I asked another question, asking if it is true that you get white/brown spots on ur teeth if you don't brush when you have braces, and the answer was that the color around your teeth change.
So, if you whiten your teeth, will it go back to normal? Because I am getting my braces off soon and I wanna know if I can fix it if that happens.
Teeth/Braces Question?
Well I think that the discoloration is from the glue they use to stick on the brackets.
I have some spots that are a little darker than the rest of my teeth. Most of the spots did wear away after a few good brushing and cleanings.
I do have one or 2 teeth that still have it but it is not noticeable unless you really stare at my teeth.
Reply:Yep :)
Reply:your teeth will eventually all be the same, itll just take time, just brush your teeth really well, 2 times a day
Reply:Well I think if it does happen....which it probably won't, I'm sure you were brushing fine!...but if it does and you whiten I would think that the spots would just get whiter and the tooth will get whiter....each will be whiter but there will still be a contrast. I'd say the best bet is to ask your orthodontist when you get your braces off what he/she recommends. Good luck! And enjoy....it feels glorious to get your braces off!!!!!!!!

Upper teeth braces?
About how much would it cost to get upper teeth braces? I've gone to the orthodontist last summer and was told full mouth braces would cost $5600. I'm just considering doing just my upper teeth now because of the cost and because it's the big gap in my upper two front teeth that I'm most worried about (I have smaller gaps in my lower teeth). So for those who have had upper teeth braces or anyone else who knows the answer, how much did it cost?.
Upper teeth braces?
depends if you have insurance
Reply:Idk how much it cost but when I was in like 3rd grade I got them and still to this day were a retaineer so remember that there is other things other than just the cost of that btw I am 13

Upper teeth braces?
Is it possible just to get braces for your upper teeth? I have a diastema (teeth gap) that I don't like. I've gone to the Orthodonthist and was told the cost for full braces (whole mouth) would be about $5600. I initially wanted to do my whole mouth (top and bottom teeth) because I do have gaps on my lower teeth as well, but they're much smaller and less noticeable, and they never show when I smile, so I'm not really bothered by those. So to save money, now I'm just considering getting braces for my upper teeth to close that gap only. Has anyone ever done this? About how much will it cost?...maybe half of $5600 (if I'm just doing the upper part)? I know I'll have to go to the Ortho again to ask, but just wondering if it'll be possible first! Thanks

I do not think there is a way to put braces on a few upper teeth to close the gap. Then you will have the gap between other teeth.. My son wares braces and it is a long story. If Dr. starts moving teeth only on upper side, your bite will change and you will suffer more. I've heard that a lot of dentists (not orthodontists) now making braces and it is much cheaper, like half the price. Do some research.
Reply:Your question sounds like this is definitely out of your pocket for cost and no matter what, you WANT to get this done... between figuring out if you should do it and figuring out the price, I can't help you on the doing part but I can help you out with the affordability no matter if it's 1/2 or a whole mouth getting braces on. As long as you haven't gotten any form of braces on your mouth at the minute you read this, then go to: www.beneficialhealthplans.com to see how that program can help you with a reduced pricing on the work on your mouth. Even if you went through with the braces already, visit the website for future help in prices.... it's a great program.

Top Teeth Braces!?
okay so, im going to to dentist tomorrow...
and they always want me to get braces, but the thing is my bottom teeth are COMPLETELY straight, the dentist even said so, but my top teeth have these two minor spaces on one side of my mouth, but the other side is straight. but im kinda insecure about the spaces, so i kinda want braces...
so after all that is said and done Two questions:
1. Can i get braces on just my top teeth
2. Since the space is minor... can i jsut have the braces for like 6 or seven months as opposed to a year and a half?
Top Teeth Braces!?
I just got my braces off but my teeth were completely messed up...
But I had a friend with the same problem and she got her braces on the top for 6 months and then got them off. GL
Reply:You can get braces on the top only.
The length of time it takes to move the teeth to the desired location varies from person to person. The average is from 18 months to 30 months for children and may be longer for adults. The time depends on the difficulty of the case, the amount of room available, the distance the teeth must travel, the cooperativity of the patient and the bone and the age of the patient.
Reply:Yes, you can get them on the top only. The duration that you will have to wear them just depends on how long it takes for your teeth to straighten out.
Reply:yes for both questions.

