I'm getting brackets on my front four teeth... are they like braces? Please read!?

Question

Okay well in like two weeks I'm getting brackets on my front four teeth (to help fill a gap). Are they like braces, or pretty similar? And also how do you properly take care of them? Of course brush them but y'know. Also, what colors should I get?!?!

Answer 1

brackets are the little things that the wires on braces are hooked on to... so yeah they're very similar.

Answer 2

Brackets are braces but they dont have the little metal wire!

and you should brush and floss.

and make sure you brush around the brackets very well because a lot of food will get stuck in there://

haha.

and i think you shoulld get lime green and aqua or pink and aqua or pink and yellow!:)

that wouldd look so cuteee!:P

Answer 3

brackets r braces with out the wires connecting them.but i don't c how they will fill a gap with out the connecting wire. but anyway... all u really have to do is brush them and floss. your orthodontist well explain everthing to u im sure. lime green and black look really good but so do hot pink and black...

Answer 4

brackets are the braces without the wire, all you have to do is brush them really good and floss them, your orthodontist may have you swish fluoride rinse before you go to bed at night, but i don't know, and i would get black and white
