Probably chrome slim needle nose pliers, tweezers, glue, wires etc.
These are my best guesses, my children both had braces, but Parents aren't usually next to the kids while it is being done.
Good luck. Take an aspirin before you go to help with any discomfort.
I guarantee the end result is worth the trouble. My adult kids have beautiful teeth. My son who had 6 years of major work done came out amazing. He actually had teeth develop sideways up in the gums and they were able to coax them down in line just like they grew there.

Well first they put on metal rings around your 4 back teeth (this really hurts because it feels like they're going into your gums) and they concrete them in with this disgusting tasting junk. Then they clean your teeth really well with this other nasty junk, and then they apply the metal things onto each of your teeth, they put in a wire then put the rubber bands on. Dont' be surprised if one or 2 of your metal pieces pops off (it happened 2 me within the first hour) they just reapply it. After they put the wire in they clip off the back part where it feels its sticking you. You will probably have a whole bunch of sores, but ask for wax to put on.
The first couple of times you get your rubber bands changed it hurts when they remove them, and when they reapply new ones.
Good luck! lol :P

Braces are exceptionally lots the comparable for each individual. What they do is placed brackets on your tooth and then they placed different varieties of twine on them reckoning on what your tooth desire. the definitely putting on of the braces does not harm yet after some hours your mouth turns into fairly sore. For the 1st few days that's exceptionally painful yet no longer something all that poor. interior some week you get used to them and you cant fairly tell that they are even there. do no longer difficulty you are going to adore it while they arrive of and you get to work out your new beautiful smile. sturdy luck!

When they apply your braces, they'll put the anchor braces on your back teeth - they're bands that completely surround the teeth. Then they'll glue square brackets on every other tooth and string a wire through them. The wire is held on by rubber bands that you can get in a variety of colors.
