?gaps, does it hurt that bad with gettin braces for that and how long will i have them?
Answer:
i had a huge gap and they but a little metal band around it, -it got fixed iin 3 weeks and didnt hurt a bit!
***spacers dont hurt watsoever
***pink and light blue are cute colors
***NEVER get white or clear bands cause white looks like food is stuck in ur braces and clear like it u eat ketchup or a lollipop or somethin, they stain
***they put the bands, and then every time u go back u get to choose new colors
k
i have gotton em on over 6 times (dont ask!)
it doesnt hurt dont worry-it is just a long process and it tastes kinda bad
they give u a band on ur molars fiist, to see ur size and stuff
first theu put this positioner thing is ur mouth, it makes your mouth stretch a lkot so they can see ur teeth, it will bother u for a minute or 2 but u will get used to it, u keep that thing on the WHOLE time
then there are these things that look like shots and stuff, i got really freaked out when i first saw them but actually, they dont go in ur mouth! this is the cement that they put on ur braces then they stick the braces on ur teeth
**the cement kinda tastes bad!
then they will put the rubber bands on ur braces with things that look like sisscors (they dont hurt) after that they put the wire-this is the most anoying part cause after they slip it in ur mouth, they have to cut it to make it fit right
then that is it!Ur done
but after u do it, ask ur doctor for dental wax, and rubber cover up
when u get home use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluids
then for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, and soft foods-avoid straws
every night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of days
every morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleaner
dont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i am gettin em off on July 3-my friend says it acutally hurts more to get em off so yea
It doesn't hurt that bad, its nothing that a little advil can't fix. And it doesn't hurt when they put them on, only when you go in and have the wires tightened. And you only do that every 6 weeks or so. Then its only a day or two that they are sore.
Only the Orthodontics can determine how long you will have to wear braces. And honestly, YES.it does hurt at times, when your first get them on it won't hurt but your mouth won't be used to it, your inner lips might get a little blistered but it doesn't hurt, it only hurts when they will tighten it, you won't be able to bite down on hard foods, they will advise you to eat liquid foods for at least 2 weeks. That's every time they tighten it. Be very careful, go to all your appointments, follow all the dentist orders & when they tighten it & they tell you to eat only liquids, please do that. I wore braces for 5 years & This one time I didn't listen to them when they said that, I went out & bought a Hot Dog for lunch after my appointment, as soon as I bit down on it, my teeth were hurting so much that it made me cry. It hurt for 3 days.
Getting a full set of braces to close a gap is a terrible idea. First, it is a lot to go through for one area and teeth often go back to gapping even after braces have pulled them together. Secondly, you can cosmetically change your smile with bonding or ceramic veneers that cover the teeth and also close the gap. That would be somewhat cheaper and NO it doesn't hurt!
They hurt when you get them on for like 3 days, but advil or tylenol will easily make the pain go away. Other than that, they odn't really get in the way or anything, after a few weeks you don't really notice them. When you get the wire tightened, you might have a little pain, but it's nothing really.
only the dentist can tell how long you will have your braces...
