My dentist needs to separate my back teeth before he fits braces what will this entail?

Q. Dear Andrew I am about to have a brace fitted and my dentist needs to separate my back teet before he fits it. What will this entail? Thanks for your help

A. Your dentist will place very small elastics or tiny springs between the back teeth to open up the gaps in the teeth to help the first part of the brace go one.
