Open wide! Mouth is prepped so they can work on drying each tooth and applying the glue. The tube leads to a sucking device which removes his saliva.
Applying the glue.
The bottom brackets were placed in a tray made from the impressions taken the week prior. The technician prepped his teeth and then put the tray on and then sealed the brackets to his teeth. The top ones followed, and then a very thin wire.
Top 10 and bottom 10 teeth now have brackets. Next month he gets spacers and a week later he will get the new
herpst appliance. Much smaller than the one Ian had to wear!
