Braces!!!!!!!!?

I have been called to go to the dentist this wednesday to maybe get my braces applied but im really worried.


Does anyone have any tips on how to stay calm while they are being applied?

Braces!!!!!!!!?
Just relax. Bring some music to listen to like an iPOD or CD plater, or ask them if you can watch a television there while they do it. Just close your eyes and relax. It takes up to 2 hours for them to complete the process, and they WILL give you some breathing breaks during this time. They will give you breaks to let your mouth rest from being open, or even get some water so you don't get too dried out. Just relax! It's practically nothing. You will be very relieved when they finish. Then you can go home and take a nice relaxing nap.
Reply:its really easy. just take deep breathes when something is hurting you. thier are some times when it will hurt but you have to stay calm and take deep breaths and it will be over soon
Reply:Yes all you need to do is read magizines and stay calm. They don't hurt that much..hardly any. Anyway so then will attach brackets to your teeth and then they will put a wire through them...not bad at all.
Reply:It is not painful at all, you will just feel pressure, it hurts AFTER you get them (not that much only when you eat hard to chew or very chewy food) and plus, your orthodontist might have you wear a retainer at first (retainers don't hurt just bother). The point is you will not regret it in the end.
Reply:no getting them on isent bad but it hurts after cause there sharp and dig into the side of your mouth but your mouth builds up a lot of skin there and stops it from hurting





P.s. the wax that they give NEVER WORKS
Reply:I would try maybe bringing an mp3 player, cd player etc along and listen to your favorite music. Reading a book or magazine could help but I"m better that once your there the kind and curtious staff will put you right at ease and you won't be that nervous.
Reply:if the dentist hurts you, just scream to death and all his other costumers will disappear! You don't get needles in your mouth, it's just boring to sit with your mouth open for 20min
Reply:Breath through your nose not your mouth think of your favorite place or thing and just close your eyes and try blocking out all noises around you and it'll go fine





hope I helped


P.S listining to music helps too
Reply:The process of putting them on, really isn't that bad. I was very very nervous. While they applied the brace, I closed my eyes and took several deep breathes and thought about anything but what they were doing to my teeth.
