I'm getting braces tomorrow and my wisdom teeth removed on Wednesday, but I haven't told my oral surgeon that I will be coming in for wisdom teeth surgery with braces on. I'm going to tell him tomorrow morning, but I just wanted to know if he will be able to remove them at all. Thanks!
Can my wisdom teeth be removed while my braces are still on?
it would be hard to do...but i think so.
you'd just have metal gaps..
and a lot of paiN!
YOWCH!
Reply:yes they can remove them because your wisdom teeth are not even in your mouth yet they are burried under your gums....but fair warning i would NOOOOTTT get braces and then get your wisdom teeth out...the pain of braces is really hard and the whole wisdom tooth thing is a real pain in the behind...you seem young sense your just getting braces so to tell you the truth for your best interest i would postpone the wisdom tooth surgery until your braces are removed
Reply:I am sure they have a way of doing it.
Reply:yeah, i was actually told by my ortho that i needed to get my wisdom teeth removed before end of treatment but now was not necessary. so i will have braces on when I get them removed. they do not put bands on ur very last molar it is the 2nd to last so u will have another teeth back ther to stop the oral surgeon from touching braces. i dont think it will be a problem. but i agree with others that u may want to wait on either braces or wisdom teeth not the type of pain u want all at once. won't be able to eat a thing for abotu 2 wks if u do that.
Reply:Oh boy can they, alittle warning, the gauze they give you sticks to the metal of your braces, and it hurts!!

Wisdom teeth extraction vs. braces?
I just got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday and it really hurts. Is getting braces worse?
Wisdom teeth extraction vs. braces?
hell no
Reply:I had my wisdom teeth surgically extracted and I had braces also. It was a different kind of pain, like apples and oranges. My wisdom teeth really didn't hurt, what hurt the most about that was how far they wrenched my jaw open to get back there while I was under anesthesia. Braces was more pain due to the pressure of your teeth moving. I would say that braces were more tolerable over all (but you have to endure the pain every month or every visit to the orthodontist)
Reply:no. i had my braces put on and they didnt hurt a bit.

Front teeth extraction for braces?
-I have to get my 4 front teeth out for braces and it will be 2 on each side each time.I ask for 2 week between the extraction.Is it enough? I just afraid they will shift to 1 side before others are removed( sounds silly right?)
-Any one who got to take 4 out like me,how many time you go,in what order?
-Will it be less painfull then the wisdom ones?Do you go to school next day?I afraid it'll be swollen.Need your exp .thanks
Front teeth extraction for braces?
I had my two bicuspids on the top extracted at the same time. it was totally painless and there was no swelling at all. sometimes for sweeling it depends on how your body reacts to the novacane, good luck! tell me how things go!
Reply:I had four teeth extracted for braces. They took, I think, the bicuspids.
They did the extractions two at a time. The first appointment was for the upper and lower on the right side. The second appointment was two weeks or so later for the upper and lower on the left. They spaced out the appointments so my mouth had time to heal.
It didn't hurt too much. I didn't go to school that day, but was able to go the next after sleeping the entire day. The hard part was not being able to eat that day or the next.
Reply:I'm like so nervous. I'm getting some teeth extracted for braces. I'm doing all mine at once. Wait I only have to get one extracted. Good luck!
Reply:I got all my four teeth out at one time-2 on top and 2 on the bottom. Your teeth won't shift overnight-it takes a while- besides you are getting braces so it won't matter because they will shift later anyways.

How is it to kiss when you or your partner has teeth braces?
just wondering.. :)
How is it to kiss when you or your partner has teeth braces?
Thank goodness braces have improved with time
I am 41 %26amp; had the "rail-road track" kind -- that was the braces of the late 70s, early 80s
and I have a scar on the inside of my top lip over my front teeth as a result of my railroad tracks getting stuck on a boys railroad tracks %26amp; having to have them cut apart (talk about embarassing)
anyway.... if the braces are new to your mouth, your mouth will be a little tender, so take it easy
Like the other person said, the only concern othewise is to not press in to tightly so you don't cut your lip
My son (who is now 19) had braces from 14 - 17.. I never had to take him to ER for getting locked up with someone else who had braces... the profile for braces is much closer to the teeth these days :)
Reply:it feels pretty much the same, but you gotta be slower with you head pivots. or if you really get into it, be careful cuz there is a chance that you can get cut.
Reply:Well for me it feels the same but my boyfriend said when i first got them it was weird but now hes used to kissing me with braces =]
Reply:It's not a big deal, really. Modern braces are close to the tooth and light.
It's only really a problem if you really get in to kissing...I've cut the inside of my boyfriend's upper lip once or twice and very slightly scratched the enamel of one of his front teeth. That was during a rather passionate episode, though.
It's a little weird at first but is really not a problem unless you've just had an adjustment. In that case, it hurts.

