You really need to make sure you are brushing your teeth properly while you have braces.  Take your time while you are brushing your teeth and make sure you don't miss any areas.  Also, in addition to brushing... make sure you are flossing at least once a day by using a floss threader.

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!

The type of braces recommeded would depend on a lot of factors. But you could go for cosmetic or normal brackets or invisalign. Invisalign and and cosmetic are more expensive. There is also newer brackets like INNOVATION R which reduces the time of the treatment. If you are worried about the cost you can even go to a dentist who has an interest in orthodontics and has been doing orthodontics for at least a few years. Also ask if you can get non-extraction orthodontics done with arch development appliances if needed.\nGood Luck\nKC

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

I had braces top and bottom. It didn't take long to fit them, 45 mins at the most. The orthodontist will glue the little metal bits onto each tooth and put clamps around the back teeth and then attach the wires with little coloured bands to each tooth and insert the wire into the clamps.

you meant the bands on the brackets?? my daughter has braces and her orthodontist has baby blue, light pink, white, clear, silver, dark blue, hot pink, orange, purple, black, red, green, maybe more, those are the ones she has chosen. they change them every six weeks or so when you see the orthodontist, she likes to go for Holiday colors etc.

There are not to many different types, A long syringe tip is used for lower block anesthsia, and a shoter tip is used for local areas mostly on hte upper jaw, but some area's in the lower jaw as well.  There is a type called the Wand.   it looks like a pen attached to this little machine and it electronically injects the anesthetic at a controlled pace.  Good for kids and very small fillings, there are some that are put on to a drill to place it directly into the bone, and there is also one called a Ligmajet (sp?) it inserts  the anesthetis into the periodontal ligament.  hope this helps..\n\n\nDental Assistant 5 years, \nDental Hygiene Student

They are called invisalign.\n\nYes they really work and tend to cost $3,500 - $7,000 depending on the amount of correction you need. That price can vary in areas, so remember to get a few estimates from dentists in your area.\n\nHere's the info:\n\nhttp://www.invisalign.com/generalapp/us/en/index.jsp\n\n\nThis site has everything you need to know.

well. rubber bands are the foce element or a component of orthodontic appliance used in the treatment of ur gaps .\n  well, regular bands are alomost similar to orthdontic elastic bands , but the sizes and the quality varies , these bands have to be used along with retainers placed on the teeth , and these elastic bands need to be adjusted according to the amount of space need to be closed which an orthodontist or a dentist alone can do it .so  never try this at home as it may result in misalignment and other adverse affects

RUBBER BANDS ARE USUALLY USED TO CORRECT  A BITE... NOT TO MOVE A TOOTH.  THEY HELP CORRECT AN OVERBITE OR AN UNDER BITE.  A WIRE TETHER IS USUALLY USED TO PULL DOWN A TOOTH FROM THE GUMS.  I AM NOT SURE WHAT HE IS PLANNING FOR YOU.

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

invisilign takes about twice as long as traditional braces and most of the time you still need to bracket the teeth

Braces hurt like heck! Take Tylonal or another pain killer, then chew gum while the medicine is in effect. You can also massage you gums by rubbing your cheeks/jaw with your fingertips in a gentle motion. Wax actually helps the wires from not poking your gum, but it doesn't help with the 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.

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