Well its cuz it might get stuck in ur braces and plus in can ruin them to, like when you wear a pair of shoes way to much and they start to wear down a little..It can wear down your braces or i think "strain

They have this nail polish that helps you not bite your nails though, sadly i don't know what its called but you can look on the internet..I don't think fake nails will work because you can still bite on them and not realize it so i think the best thing to do is to get the nail polish..

If you bite your nails, the bits of nail can get caught in and under the braces and that can make your 'perfect smile' less perfect ...... and those bits of nail can 'rot' and start your teeth rotting ...... I know of at least three people who should have perfect smiles, but because they didn't use good hygiene, and they bit their nails, they now have very rotten teeth and look terrible.. Do whatever you must to keep from biting your nails ...... for the GOOD of your smile! Health Question & Answer
