Just about anything that's not extremely gooey or sticky. And nothing to hard or your brackets will comes off, the dentist will give you a list but soem stuff on thier such as gum won't hurt anything. ;)

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

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.

Yes you need braces especially if yout teeth have gaps between them. It don't matter if you haven't got your wisdom teeth yet but you need them to make your teeth sraight and the ones that go up and down go straight. And especially that you are at a young age. It'll be better to get them right now so you will have sraight teeth when you are in High School. And an over bite is when your top teeth go don't touch the bottem teeth. And an under bite is when the bottom teeth don't touch the top teeth. And when you get braces your teeth will hurt a little because those are the effects of your teeth getting sraight and moving around so you will have a nice smile when you get them off. To clean your teeth brush and floss daily the same way you do when you don't have braces on. I had braces and I got them taken off in February. I would recommend that you get them to also remember guys like girls that have a nice smile or braces because your teeth will be straight. And when you have braces you have to go to the Orthodontics every month to tighten your rubber band and pick different colors for your braces it's very cool getting differnt colors to match what you are gonna wear. Well good luck finding answers bye. If you have any other questions e-mail me about it.

Got milk? Also, salmon, sardine or any other fish with the bone in, and green leafy vegetables. Try taking a vitamin, calcium with vitamin D.

As long as you took good care of your teeth while the braces were on you should be fine.  I think the problems like that come along when people don't take care of their teeth and get cavities around or under the braces and other problems like that.  You might notice pale spots when the braces are removed, especially if you drink a lot of soda or coffee/tea because the tooth under the brace itself wasn't exposed to all that while the braces were on, but they'll either fade in after a while or I'm sure your teeth can be bleached to even out the color.  \n\nDon't worry, the biggest pain in the butt with having them removed is sitting there while they scrape the cement off.  You'll love how it feels afterwards.

Yes, they hurt, but they are just the first of many things about having braces that will hurt, so get used to it.  Try taking some tylenol before you go to the ortho.  Other than that, there's not much you can do about it.

It doesn't hurt as much as people say getting them on.  The next few days will hurt because your mouth is getting used to it.  also, your lips might feel like they are bulging out because the braces are there, expecially on the bottom. Every time you go back and get the bands changed, it might hurt the day after, but just take some painkillers BEFORE you go.(you don't want to have to wait for it to work)If you have to wear headgear (this will be something you would have to wear attached to your braces to keep them in the same place, hopefully you won't have this) it will be uncomfortable, and if you must wear them when you sleep, it may be diffult to go to sleep at night, but you get used to it.  If you have to wear them during the day, I feel sorry for you, as it is a great embarrasment to most people.  also, your teeth will be more sensative so whatch what you eat.\nGood luck, and don't worry!

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

None that I know of sorry! If you're simply embarassed to go in for regular braces you could try Invisalign Braces!\n \nWhile not braces at all, Invisalign is a small tray custom designed to the contours of your mouth that attempts to straighten your teeth much like braces would, but remain invisible and easy to remove.\nFor instance, when you place the Invisalign system in your mouth it immediately goes to work straightening your teeth…and you’ll feel it. But, if you have a presentation, a big date, or a meal, you can easily remove the system and joy thes activities with your normal exposed teeth.\n Many people do not like the thought of braces because they are required to wear them for several years. The Invisalign system is so radical that most people only use it for 6 months. However, this short time period may compromise some long-term benefits associated with regular braces.\nNaturally though, the choice is up to you. A consultation with your dentist will give you a better picture of whether you are a candidate for the system or not. They will also be able to give you a price guide that will help you make this important decision.\n\nI hope you can find a dentist who does that for you!

I have had braces on for about 6 months now. 1st you get "spacers" put on your very back teeth, and you wear them for 1 week then you get your braces put on. Spacers are little blue rubber bands that make room in between your teeth so the braces can go on. I thought that this part was worse than getting the actual braces put on. It feels like you have huge Pisces of meat stuck in between your teeth. It is really sore when you bite down, with them on, so plan to eat soft foods for a week or so. Then when it comes time for your braces you feel like your lips are being pushed out and that they look huge, but that feeling goes away within a week or less. And once a month you go to your orthodontist to get your braces adjusted or have new wires put on. Your teeth are sore for a little less than a week after that happens. I personally can't wait until my braces are taken off! Good Luck!

Sugar if you drink it sweetened. However most tea is actually good for you. Dentists recommend biting on wet teabags after having teeth removed to sooth the socket & promote healing.

Sure can, food and debris may be stuck between your brackets and wires. You need to really get in their and clean well. Have you thought about purchasing an electric toothbrush while you are wearing your braces. It is a small investment in regards to the money spent on braces, and will prevent halitosis, as well as clean sufficiently well. Hope this helps!!

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