The best way to get a thorough cleaning when you are going through orthodontics is to have your general dental office coordinate with your orthodontist. They do not have to take the braces off but they can remove the wire which allows better and more thorough cleaning and then go back and have them put the wire back on. It only takes minutes to remove and place the wire back on

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.

I had rubber bands when I had braces, &  it will allign your front and bottom teeth so it makes them more one on top of the other. It does make you sore for a few days when you first start, but it doesn't hurt any worse than getting them tightened every month.

No! Just call your Ortho and get it fixed. As everyone said they use a special type of "glue" to hold the brackets onto your teeth with a blue light--the same procedure used when you were getting your braces put on. If you use this glue I know they are gonna have a hard time taking that bracket off once your braces need to come off--and it probably wont come off.

my son has a brace and certain stuff he cant have\n coke,apples and things containg hard things like nuts.basically things u crunch in case brace breaks,his had his on nearly a yr and has broken once which is pretty good thought it break more but he has had different ones fitted so the wire becomes bit thicker.your dentist can advise more they should tell you and exlpain stuff when it fitted so you know how too look after brace and teeth while you wear it.

YES!!! You should go see a dentist and get some braces for your teeth and cleaning will help.

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.

To get it done properly will cost few thousand pounds. On NHS I really wouldn`t recommend it if you want to look good and chew comfortably in the future. If you want good looking braces add a few hundred to the fee...

I've never had anything in my mouth like that, but my little brother, who is not so little anymore at 21 years old, had braces when he was 12-15.  Yes, he had them on for 3 years!  And the orthodontist tried to convince him to keep them on another year!  But, I digress, he had an extremely annoying thing that happened to him.  It was actually quite painful.  I'll start by saying, he was in karate, so he was always getting knocked in the face.  After about 6 months of having them, he started getting these awful canker sores.  Every time the braces cut his cheeks or if he got hit, he would get a new sore.  He eventually got a good medicine that took care of them, but for about 2 years, he always had sores all over the inside of his cheeks and the inside and outside of his lips.  And since the infections on his cheeks were touching his gums, he got them there too.  He couldn't stand having braces and sores.  When he was at home, he would keep peroxide soaked cotton balls in his cheeks. He looked really funny.  But I didn't make fun of him because I knew how bad just one small sore in your mouth can hurt.  I couldn't imagine having huge chronic canker sores all through my mouth for 2 years straight!

really, your dentists needs to look at you and evaulate the situation in your mouth. its impossible to say here what an orthodontists would ideally need for you to get the best treatment with braces. your dentist and orthodontist would consult on this using your xrays ect to decide.

nope.  just part of the process of having braces.  it'll be worth it.

This is called TMJ.  Your dentist can fit you with a mouth guard or you can pick one up at a local drugstore.  If a guard it not used you risk damaging your teeth good luck

It doesn't hurt while the orthodontist is actually putting them on, but when they start tightening them to move the teeth it can be painful. Take ibuprofen like the previous answerer said.

Ask your dentist.  He will refer you to an orthodontist.

I had braces, and for the first few days your mouth is sore, but it goes away. You should eat soft foods that don't require much chewing. If you get your braces tightened it will also hurt a bit. But your mouth may be used to everything because you already have spacers. It's different for everyone. Good luck!
