Listen when your orthodontist out your braces on you it doesn't hurt, when he/she finishes your teeth and mouth will feel tight it will then begin to hurt a little but that depends on how in shape your teeth are. If any one tells you anything just flip them of and tell them to fuck themselves, because your going to have better, beautiful, teeth than them, I know, I have braces its not that bad. Don't believe any thing any one tells you except for those who have had braces, and your best friends okay.

Just put it on your will and let all your family members know about your wish.\nBut once you are dead, does it really matters if you have braces or not?

if it really bothers you so much you should consider getting braces . or just deal with it I'm sure you are a beautiful person inside and out it isn't all about looks all the time.

Not likely. Unless you have DENTAL insurance specifically, most regular health insurance companies consider braces to be a cosmetic procedure.

Follow your orthodontists advice on caring for them. Don't eat corn on the cob.\n\nDon't worry about what you look like. Lots of people have them and there is nothing to be ashamed about.

well if you say you have as many problems with your teeth as you do, i would say ya, you need braces. Keep in mind though, you may not just get bottom braces. If your teeth do a lot of shifting when you get them, they wont align with the top teeth, so you'll have to get the tops ones as well.

Try contacting colleges of dentistry in the area. They usualy have programs, where you can let ortho-residents do your braces and pay half the price. However, you should talk to the patients of these residents to determine which one is the best. I had my braces this way and really suffered for a long time, since my ortho-resident did not seem to know what she was doing. My friend, on the other hand, got a very good resident and had her bracesa off arounf the same time as I did, even though she strated her treatment 10 months later and her case was more complicated. Get recommendations!

There are special mouthpieces designed for people with braces. Talk to your orthodontist and they can set you up with what you need.

They have now clear plastic braces you cannot see. Check with a dentist. Doubt that insurance will pay for any of it today. You may have to get a loan.

after all (or most) your "adult" teeth are in,braces can be put on. there is no age or (grade)to  wait for. adult braces have become popular but  its best to have it done young.so once your baby teeth are done and new ones have fully grown in..thats the best time

hey if it's straightening your teeth, then go for it. There are also other alternatives to metal braces. There are the clear brackets, and the Invisaline (i think that's how you spell it), the clear plastic things that fit over your teeth. Talk to an orthodontist, about all of your options.\nGood luck!

Don't try to adjust your retainer.  Make an appointment to see your general dentist or your orthodontist so he or she can do it for you.

it will feel a bit numb and then you'll get use to it. Don't worry! "Braces are temporary, a beautiful smile is permanent"

I have braces now.  They only hurt for a day or two after each visit then you overeat becasue you are hungry from when you couldn't eat.  You could lose weight but braces do not impede on eating all that much.

My son's braces were all put on at the same visit.  I guess it depends on the orthodontist.  I am surprised that the orthodontist didn't tell you more of what to expect when he discussed getting braces with you.

The dentist suggests the braces. The parents make the decision to go through with it or not.\n\n.:Lark:.
