A couple questions bout braces?
Do they have to give numbing shots when you get the actual braces?
Is it best to get colors or just the ones that are silver?
Will my boyfriend still kiss me?
Answer:
Impressions are the molds they take of your teeth.
It's a soft (flavored) cement they used in plates, they will do this before braces AND after your braces are removed as a way to document your results.
You usually get the spacers the same visit or the next after the impressions are done, becareful not to floss those teeth those after the spacers are in place.
Unfortunately, they dont give numbing shots, but take some ibuprofen and you should be fine.
I stuck to silver for bands and brackets, but each visit you can choose different colors if you want too.
And Yes, your boyfriend I am positive will still kiss you!!
Best of luck to you!
I Work at an Orthodontics Office and let me tell you that impressions are nothing to worry about all they are is just a jello like paste that will take the model of your teeth and all you have to do is bite down on it no pain and only 30 seconds long. There is no needles do not worry their should be no needles thought your whole procedure unless you are getting Dental Implants which i doubt. I Believe that the best colours are silver because it blends in with the braces. And don't worry your boy friend will still love you and kiss you. :D

OK for one, braces where I live are cool. Second, they dont have to shoot the braces onto you. They do have to put some funky stuff on your teeth but their n is NOM pain during the process of getting braces. Third, yes you can change colors. And fourth if your boyfriend likes you enough, he'll still kiss you. YOUR 12 and have a boyfriend, that's a little young to have a boyfriend!
the impressions kinda feel like they are gagging you, but arent too bad. you will probobly hafta get spacers after that. no, they dont give you numbing shots, only if you get teeth pulled. i like the colored ones better, just dont get green(it makes you look like you have spinich in your teeth) and as for you boyfriend, i dont know him so i cant answer that :)
good luck!
it does not hurt when you get impressions, the do not have to give you a shot, but after they put the braces they will offer you Motrin or Tylenol, because you may be sore, but my child did not complain at all. one word of advice though, use the wax they will give you, until your mouth gets used to the braces
