Will the surface of my teeth be damaged because of the glued brackets?

No! The dental enamel will be roughen with special acid so that glue and brackets will properly stick to the tooth. However, the roughen dental enamel is not visible and after the brackets have been glued to your teeth, you will not feel any rough spots. After the removal of your brace, your teeth will be treated and sealed with flouride.
