    My son went in for a consult and it was about 2 weeks after...you make the appointment, just like the dentist so it's pretty much up to you. Good luck.

    You'll go for your consult and then it will be between 2-4 weeks before you get them on. You have the consult and work out a financial plan...etc. Then on some occasions you MAY need spacers which will require you to wait even longer before getting the braces actually PUT on.

    Source(s): I have braces right now! they come off in Jan 08! i had my consult in Dec 05 and got them on in Jan 06!! i had to wear spacers to add space to my back molars...so i got those and wore them for 2 weeks PRIOR to getting the braces on :) good luck!
  • It depends. They might put in spacers which separate your teeth so the braces will fit in. You'll have to wear the spacers for about maybe 2 weeks a month at the most. I think they would put the braces on when you get your spacers out.

    After the consult ususally in a week or two. I'm pretty sure it's that soon.

    There isn't a standard answer...my son had to have five teeth pulled and then wait six months before we started...a quality orthodontist won't rush you into braces.

    Usually a month.

    Because you also need to take over consultations for your molds of your teeth and/or your spacers put it.
