Braces????

I have to get braces I was just wanted to know a few things:


-Do they let you chose the color of the braces?


-If they let you chose can you choose 2 colors to have?


-Did it hurt while the dentist was applying the braces?


-What is the average time some one has there braces on for? because I know different people have them on for different times.

Braces????
Cool im getting them off in a few weeks.


alright well....


first question


Do they let you chose the color. Yes they do they have many colors.





They let you have 2 colors.. yes. or you could have 1.





they kinda did but not bad. There just like glueing them onto your teeth.. But u feel like pressure.





The aberage is about 2 years.. buts always depending on your teeth...





Awwwe%26lt;3 dont worry you will be ok.. and trust me you will be sooo happy when u get them off!





GOOD LUCK%26lt;33333
Reply:The braces themselves are only one color-the metal. But they put elastics on the fronts and you can choose those colors. A lot of times if they ask you can have two different colors. I had mine on for about a 1 1/2 years. It doesn't hurt when they put them on, but you feel the tightness after.. not bad though
Reply:-Yes you get to pick the color of the bands they put on your brackets and the color of the chain. Most times you can pick 2 colors. Or one if thats what you want!


-Well it doesn't HURT while they're putting them on, but it's not comfortable because they have this this thing that holds your mouth open and it feels weird. But they really hurt afterwards for a few days. It will hurt to eat too, so it might be a good idea to get some soft foods and food that is easy to eat like soup, spaghetti Os, mashed potatoes, etc.


-How long you have them on all depends on YOU! Your teeth are unique and it depends on how crooked your teeth are. But it helps to wear your rubberbands everyday when you get them, even if they hurt your teeth the first few days.


A tip from someone with braces: those flossy pick things are great for when something gets stuck in your braces!


Good Luck and I hope this helped!
Reply:yes they let you choose the color(i have light pink!) you can have as many color as you want...you can even do a rainbow pattern but tell them exactly how you want it so they wont mess it up.it doesn't hurt at all when they put them on but you nay be sore a couple hours after. the average time for braces was is about 18 months-9 years(i have mine for 2 years and my teeth are in pretty bad shape)good luck! =)
Reply:-The orthodontist should let you chose the color of you brackets. Usually there is gold, silver, and clear to chose from.


-Deepening on your orthodontist, you can usually chose two different colored elastics


-The braces going on shouldn't hurt. The brackets just get cemented on, then the wire goes on and the elastics hold them together. You may feel some discomfort after, when your teeth start moving, but not when the braces go on.


-Mine only need to be on for a year or so, but it really depends on the case. My teeth are strait, but i have an overbite that needs to be corrected.





Good Luck,
