Getting Braces..?

Question

Getting braces tomorrow, don't particularly want them but i know it'll benefit me in time.

Just wondering what colors look good and whether i get a choice between the rubber bands or not? To me they just look like spit strings.

Any other info i should know?

Cheers xo

Answer 1

DONT get white cos the colour of watevea you eat shows up..

and yes the rubber bands are compulsory for some people (you may not need them for the whole timw) apparently if you skip your bands for 1 day that means an exta 5 dys of them on (u dont wan that)

they can also make u spit (but thats a good excuse to spray people u dont like hehe)

braces arnt that bad.. they feel really weird @ first but you get so used to it that it just feels normal after a while

be prepared for ulcers (how evea u spell it...)

yay 4 u getting braces (welcome to the VIP members club)

Answer 2

just get colours that go well together and the do hurt a little bit for the next couple of days after you put them on and for a day or 2 after each adjustment. have fun lol

Answer 3

Make sure to have a big meal before as you won't want to eat much for days. stock up on the pain relief trust me. i think most colors are good. You won't get the elastics until about a year. I've had braces for 9 months and just got mine. lots of people told me to wear 2 or more elastics as they make it go faster. Good luck with it.

P.s. Make sure to brush your teeth really well.

Answer 4

well yea of course ur gonna get rubber bands to hold the the braces together & help ur teeth align

& for starters some good,not really noticeable colors would be silver or black with purple or something

just get ur favorite color lol

oh

& if u dont know this already, they dont numb ur mouth or teeth while they put braces on so it'll feel kinda tight afterwards so the best thing to eat after that would just be like liquids or ice cream,soup or something cuz it might be kinda hard to eat solid foods right away

good luck

Answer 5

braces really arents that bad, you get used to them, the only annoying thing is going to the orthodontist once a month, but relax, there really not a big deal

There is a good website that lets u pick colours and shows u what they will look like:  http://www.pbhs.com/ortho/braces/braces....

OK here is some info on how you get braces

If your mouth has enough room already without taking teeth out this is what they will probable do:

1- A week or so before put in "spacers" These make gaps around some teeth for molar bands to go around. Thes molar bands are what braces are cemented to

2-On the day you get braces, your dentist will clean your teeth/whiten them more than likely, and then he will attatch glue to the teeth for brackets to go on. Then the brackets are attatched. The molar bands are also attatched

3- Then your dentist will run a wire through all the brackets and glue them to the molar bands. Little rubber bands will then be placed on the breackets over the wires....

This is just from my personal experience...everyone will be a little different!

Here is a time-lapse video of someone getting braces....:PART 1-

Good Luck

Hope this helps!

Answer 8

Colors. Don't get black, silver or gold. Or yellow or white.

NOT GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I would know, I had them for four years.

But you don't normally get to choose whether or not you get rubber bands (the kind that you lace from top to bottom, right?) They are important to help your teeth and jaw. But really, they aren't that bad. Hardly any  spit in them.

Answer 9

braces were pretty fun for me because i've been afraid of getting them since i was a kid. i was extremely scared of dentists. for the whole time that i got them i didn't have any color.. make sure they dont give you clear ones cause they turn yellow =x . i dont like colored ones cause it looks too tweenerish
