Answers:
*What does the Appliance thing do to make your teeth better.? (I have to use it)

-I'm not sure exactly about this one

*What are the best colors to get for your first time wearing braces.?

-i would avoid the colors yellow and lime green...blue looks always looks good

*What are the foods you can't eat while wearing braces.?

-you can't eat chewy, sticky candy (starburst, skittles, twix, carmel, taffy, or anything like that), popcorn (i break this rule though..just stay away from the hard seeds and brush well afterwords), my orthodontist told me you can't eat anything that ends with "o" (dorito, hard-shelled taco, frito), corn on the cob isn't a wise choice (use a butter knife to scrape off the corn), and don't bite off carrots. this is if you want to stick by the rules. lots of people break them and pay later. You can chew gum, but make sure it is sugarless...it tastes the same anyways
about the other people who are saying you can eat anything you want...you can, but i'm speaking from experience of breaking brackets and stuff..i would just avoid that stuff.


*And what are some other thing about braces I should know.?
-if you have a low tolerance for pain, take tylenol before getting your braces on..

-the pain usually lasts for about a week

-after each appointment and tightening..the pain lasts for about 3 days

-make sure you have yogurt, ice cream, pudding, mashed potatoes, or anything soft on hand right after you get your braces on..your teeth will be sore.

-it's a really good idea to brush your teeth after meals b/c food easily gets stuck in your teeth

hope this helps and good luck!Health Question & Answer

Braces are designed to move your teeth into the correct position, slowly. The appliance is to help keep your teeth in the new position, so that they don't move back.

You can eat anything you want while wearing braces. When I wore them, the only food I was told to avoid was caramels. I was also told not to chew gum. Since I've never chewed gum, that was not a problem for me.

While wearing braces can be a bit uncomfortable at times, it's wonderful that your parents are trying to help you. Having perfect teeth is definitely worth it.Health Question & Answer
