I have my braces on right now, but my extraction isn't until 2 weeks.
The plan is... in 2 weeks I'm going to my dentist and he's going to remove the wire for me and then send me off to the surgeons that same day. After the surgeons extract 2 premolars on each side, I get sent back to my dentist and he applies the wire back on. Won't that hurt my wound even more? I mean.. the teeth are going to move slowly and hit the wounds. Has any of you ever had wires put back on immediately after extraction? |

No. The amount of time it would take for your teeth to shift is much, much longer than the length it takes for your flesh to heal, unless your gums are huge wusses. Not mine, though.
That would be pretty cool if the end of the wiring grew up into the wound hole and got stuck in your brain. You'd either receive radio waves from space, or die. |
