouh for about two minutes its quick and easy.it will be sore later though if its your first wires. and as far as he gap goes it could take a couple months or 6 monhs.you should see it start to move in the next couple of weeks.
