you're only supposed to wear retainers for 2 years. sometimes a little more though.
and you can't eat chips. whenever i ate chips, the little rubber thing that's supposed to separate your teeth fell out. either that or got jammed. that happened to me a lot. you should also brush your teeth daily or else you're going to get white spots on them. and they're permanate. |

wow. i had a thing called an apliance. all that is is a cemented in retainer without the thing for the top of ur mouth. i had that for about 3 years. then i got braces with these annoying things on the sides of my mouth for a year and now i have regular braces without the rubber bands. they tend to bug me. and the wax they gave me doesn't stick
 . so ya. and not all food is good. somehow i got a corn pop stuck inder the wire and it broke the braces. plus it really hurt. watch what u eat so nothing big s stuck under the brackets or wires. and if u move and don't have an orthodontist just remember that once u get an orthodontist ur braces will probly get removed. i can't wait to get an orthodontist again cuz my teeth are straight now  .

no. No. and NO. Braces aren't all that bad besides the fact that you have metal on your mouth I mean I can't wait until I get mine off but once you get them they don't suck as much as you think they do.

Haha. I don't have braces yet. I probably have to get them when I'm fourteen, but for now, I'll stick to teasing those who do have braces.
HAHHA YOU HAVE BRACESSSSS!! I laugh at you. |

I've never had braces, but my friend says I'm most likely gonna need them. Yay, this info really helped. Now I'm not scared - I can handle the pain!! Uhm...just wondering..is it like a sharp pain or more of an aching, dull pain?

i got my braces off like a few months ago and i was wearing my retainer everyday 24/7 and then i lost it about a week ago and my teeth are not as straight as they used to be. i called the ortho and asked for another retainer but i have to get another mold of my mouth but it will be pointless because the new mold will be more crooked. i duno what do do.

Uhm...just wondering..is it like a sharp pain or more of an aching, dull pain? It's like a pressure sort of pain. When you get them on they should be there for about the first week. That first week I lived off of soup and advil. And ice cream. But sometimes the brackets have these little thingies that stick out of four of them, for rubber bands, and when you first get them they might sorta scratch the inside of your lip. Your orthodontist will give you wax for that. |

QUOTE(Latina Babii @ Oct 30 2005, 5:28 AM) Meh I have braces and they don't hurt >_< Tightening hurts and when they have to fix a bracket tit does. Oh you wanna watch out if you bite your lips I bit mine, but Istarted moving it around and my teeth kinda slipped and it broke the metal and I could move it across the wire. And braces do cost over 3000 and most orthadental places don't make you pay all of it at one time. I got mine in second.... and i got them off in 8th |

i never follow any of the rules for the braces
 and my brackets r just fine! i first got braces on my top teeth at the end of second grade. got those off in like 4th grade and i had an apliance, which is like a cemented retainer w/o plastic. then i got that off and didnt have braces for a while then comes 7th grade i got full mouth braces and bands, not to mention they're making my wires bigger everytime braces r a pain but you learn to deal with them dont let them take over ur life and be the destruction of your confidence! when i talk no one can even notice my braces plus, i love choosing the colors for my bands!  and now i have straighter teeth though i still have braces  they didnt hurt when i got them and my piece of advice: dont take painkillers unless you absolutely have to because from experience, they just num the pain and the pain WILL come back so theres some tips catch ya l8r bye and good luck with the braces! P.S.: if an orthodontist tells you to do somethin with your teeth, DO IT cuz if you dont, it will lengthen your amount of time for braces and we dont want that happening now do we?

I'm getting braces on the 19th of July, and I'm pretty worried about the retainers thing...Do all people have to get retainers after they get their braces taken off to keep their teeth straight?

Do you have to get braces on bottom and top teeth cause me bottom teeth are perfect,(well, really close, one of my adult molars teeth is sorta screwy but you can barely tell.) it's my top ones that are messed up, my ortho, said I'd need em as the last of my teeth came in fully( i know, I lost teeth reaallllllyyy late lol)if i wanted the gap in my teeth to close, my bro is so lucky his came in perfect! without braces!
