:)Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Your teeth are sore a few hours after you get the braces on.

Steps:
You go in, and they ask you to brush your teeth (brush 'em beforehand!)

Then, they fit these silver rings on the back molars in your mouth, to replace your spacers.

After that, they "paint" your upper teeth with a nasty-tasting cement. This makes the brackets stick.

After a few minutes, they place the brackets on top of your teeth and the cement.
Then they let you "dry".

After you're pretty dry, they repeat the last 2 steps on your bottom teeth.

After all the brackets are on, they thread your wire through the brackets, and make it the right length.

They ask you to choose some colors for your brackets.

And you're done!

It depends on how long you have them, if you have specific instructions.

I don't know the max length, though.Health Question & Answer

I had my braces for I think 2 1/2 years. I had an appliance that actually grew my jaw out. I had an easy time with braces. But I know of some people that suffer terribly form them. I think they are over dramatic. Having braces is not that bad. It also depends on how bad your teeth are, how long you will have braces for. If you have a perfect smile but a few teeth are crooked, then it might take a year or two. It also depends on which orthodontist you have. My orthodontist is very good. My friends made her wear braces for 5-6 years. And she didn't need them for that long. Go to your orthodontist and talk to him or her. They will be able to tell you exactly what you will need to know.Health Question & Answer

well on your first appointment with an orthodontist they takemoulds of your teeth to plan the treatment their gonna do.
then they will clean your teeth really really well, then put like little bits of glue on your teeth where they stick the brackets

then they will ask you what colour you want and use the colour bands to fix the wire on properly.
after you first get them on it will be really tender cos their loosening your teeth roots to move them gradually, so its best to take loads of painkillers but after a week its fine, but you will get little cuts in your mouth at first
then about every 4 to 6 weeks you get a new wire put in

ive had my braces for 2 years now and getting them off soon:)
