Braces!!???

Braces!!???
They make the inside of your mouth blister, but your dentist/ortho will give you wax to cover the worst spots. You need to brush considerably more to avoid bad breath, and they are sore when adjusted and put on. However, you can support your favorite sports team, holiday, or school by choosing those colors for your braces, and you can't get "stuck" when kissing/making out with others.
Reply:It feels different and bumpy/odd at first, but then you can barely tell the difference!! But you do have to brush more, and use fluoride rinse every other night if you want to look after you get them off!! Good Luck
Reply:braces are kind of sore when you first get them and when you get them adjusted, they are kinda annoying and you have to watch out when you eat because food clings to them, theres just little things, you'll probably learn to hate them ... as for looking the same, my friends never noticed when i got mine until i said something about it, you'll feel like you look different but others probably won't think anything of it!
Reply:ive had brace and you always look nerdy


sorry but its the truth


but the results are great but when the dentist says floss and brush properly


i sugest ur do it or ur teeth go brown and its really hard to get them white
Reply:I just got mine and it hurts a lot. it will make your lips feel way too big and bumpy. Th part that hurt the most is probably your molars or gums. TAKE SOME MOTRIN OR SOMETHING RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET THEM ON.
Reply:Well, they will make you look younger, that's for certain. But that's no need to worry lol. And no, they don't really hurt. When I was fourteen i got them and had them for 2 years, and my gums were sore sometimes but that's it.





No worries, just be glad you are getting them, a lot of kids wish they could!
Reply:If you want to know the honest truth it was bittersweet.


Right when they put them on and I saw myself in the mirror, I thought I looked like a freak. Tightenings hurt but not so much after a while. You get used to them and don't even notice that they're there. Eating and talking is a tad bit harder at first but you get used to that too. The biggest shock of all this is when you get them off! You see the most white that you've seen in a LONG time [if you take care of them good] and talking is so much easier.


Just make sure you take.really.good.care.
Reply:I have them and I'm getting them off in February! LOL





Well, I'll tell you this much...they take a toll on your look. Be sure to pick the right rubber band color because I've picked some colors that clash with some of my clothes.





Be sure you smile decently. I've seen people in braces who smile like idiots! They think it makes them look like they don't have braces, but it makes them look like they just **** in their pants.





Clean, clean, clean! Plaque builds up like you wouldn't believe and that's not attractive! I know they all say be sure to floss and crap and I haven't done it once and they say my teeth are awesome!





That's just some tips...good luck and be patient!
Reply:i got mine a few months ago and its makes my mouth stick out a lot.
Reply:having braces is nice but there is a disadvantage you suffer pain and it can destroy your respiratory..... or some of the internal organ.
Reply:They take a while to get used to. I had them from the time i was in 6th grade til 9th grade. They kind of hurt when you go to get them tightened, too! I definitely don't miss them at all! But you will be so happy when you get them off! :D Smile!!
Reply:at first u feel the lumps, get sores but as time goes u'll get used to it... oh, dont be so conscious bout it so as not to smile during pics... the more u smirk the more u'll regret... smile as always for sure u'll still look hot!!! ;)





by the way, dont 4get to bring along a orthodental brush.. watson's got a nice handy one u can keep in your wallet. be sure to clean up each and everytime u had mouthfuls esp. outside ur house... and lastly.. watch your breath!!!
Reply:I got mine off last January,when you first get them they feel weird,tight,sore and bumpy,the dentist should give you a pack with :Floss,toothpaste,dental wax,listerine,braces toothpicks...and more make sure you use all that he gives you and take good care of them,because the end results will be bad or you will have to keep them on longer.The wax helps ALOT you just put it over the bracket that is rubbing against you cheeks or gums and it later heals,most of the stuff he/she will give you cna be bought at a pharmacie,braces can get sore for the first while,but you will get used to them.They will hurt a bit when they get titened usually.When you get them off it feels so weird like you only have gums and no teeth at all,but its usually a good end result if you do what the orthodontist says.They don't make a huge difference sometimes your jaw or mouth will change shapes or get wider,because of the space theyve taken up,if you give a huge smile it might be more noticable,but don't worry,youll look just as good with em!





Good Luck!=D
Reply:They suck for the first week. then u get used to them. but the cool thing about them, u can change the colors on them. but i would'nt do green or orange, cus they make your teeth look nasty.
Reply:you should look hotter after you get your braces.





It feels weird at first but you'll get use to it.
Reply:Well, I am getting braces in like 9 days. So far I have heard a mix of answers. Some people say that braces don't hurt but just make your teeth sore (so you can't eat hard foods like candy..but can eat foods like rice and stuff). Other people said that it HURT like hell and that they couldn't eat anything but mushy stuff like pudding and yogurt for like a week (not to be rude, but I think it is an exaggeration). I guess it mainly depends on your pain tolerance and ability to get over injuries. If someone punches you in the arm, you feel a quick pain and then your body is over it. For others, it hurts for a while and others don't feel it at all. It really depends on you. Well, for a summary I think that the braces should cause pain and soreness for about 3-4 days (Mah guess for me). Just be prepared and I think that braces are actually pretty cool
Reply:at first it just feels like theres a bunch of crap stuck on your teeth and while your teeth r getting used to the extra weight, it hurts.
Reply:feels wierd at first.... .... but after a few weeks u'll sometimes forgot their on
