i want to know anythin there is to kno bout braces please........imma get em in a week.....so please as much info as possible.....thnx in advance.......;D
Yes it is true that they hurt. but if you take ibuprofen you will be fine. make sure they give you plenty of wax. you put the wax on the braces to help your lips and cheeks from getting cut up on the braces. don't worry tho your mouth does get used to them and you will use less and less wax as that happens. after they tighten or change your wires you will be sore. like I said take ibuprofen and eat and drink cold stuff. tho the more cold stuff you use the slower the teeth will move. the cold relaxes the wire therefor the less tension on the teeth, and the slower they move. as they change or tighten the wire the wire gets stronger and stronger making the teeth move more and more. Relax and enjoy it tho. each morning get up and look at your teeth, note the changes. you will grow to love how they are going to turn out. I myself have had them on for 6 months now. I am amazed. ask them at each visit to show you your before models and compare. make it fun pick wild color rubber bands if needed. i use them not cuz i need them but cuz they are fun and help take some of the sharpness of the braces. gotta do have fun with it. use chap stick cuz your lips take a beating too. Good luck.
Braces are used to straighten your teeth. The spacers go in first, and you will feel discomfort. Talk to your friends. I bet you many of them have braces. It will make you feel better if your friends tell you what to expect. Kids wear braces all the time. It's not a big deal. Talk to your dentist or orthodontist. They can answer all of your questions. Good luck.
AVOID HARD FOODS, THEY CAN BRAKE YOUR BRACES! make sure you acknowledge what you put into your mouth. after a tightening, your teeth will be pretty painful for about 4 to 5 days after. you can take some tylenol or something to ease the pain.
I recently got rid of mine. Well, after getting them on, be prepared with two things.
1. Chapstick
2. Ice cream
They open your lips really wide with a stretcher and after, your lips feel chapped, and it hurts to eat, so icecream is PERFECT for that. Also, BREATHE through your nose, and you'll do fine. It's not bad at all, and plus, the outcome is great after it all. :]
its okay they didn't hurt me when i got mine on. but follow directions eat only foods they tell you. i broke my braces like 4 times. Do Not Eat Popcorn or hard candies they will brake it. it sometimes hurts so have a Advil on you to take if there is pain.
well, im about to get them and iv asked and looked on the internet about them and the thing that they put in your mouth that keeps your lips apart does not hurt but when you get them tightened that is what hurts! IT'S TORTURE!!!!!!!