I have braces, and I also have yellow teeth. What can I do to get white teeth with my braces still on?
I won't be getting my braces off for a while, and my teeth are starting to get really disgustingly yellow. I brush, but that's not enough. Help me!
I have braces, and I also have yellow teeth. What can I do to get white teeth with my braces still on?
It is also important to floss. There is a special kind of needle made of plastic that helps get the food out. I was very bad about flossing when I had braces and because of it ended up with a lot of cavities.
I would suggest talking to your orthodontist to see if using any of the whitening products out on the market (for a short time) is a safe option for you.
Reply:have you seen a dentist? maybe it's time for a cleaning! go get a check up.
Reply:There's nothing you can do. Color your braces black, that will make your teeth look brighter.
Reply:Whitening mouthwash, floss your teeth daily, and brush after every meal.
Don't drink pop!

Reply:try to use a hydrogen proxide. dillute with water and gargle for 30 seconds..it is good and simple way to kill germs and keep teeth whiter. a dentist and a dental lab tech recommanded.
Reply:well i have braces 2,,%26amp; you have to get tooth paste with extra floride!!
Reply:you cant really do anything about that. My teeth were the same way when i had braces. if you try to whiten ur teeth, there will be white circles on all of ur teeth when you take them off. it will be very hard to get rid of them. my advice would be to just keep them as clean as you can and then when you get the braces off, try to whiten them.
Good Luck and i hope this helps!!!
Reply:rembrant has a 'paint on' whitening system.... so does crest.... hard to find, but i'm sure it would be the most effective treatment in your situation :o) i wish you the best!
Reply:I would recommend waiting to whiten your teeth until after you get your braces off. The whitening product will not be able to come into contact where the braces are, so you will have noticeable stains on your teeth after your braces come off.

