Regarding braces
My orthodontist did not put metal rings around my molars or any bracket attached to them . Now my lower jaw(from premolars) is slightly moving towards right side. Should I consider different orthodontist?

Hi
The metal ring (molar band) is not necessary for all cases...It depends on your kind of orthodontic treatment..
Next Steps
Kindly consult with your orthodontist who treated you

Molar bands must not be nessecary in your treatment now. Ask your orthodontist about the issues and be relaxed.
