first go to your doctor and explain your situation. if he is listening he will send you to a prosthetics store for your brace.

Ask your general dentist, if you have one.  If you don't have a general dentist, then you need to find one and go for a checkup before seeing the orthodontist to make sure you don't have any cavities or gum disease and to get your teeth cleaned before having braces put on. \n\nDr. R.

Get braces and when you're in your house, you'll be straightening them at home. Voila!

They will begin by sedating you.  You will be out during the procedure.  Then he will make an incision.  He will use several instruments to wiggle the tooth out.  If the tooth is difficult or under bone, he will have to use the drill.  Like I said, you will not know what is going on.  After your teeth come out, your both sides of your mouth will be stuffed with gauze, which you bite down.  Most likely, you will not have stiches.  Then you will go to a recovery room and wait for about 30 minutes.  Then you will be sent home with prescriptions and a blunt-tiped (not sharp) syringe.  You will use that after getting up, after eating, and before bed to irrigate your lower sockets.  You do this because food can get trapped in your sockets.  Also, do not drink from a straw or smoke for at least a week or you may get a dry socket.  If this happens, you will go back to the oral surgeons office to have it packed.  Dry sockets hurt very bad.  you will know if you get one.  It is nothing to be afraid of.  I promise...

You have to do the work.  If you are not brushing properly and using a floss threader and flossing EVERYDAY then your gums will not heal.  Braces are even worse on teeth and gums as they get everything caught in them.  The bacteria and food debris just sits there on those brackets and wires, which in turn your body wants to fight off, hence you get swollen sore gums.  I know that trying to floss with a full-set of braces is a pain.  It is even for me when I have to floss one of my ortho patients, and I am a hygienist. I can't imagine having to do this at home. But you can do it.  You just have to make the time.  An electric toothbrush is a great thing for people with braces, it does not have to be an expensive one, the pulsar by oral-b is a great one and it costs about six dollars at walmart.  You have to take even better care of your mouth then the average person does when you have braces.  The only way to get all of the nasties out of your mouth is to brush, then floss, making sure to go under your wires by using super floss or a floss threader, taking care to wrap each side of the tooth like a "C" shape to clean each side of the tooth and under the gum-line, and then following by a vigorous swish with mouthwash or salt water.  The salt water is a great way to help heal the gums up and make them less sore.  Yes it tastes nasty, but it is a tried and true method.  Just try to remember that you will not have to wear braces forever, and once they are off you will have a great smile, as long as you do the work now.

Use a warm tea bag and gently bite on it (in the spot where the teeth were removed).  It has anesthetic (pain relieving) properties.  \n\nAlso take alieve or advil.

You really need to make sure you are brushing your teeth properly while you have braces.  Take your time while you are brushing your teeth and make sure you don't miss any areas.  Also, in addition to brushing... make sure you are flossing at least once a day by using a floss threader.

They are a little.... They are moving them to get the braces on. It's gonna be fun!\nJust wait. you will be sore but it will pass and you'll get use to it\n☺

Use a monkey wrench...\n\nWell the same thing happend to me, and the sad news is that you have to go to your orthodontist, maybe theres no need for braces, maybe he can make a new retainer and fix them a little, however go and see him (her) cause maybe your teeth are going to move more.

Hi, I may not answer all of your questions but I will tell you everything I remember from when I had braces...It took about an hour for them to put them on, this did not hurt.  When they tighten them, it doesn't hurt when they do this but your teeth get sore for a couple of days after as that is when they move the most, advil takes away pretty much all the pain though.  The first couple of weeks my braces were on the insides of my lips were cut and raw from rubbing against my brace.  This does go away in time as your mouth just gets used to them.  In the meantime, if you put the wax on your braces, it keeps them from rubbing on the inside of your mouth so much but it is a little funny feeling.  They will give you special stuff to use to floss and show you how to use it.  I don't remember the spacers hurting, I could be wrong but if they did hurt it was not bad enough that I remember.  The only thing I couldn't really eat was gum and really chewy candy, but there were some things I had to cut up instead of just taking a bite out of like apples and such.  I think this is the most of what I remember.  What I would tell you to remember is as annoying as having braces is...it is worth it when they come off and you have these really nice straight teeth.

no worries after the 3rd month braces are like 2nd nature u cant feel them and when u get them adjusted it wont hurt as bad. ive had mine for 2 years almost 3 now and im so use to it. if u place the wax on ur tooth with dry dry fingers and not a lot of spit around ur tooth it sticks better. also stay away from hard candy like breath mints iv broken offl iek 3 breakets doing it and that crap they use taste NASTY!! ice helps with the pain also hot tea or water just to soothe ur gums. when u brush tonight just brush gently so it doesnt hurt and carry some advil. good luck with em
