if you get braces, will it affect your life?

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

If only one person has braces its not that bad. I have heard stories about people who both had braces kissing and the braces getting stuck. I've heard you cant even notice the braces while kissing if only one person has them.

You can, but it is not a good idea.  In the process of the tooth decaying, it will effect the jaw, and other teeth.  It would be better to remove the tooth first, then begin braces.

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.

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.

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

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

I've had a customer of mine say that you can do the same as braces just by pushing on your teeth with your fingers, because that is all that the braces do. Of course if they are bad it will take some time. But if you are alone and watching tv or whatever, just try pushing gently on them. Maybe after a years time there might be an improvement.\n\nYou could always go see about getting braces. I know a lot of adults that gets them. Thre are payment plans to help.

No it will push your teeth that are bunched up out a bit so they look flat and more even, and braces help solidfy it and slowly move it, its basically all in the same thing to make your teeth straight or correct your jaw.  You will talk weird maybe the first day or two and be in some pain, but you get used to it after and everyhting is normal.

Yes, unfortuately it is pretty normal for them to hurt. I survived 4 long years of braces and hated every minute of it but in the end, you will be very happy that your teeth are straight. If the pain is like EXCRUCIATING, then you should probably talk to your orthodontist about it but yes, there is usually some pain involved with braces.

i had braces for 3 and 1/2 years, 6th grade through half way through 9th grade, it is not a big deal, at all, my friend had hers on from 9th to 11th grade, no one will make fun of you, like they do on tv.. and if they do, they are losers because everyone has braces.. even celebrities!!! it will hurt after you first get them on but that goes away quick and its a little sore after they adjust the bands but that only lasts a day or two, but really braces are really easy, just make sure you are still brushing you teeth and flossing. because if your not your teeth can have rings around where the bracket was and those dont go away, i have a few. but if you brush they wont be there.. and the best news is you'll hev them off for your senior pictures!! also make sure you wear your retainer unless you want to have braces again! i hope you like your braces, just think of the smile you'll have when its done!!!

i had braces and the only thing that really hurt was after they put in the wire. and when you go back when they change the wire or just tighten up whats in there.when they first put on the things on your teeth for the wiring that might hurt it might not its hard to say for people because pain changes. but other than that there's not alot of pain.

If you still have baby teeth and you get braces they normally dont put brackets on those teeth. Once you lose the tooth and the big tooth grows in a bracket is normally put on it.

Charlie,\n\nGo for it! I did not get braces until I was your exact age. I was married and had a year old son, but it was one of the best things I ever did. From that point on, I was never afraid to smile and no longer self-conscious about my teeth. \n\nAt most, this will take a couple of years for you, and you will be amazed at how supportive people are once you get the braces. I won't kid you, this is a somewhat painful process, but well worth it. In addition, it will probably improve your overall health and also keep your teeth and gums in shape for the long haul. Don't put off this decision a day longer!

YES!...I have friends who have them and they say it works just like braces. They are more expensive buy think about it, its better than having metal wires in your mouth :-&#92; Go for it, the only thing that sucks about it is that you have to take them off if your going to eat anything but one again is not that bad then having braces :)
