Braces, what happens?

first they have you lick your lips then they put this plastic thing in your mouth to help your keep your mouth open. it has plastic strip in it that i personally use to hide my tongue behind because i hate dentist touching my tongue also :P. then they put a cement on your teeth ( sounds weird but trust me you can't even tell what their doing) then they put little brackets where the cement is again trust me you barely feel it. then they take this purple light ( it's super cool looking) and shine it onto the bracets and let the cement dry. then they have to take these metal bands that they stick on you very last back tooth on each side of your mouth. they just fit it around the tooth and have you bite down. then they run a wire threw the bracets and attach it to the band in the back then they put little rubber bands into the bracets. fun part: you get to pick the colors :) then they take out the plastic thing that holds your mouth open and they have you brush your teeth. all throughout sticking the braces on they will be rinsing and drying and rinsing and drying with that thing that blows out water and that thing that blows air/ sucks water. good luck and don't worry braces aren't as big a deal as they may sound. p.s. if you get yellow rubber bands your teeth look dirty and black rubber bands look like cavities and white rubber bands change color when you eat. and don't worry your tongue should be safe :P good luck hope this helps.
