Braces help please?thanks.:]

Question

Do they hurt?

What all do they do when you get them put on?

How long will it take for them to straighten your teeth?

I am getting them next monday.:[

My teeth are crooked but not too crooked and i have an overbite.:[

WHICH COLORS SHOULD I GET?

Answer 1

They hurt for about the first week and it makes you feel like you do not even want to eat anything. I have an overbite too and I hate braces. I have lime green right now for my colors. I suggest not to get white because it makes your teeth look yellow.! good luck/  

Answer 2

Silver bands make them less apparent and more plain, colors don't look very good in my own opinion.

I'm not gonna lie, it hurts like a ***** for the first week or three, but after a bit it goes away and you can't really notice them being there. They will hurt every month, at the most, from when you go in to get adjustments, but that's normal. It'll hurt the most when getting them on because your lips have to get used to having metal against them, and it'll shred the skin there and heal.

The time it takes to get them straight depends on what your orthodontist tells you, usually around a year to three years. I've had mine on for a little less then two, I get mine off in 6 months or so. D: I had an overbite too!

I dunno if they clean your teeth, usually they want you to go to the dentist to clean them off first, or at least, mine did. Then they'll prepare the surface and glue the brackets down, and put these metal things on the back molars that you got spaced recently.

I hope I helped, that's what I remember :D

Answer 3

sometimes they hurt and sometimes they don't. the day u get them they well prolly just put brackets on and no wires. and glue them on. it could take any where between half and hour to an hour maybe a lil more they well hurt the 1st few days. i had an over bite too then i wore my rubber bands then had an under bite which was harder to fix. hopefully u wont have that problem. i am very happy with them now though. good luck

Answer 4

youll feel sore for a bit but its not super intense pain. when i got them they were sore for only a hour or so. It depends on how bad your conditon is so only your densist can tell you ( i have 2 years YAY)

GET BRIGHT COLORS!!! or your favorite color :3

( i love my braces so dont mind my enusiasm XD )

Answer 5

Braces kind of hurt when you first get them on. Then after a few days, you get used to it. It hurts a lot when they tighten it though. How long depends on your teeth.

You should get silver. Bright colors make your teeth stand out way too much and light colors get stained really easily. Also Chicken Soup is the best meal to eat if your teeth hurts from braces.  

Answer 6

o well i have a herpes appliance (its for an overbite too.) and the first colors i chose were grey and pink. now its like a month later well actualy like 5 and they are teal and purple. they do give you somewhat of a headache and i advise taking Motrin. (ibuprofen) and it takes 1 to 3 years(your doctor will tell you if you ask him) for your teeth to straiten.