Is it right to have to have two teeth extracted for Braces? :(?
I'm 15 and went to the orthdontist before. He told me to get two adult teeth taken out thenin 2 weeks he'll put spacers then braces etc. BUT my other teeth haven't all come through yet! So don't all your adult molar teeth have to come through first? %26amp; I don't want to get the teeth taken out because I've already got visible gaps from baby teeth falling out!!
Please tell me if you know this is normal and fine, or if there's anyway I DON'T have to get teeth taken out!! Thankyou!!
Is it right to have to have two teeth extracted for Braces? :(?
im pretty sure that the ortho will know what he is talking about. you dont need your adult molars. i currently have braces, and they dont put anything on your adult molars. the ring thing that the wire attaches to goes on the other molar. you normally want to have all your baby teeth gone before they put on braces, so that when it does fall out it does grow back in weird and move your teeth. im guess that if you have some spaces from baby teeth you recently lost, if they grow in enough, theyll stick a bracket on it. if you are really worried, stop by and ask him to explain it to you.
EDIT
oh yeah, i forgot to add that if your teeth are really crooked, getting some taken out would be a good idea. it would allow for more space in your mouth, and in the long run better/healthier teeth!
Reply:If you don't want the teeth out, ask your orthodontist what will happen if you don't get them out. If he/she is still willing to treat you and you can accept the compromised outcome, just don't get them out.
However... It is NO BIG DEAL to get these teeth out. 99 times out of 100, the kid (usually 11-12 years old - NOT 15) can't believe they are out. Don't worry about the extractions.
And, you say that you are worried about the visible gaps, but the plan would be to close up those gaps.
Reply:I thought the idea of braces was to straighten and strengthen teeth already there .... having 2 removed would seem totally counter-productive. Though I'm no dentist it doesn't seem right ...unless the teeth he's going to remove are impeeding some that haven't come through yet ... I'd think I'd be going and getting a second opinion from another orthodontist
Reply:click on the link from the source section.... everything you want to know is there from someone's story. They had the same concern.
One very common question on our Metal Mouth Forum involves extraction. Often, adults may need teeth extracted to make room so their other teeth can move into their proper positions.
Extractions and Children: Be Careful!
What about children? Personally I do not advocate tooth extraction in children because they are still growing. Years ago, extraction for children was common, but this is not the case today. Some orthodontists still routinely extract children's teeth. If you encounter this, please seek several additional opinions before making your decision.
There are many other methods that can be used to meld children's jaws to make room (palate expansion, headgear, or guided growth methodology). Extracting teeth from children can result in less than optimal facial aesthetics. In other words, you child's face may not wind up looking as good as it could have, because it will grow longer and flatter instead of fuller.
One exception involves a Class III malocclusion. Class III cases are technically much more difficult and often involve jaw surgery. If you need more information about Class III malocclusion, read about it in our FAQ.
Reply:I'm not sure if they did the right thing, but I had two teeth extracted before they wired me with braces. Eventually, it looked okay. The thing is, they're the experts and if we don't trust them, we can drive ourselves crazy.
Reply:do what doctor advises and ofcourse you seek your parents help
Reply:When I got my braces they took two of my upper teeth out. they said this would leave room for the teeth to move towards the rear. If you don't wear your headgear you will be waisting money and time. The faster you can get your braces off the better. Please wear your headgear.
You may feel self conscious wearing the braces, but I think I was lucky in love while I was wearing them. I think they gave me a sense of humility and a very shy smile. It was a killer combination for the ladies.
Good luck to you. You can always get a professional second opinion.
Reply:When I started my braces extravagaza in like 6th grade I had to have 6 teeth pulled before they could start orthodontic treatment... Ive had adult teeth taken out as well.
It may not make sense to take out perfectly fine teeth but usually its due to crowding or if your teeth are crooked in order to move them straight they need more space...
to your question of is it right... well... if you think its right to have straighter teeth than perhaps it is the best treatment method. Remember your ultimate goal is to have a beautiful smile with straight teeth, otherwise you wouldnt be visiting an orthodontist. If you think its not normal(although I think that they usually have a reason for the things they do and know what results it would produce) then go get a second opinion at another orthodontist.
Personally, although it sucked to get 6 teeth pulled in one day... the results and compliments I get on my straight teeth today and the boost of confidence I have as well was well worth the short time span of being uncomfortable... and im happy I dont have an overcrowded mouth anymore too. :-D
Reply:Is your jaw to small to accommodate all your teeth?that is what my problem was i had four adult teeth removed when i was a teenager and i have a beautiful and straight smile.if you dont trust that dentist get a 2nd opinion but he is dentist (a doctor of teeth)I had spacers and rubberbands youll feel dorky for awhile but the end result is worth it.
Reply:look, if you have crowded teeth, thats why they're takent hem out. in the end after they puy braces on, the braces are gonna close the gaps of those extracted teeth.

Have you had buck teeth then got braces? I've been made fun of and now have braces?
i have buck teeth and have been made fun of. I finally and recently got braces and I wonder if my teeth look better. I never smile with teeth and cover my mouth. I just want to know if it will get better?
Have you had buck teeth then got braces? I've been made fun of and now have braces?
I had the same thing. Almost as soon as I got braces, I had more confidence. Just knowing I had braces on to fix it boost my self esteem. Keep up with the appts and use additional bands or headgear as your Ortho says. And in a short time, when you get them off, you'll see straighter teeth. Good luck!=)
Reply:If you go to all of your appointments on time and do exactly what your orthodontist tells you concerning your treatment, your teeth should turn out fine. You usually won't see results over night, braces can take years to do their job, but you will slowly start to see results as time goes on. So just go on and smile, don't hold back.
Reply:It is worth it definately in the long run.
You are lucky enough to be able to have them, so look at this as a short term inconvienence to a long term issue that is now being fixed.
You will forget they are there by the end of it, just stay natural because you might be drawing more attention to them by being so self-conscious.
Good Luck and I hope you are happy with the result!!
Reply:I had buck teeth and had to get braces too. Just know that it will get better! It will take time and patience but you will get there! You will have beautiful, straight teeth when you are done. Just remember to follow your ortho's general care instructions both while you have your braces on and after you get them off! Good luck!
Reply:its ok i have braces too. but i dont have buck teeth. your teeth will get better but not in a day it takes time. my ortho told me i would have them for 2 years and its been 3
