It will be hard to find many dentists that are willing to do "lingual" braces.  They are very hard to place on patIEnts and very hard to keep on patients.  Due to their placement on the backs of the teeth, you are very prone to biting the brackets off.  They are not very comfortable to your tongue and a nightmare to keep clean.  Depending how much movement you need to achieve, invisible braces may work (ie. Invisalign).  they are clear plastic trays that are changed every two weeks that "slowly" move your teeth into place.  However, they are not ideal for every case.  They are move aesthetic that conventional metal braces, but they have their limitations.  You may also want to consider ceramic braces.  They are placed on the front of your teeth similar to conventional metal braces, but they are tooth colored.  In my opinion, braces (whether metal or ceramic) can achieve your desired results usually faster than the invisible braces and they can control the movement of the teeth better.  As for retention. if you do the invisible braces, your last tray will become your "Permanent" Retainer.  With braces, your Orthodontist will probably suggest a conventional acrylic retainer with a metal wire in front.  Now this is not as esthetic; however, it allows your Orthodontist to "fine tune" your teeth even after the braces have come off!  Hope that this proves helpful!

Probably not if you brush REALLY well, but I'd recommend that you use a fluoride rinse while you have your braces on. With braces on, it's really difficult to floss properly and make sure your teeth are properly clean - I'd be less worried about stains and more worried about cavities personally, I know of a lot of people who had cavities when their braces came off, especially if they had those metal rings around their back teeth.

I know you're not supposed to, but pop it and then put some toothpaste on it before bed. It probably won't be gone, but it will be better than whitish green! Dab on a little (emphasis on a little) concealer before your date. Have fun!!

believe it or not i just got my braces off on tuesday, after having them for 2 yrs and 4 months. i went through pretty much everything orthodontal from rubber bands to a palate expander to retainers and "tongue cribs" (you don't even want to know); I think u get the picture. So i guess u could say I'm pretty much an expert on this sort of thing. Soft foods, of course, would be the thing to go with. I'd honestly have to say soup. Ice cream's good too. Or yogurt or even mac and cheese - basically anything soft and anything that u feel comfy eating. Good luck - and I'm sure your smile will soon be absolutely gorgeous!

wait to go to your orthodontist and see what colors s/he shows you there are many colors to pick from, you will see.\n\nPick whichever one you like the best, and they don't fade becuase you change them the next appointment. It's not like the color is permanenet. I personally got silver because it was the color of the braces and matched with eveyrthing.

Take a soft, slightly damp cloth and literally polish the bar.  Hope that helps!

it will take an hour or two installing braces... it actually depends on how fast you orthodontisr works... & how fast the glue dries.... be patient... you'r look beautiful right after its done. =)

Braces are very cute- but can be uncomfortable at first.  They improve teeth very greatly, and straighten them.

I didn't find the upkeep of braces annoying.  There is just a little extra work but its not too different from every day maitnance.  What I found annoying was the metal irritated my mouth.  They sell wax for this and you put a big glob of it on teh area and it stops rubbing agrains your mouth.  And popcorn shells got caught in there and it was very painful.  I would do it again though.

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!

I advise my patients to use \n\nColgate Sensation Deep Clean Whitening\n\nThis has Bicarbonate of soda in it but does not have the strong taste that Arm and Hammer has.\n\nIt is very mildly abrasive, enough that it will remove staining but not damage the enamel on your teeth.\n\nBeware of using Pearl Drops, Eucryl or other so called tooth polishes. They are too abrasive to be used regularly and make the staining worse eventually by roughening the enamel so the stain sticks all the more.\n\nIf it's any recommendation, I use this myself too!\n\np.s. Crest Whitening Strips are NOT available in the UK, the Americans have not been reading the questions again...........

umm i used to have braces and i have a water pic and it worked awesome and you can change the pressure of the water so you can make it as soft or as hard as you want then you might want to take some mouth wash and rinse your mouth so you get that clean feeling.  hope it all works out for you
