Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hi , Best of luck to you tomorrow, Don't worry about a thing, remember you will be in the hands of professionals. I don't think you have to worry about being hungry, your nerves will keep you fom being hungry, at least that what happened in my case. Your surgeon will not make any changes to your braces, he will only use them to secure your mouth with wires or bands (in most cases bands) depending on what is best for you. Best wishes, can't wit to hear form you afterwards!