Teeth Braces?
do they hurt when they're put on?
Teeth Braces?
i JUST got my braces on, today. they really do hurt. but its orht it after. My older sister had the most crooked teeth and now they are perfectly straight. it doesn't hurt when they put them on, except the pieces that go over your molars, but that pain stops really quickly. Really, the only pain is the soreness afterwards. and truely, on a scale of 1-10 is hurts on about a 2. so no big pain. and if you only need teeth straightened it will be a hole lot easier, i had to get teeth pulled, teeth clean, about 14 spacers. Yeah so, its not bad.
Reply:had my braces put on, and actually they didnt hurt! Report It
Reply:Braces do not hurt when they are being placed on. Your teeth will become sore later after the wire is placed on.
Reply:it really depends on who you are and what your pain tolerance is.but other wise no they don't hurt.
Reply:I had braces for years, and they only hurt when they were tightend or when they rubbed against my inner cheek. This was ten years ago so I assume brace 'technology ' has improved since then.
Reply:Nope--just after the doctor tightens them! It might hurt to eat harder foods for a couple days after each tightening (for some reason, I remember cheerios being particularly painful.) Don't worry--it's worth it!
Reply:It does not hurt when they put them on BUT it does hurt when they put the spacers in to make room for the brackets that they put in between your teeth. It also hurts when they tighten your wires but it's usually over in a day 1/2 or so. Beauty is pain :O)
Reply:They don't hurt when they are being put on, but after they are adjusted each month and tightened, they can become bothersome and a little uncomfortable.
Reply:I had braces for three years and to be honest, I never found them particularly painful. They were uncomfortable at times, of course, but once you get used to them you will be fine. When I got mine off my mouth actually felt strange and empty because I'd had them for so long!
If you find when you first get them on that you are in a lot of pain, it is ok to take a mild painkiller. Eat soft foods, things like soup etc and after a few days you should be back to your usual self! If you just think about having a beautiful smile afterwards you'll get through it, no problem!
Best of luck :)
Reply:Getting braces on is cake. The adjustments may leave you sore, but it is not a sharp pain or anything... You can deal with it pretty easily. Dont worry about it as the results are so worth the years of treatment and going to the ortho every month.

Teeth/ braces......?
ok...do braces hurt?
Teeth/ braces......?
I had a removable brace first. It didn't hurt but was messy as the plate which is attatched to the roof of your mouth gets filled up with food when you eat .. yuk.. so you need to scrub it with a spare toothbrush after eating.
I later had train tracks braces. They feel like someone is applying pressure to your teeth when they are fitted. About an hour later they will start to ache. I took painkillers everything I got mine fitted/repaired/tightened. Eat soup for the first day you get it fitted until the achiness stops. The day after having it fitted/repaired/tightened. it felt like pulled muscles in your mouth (weird hey ! )
You will probably get blisters on the inside of your lips from the rubbing of the "train track" blocks. I used to get some special wax from my orthodontist to rub on the tooth blocks and this stopped the rubbing. Train tracks need not be a bore. Mine were funky as you can choose what colour bands you have.. Don't worry these pains should be over and done with in about a day or so.
Reply:Getting them on hurts a lot, an hour or so after you get them on though...I was crying (partly because i didn't want them AT ALL!) then it hurts for 2-4 days, and then it calms down. But it hurts to the point where i couldn't physically eat other than like soup or swallowing pasta whole.
Then when you get them tightened you've already felt the pain before so it's not AS bad, it's still painful but it's not like drastically bad. Just take lots of painkiller. But it does hurt, just not as much as you probably expect, but it does hurt a lot.
Then like if you got teeth out at the sides like i did, then when they close up the gap then that doesn't hurt, i had it done for the 2nd time yesterday and i can't notice a difference!
If you're getting them then good luck! They're over sooner than you know.. i hope.
I've had mine for like 8 months and it feels like 8 weeks. No joke. But don't worry it's really not as bad as you think it is, it sounds worse than it is.
Overall, they are SO worth it. I mean think of how straight your teeth will be!
Reply:As soon as you get them on, they don't hurt. It feels very weird, but doesn't hurt. Then about an hour later, they hurt very bad.
They hurt like this for about a week. Then when your next appointment is you'll probably get your braces tightened and they'll hurt for a week again.
If you get a permanent retainer or rubber bands also, they hurt even worse.
*My advice = braces suck.

Teeth braces?
is it possible around the cheshire area to have like clear braces,or hidden braces fitted to adults teeth and roughly what sort of cost would i be looking at? i no it all depends on the severity of teeth but just inquiring in what places do such work in the cheshire area!! i live near chester so if possible is there any clinincs that do such work?
Teeth braces?
I had clear braces removed last year, they cost £2500 but that included a lot of prep work first. My friends were £2000. Worth every penny though i LOVE my new smile. I made an appointment with my dentist and she referred me, think you need a referrel anyway so go along and ask, it has done wonders for my confidence.
Reply:I had braces on the NHS and my Authodontist (?) told me that if I had gone privately it would have cost me about £2500.
I had the fixed "train track" type big braces lol. I liked 'em though, I had colourful bands put on 'em, they were cool!!
I think you can get clear ones.
Dunno about hidden ones.
If your teeth aren't too bad you could get a retainer which you can take in and out which is great for just wearing at night for example.
But as for where to go to get them put in - I don't know sorry.
Your regular Dentist will tell you though.
Reply:I recently investigated adult braces - the orthodontist I saw offered me some amazing braces that fit BEHIND the teeth so no one can see you wearing them at all. They are just as effective as traintracks, but way more expensive. Up to £5k all in for uppers and lowers. If you've got the funds, it's a great option. Don't know if they do that around you, but check it out.
Reply:invasaline if thats how you spell it. Try about 5000 to 6000 bucks
Reply:If you go to our message board, you will find lots of people in the UK who have braces and could answer your question.
I think that the cost of braces in the UK is about the same as it is in the USA, which is roughly $5,000 US for a normal 2-year treatment. That of course will be different if you have NHS treatment done instead of private.
Reply:You want to check out Invisilign braces, cost a bit more than regular but totally invisible try www.invisilign.com no list of dentists but you could try googling "invisilign chester"
