u can't eat chewy food like pizza; or drink sodas and every month u get them tightened (joy!)
What is the side effects wearing teeth braces?
Why mutilate yourself? Do you really think that humans were meant to have perfectly straight teeth? Your teeth will be extremely weak as you get older. Try forcing your tooth to move its position in your gum, the gap that it leaves behind eventually results in weak teeth. Report It
Reply:they cut your gums and hurt your teeth when you have them tightened.
Reply:a beautiful smile
Reply:straight teeth
Reply:you will be made fun of in school.
Reply:striaght teeth!
Reply:Straighten, beautiful teeth?
Reply:A little soreness when you get them adjusted. Laughter when you look back at picures when you're older. Thats about it. Oh yeah, and straight teeth.
Reply:a little pain......pressure and when its all over with .....you have straight teeth
Reply:No sides effect
Reply:nothing. I wore braces for two years as a teen and thank heavens. It paid off. Actually I wear Invisalign now at night becuase I am finding that they are shifting on me again as I got older. The invisalign keeps it straight.
Reply:i have had braces but before i got them my friend told me that her orthadontist told her that your teeth could become very fragile and weak due to the tigtening of the teeth by the ortadontist. also marks were the braces were could be left behind if u dont brush properly
Reply:One of the MOST popular side effects of wearing braces is that you are more kissable during the brace wearing time. Isn't that the reason to get braces anyway....to be more kissable? I've also heard, though it's not confirmed, there is some LONG TERM side effect of getting straight teeth out of the deal too.
I dunno.....but the kisses would be worth getting the metal, straight or not.
Brace Away!!!!!
Reply:Pain on the first days... sore inside the mouth, and every time they adjust the braces the pain returns....easily treated with pain killers. If you do not maintain a strict regime of hygiene you might end up with stained teeth. The best side effect is that your smile is drastically improved, it is all worth it.
Reply:Since I currently am wearing braces, I can give quite a detailed account.
For the positive side, they straighten your teeth. Also, the color of the bands/ligatures can match your eyes/clothing/favorite sports teams, etc.
On the other hand, they can be quite a hassle to clean (flossing is a must), they cut your cheeks and gums up because of the exposed metal parts (especially when you first get them on and if they change bands), and you can get made fun of (which does not happen often at all). They are a special hassle when you play a brass instrument (namely a trombone, tuba, trumpet, or French horn)
Reply:sometimes they cut into your gums, but they make a wax that you can put on the braces where they cut in. your teeth get sore when you get them tightened. I would not advise drinking to much soda. I had my braces on for 5 years(it was supposed to be 2,but I moved a lot). I loved soda. that's all I would drink literally well to make a long story short the soda ate away at my teeth around the brackets. when I had them removed(they pull hard to get them off) It caused a couple holes in my teeth. so stay away from carbonated beverages.
Reply:They hurt and cut you up sometimes. Also you can have a relapse if your not careful. For instance I had braces over two years and now I have them again. I dont have crooked teeth but my top and bottom row of teeth dont touch. My mouth reshaped again from my strong tongue. Other than that there is no side effects.

seems like it was written just for you. Check out the URL below!
Reply:just that u r sore sometimes and the person at the begining is wrong they dont always cut your gums only if the wires r to long! you will be fine
Reply:there are a lot of things you are not allowed to eat. things you are limited to. like very hard things, and very gummy chewy things. but all in the end its worth it

Teeth removal before braces?
Can anyone tell me who currently has or had braces tell me how many teeth needed to be removed before you got braces?
Teeth removal before braces?
they romove some baby teeth so then your adult teeth grow in right
Reply:four teeth is pretty normal one in each quadrant of ur mouth,but i f you have crowding more may be needed
Reply:i had to get 6 pulled, could hardly eat anything solid for a week and the taste of blood was in my mouth for 2 days striaght
then i got braces 3 or 4 weeks later and they'er still not all the way in and i'm 15 and had braces for 4 months
Reply:It's not been recent for me, but if I remember it was four.
Reply:i had braces 10 years ago. 4 teeth were pulled out and hell it was a pain.
Reply:i have had braces!! it all depends on how crowded it is in ur mouth. they only had 2 take out 2 of mine! but dont worry ab it i didnt feel a thing and i loved my braces 2. lol i know kinda crazy.
Reply:It depends on what is going on in your mouth. It depends on each person, so they have to explain to you why they had a tooth extraction. Sometimes if there is crowding, teeth need to be extracted and then the teeth will be brought together with the braces.
Reply:it all depends...they usually pull baby teeth that arent coming out OR adult teeth if your mouth is too small for all the teeth. i had 6 baby teeth pulled...but most of my friends had 2-4 pulled before braces.

Teeth Whitening with braces?
is it possible?
I have braces + want my teeth whitened but I don't know if it is possible because it would probably leave discolored squares on my teethh..

Teeth Whitening with braces?
you are exactly right. if you whiten your teeth with brackets on, they will more than likely leave discolored squares on your teeth. if you don't like the color of your teeth, try and brush better around the brackets. angle your toothbrush to get around them better. cut back on sodas, teas, coffee, etc...these things will stain them easier. ask your orthodontist when it is okay to whiten them after he/she removes your braces.
Reply:BIG NO NO! do not whiten teeth when your braces are on!! just brush brush brush that is all otherwise you will get colored marks where the brakets were glued in! if it becomes that bad of a problem ask your orthadontist they will know what to do.

Closing teeth gap using braces?
Hi, I have more then one gap in my front teeth. I am planning to correct it using braces. How efective is this? Is it possible for the braces to pull my teeth sideways?
Closing teeth gap using braces?
Yes. my friend had a huge gap in her teeth and it pulled them together and the look really fuking straight now
Reply:Braces can correct this.
Reply:It is the way to go. I have braces right now, and i had a tooth coming in the wrong way, so i had a tooth pulled, and had to move another tooth to the side so the one in the wrong direction comes up to that new gap. Thanks to braces they have moved my tooth about 8 mm so far, ive had them 6 months now. Perfect way to go if you want to move your teeth across, up or down, or just a tidy-up. f you can afford them that is. ;)
Reply:Umm, my best friend's gap (which I don't think is that big) isn't able to be corrected using braces. She has had her gum at the front altered and is now getting veneers to make her front teeth appear bigger and closer together.
Reply:very effective, let your ortho do the work it seriously works
Reply:it's easier too get bonding..it takes about 45 minutes i had it done it looks great..good luck

Not cleaning teeth before getting Braces.?
What are the results of not cleaning my teeth before getting Braces?
My last appointment was a year ago, and I can't brush my teeth really well. Today I got my braces on, and my orthdo said it was silly that I kept thinking that there would be horrible results, but I have a bad feeling about this. Plus, the night before I was really tired, so I forgot to brush my teeth. In the morning I managed to, at least, brush my teeth for 4 minutes.... I don't know, help :[
They are a big company, but their techniques just dont seem right.
Not cleaning teeth before getting Braces.?
No worries...orthodontist use an etchant to prepare the teeth and this removes everything on the surface. If you are not comfortable with what they did and have more questions, feel free to ask me as I work as an orthodontic assistant
Reply:You'll be fine. Once you get them off there'll be pieces of cement and stuff and you'll need a good cleaning anyway. Just clean them the best you can. There are picks you can use instead of floss, and use Listerine or some other antiseptic mouthwash.
Reply:you will be fine nothing bads going to happen i did the same thing and i just got my braces off my teeth look awesome and theres no spots that are whiter then the other and i see that ur going to be fine too
Reply:Oh i i know how you feel! I also have braces but i got mine on bout a year ago and i still have them on till next summer! Well... i was the same way u should be fine exspecialy if u r brushing them for 4 min. Just keep brushing them after every big meal like breakfest lunch and dinner and u should be fine! And make sure to get beetween the braces and make sure 2 floss if u dont kno how to floss with braces then ask ur ortho
Reply:I had braces already too. It would be good if you could have gotten a cleaning before your braces, since they won't be off for about 2 years or however long you have them for. But rememeber to brush and floss everyday, even more than you did without braces because food gets stuck a lot easier now. When you get them off, they will clean it for you and there will be food stuck in there.
Reply:hi, it's important to have good dental hygiene especially whenever have all this metal in our mouths(food becomes trapped in all that hardware). when that happens not only do we have to worry about cavities but also bad breath. another thing, if were not cleaning our teeth well enough the gums become infected (red, inflamed) to a point where they may grow over your brackets. not only is that unsightly but also unsanitary. purchase a water-pik, there not that expensive this will help dislodge any food you may have trapped, follow up with a good brushing. a fluoride rinse that you purchase over the counter would also be a good idea(rinse with that once daily). i know sounds like alot of work and it is,
but you'll be glad you invested the time let alone the money.
Reply:u didnt clean ur teeth before u got braces? cool. keep it up. nd u cant brush ur teeth well? tats interesting.

Teeth removed for braces?
if anyone here had teeth removed for braces, do your teeth know look out of place, even though there are straight now?
I am getting 4 pre molars removed and want to know if it will change your face structure much.
Also has anyone had there teeth moved too far ahead such as molers moving too far forwards in order to close the gaps?

Reply:i had 4 pre-molars removed and a brace put on last year and the gaps have now closed on one side but not the other.
i don't think it changes your face structure that much but my lips don't stick out as much as they used to.
Reply:If your really concerned about this, ask your orthodontist for before and after pictures of people who have had similar treatment. They should be more than happy to show you results that should parrell yours; remember no results are guaranteed
Reply:I'm not sure what you consider a pre-molar. If you mean the bi-cuspids, they are usually the ones they choose to remove for overcrowded mouths. But if it's baby teeth molars, then they just need to be removed to begin the work.

Does anyone know how much teeth braces cost for an adult in the uk and is it very painful?
how long do they stay on?
Does anyone know how much teeth braces cost for an adult in the uk and is it very painful?
Im not too sure about how much it is in the uk but in the us its about $3500-$5000. It really depends on how bad your case is and the dentist. Some charge more then others, some cases are worst then others... a dentist has to really see your teeth to see how much. you can try getting a basic ortho check.. and they could give you some ball park prices
Reply:I don't know how much it costs but it does hurt
Reply:all depends on the treatment really, best to contact your dentist, but i did have a loose brace and no it wasn't painful and i had it for only 2 months xxx
Reply:NHS nothing. They stay on until your teeth are straight.
Reply:about 5,000 pounds no its not very painful and usually 1 to 6 years usually about 2 years
Reply:Im not sure about the cost...but when you have them first put in they are a KILLER! You cant eat and your mouth is in pain :( especially cos they put a bar at the top of your mouth which makes it hard to eat, and its painful when you get them tightened. Usually its 18months for treatment but if your teeth are just overcrowded and not that bad like mine were i only had them in for 10months and then the retainer. It is worth the pain though having straight teeth! Trust me you don't stop smiling:)
Reply:Yea it is painful at first but it calms down once you get used to it. I only had mine on from august 05 to march 06 and my teeth were very bent!!! My dentist told me to use bongela or teething gel and it was brilliant. Just rub it on your gums and the pain is gone.....
Reply:I dont know how much they are, but crikey they hurt like hell when first put on, and every time they get tightened. I felt like ripping my teeth out for relief.......
I had mine on for 3 years, but had some very big gaps.
Well worth it though.
