IM GETTING BRACES ON JULY 29TH ! what do they do? IM GETTING TOP AND BOTTOM, im a lil scared. ITS AT 8 AM?

Question

please help

Answer 1

I got mine a week ago and I was sooo nervous I just about burst into tears when I got there but it wasn't that bad... so first they need to find the right size metal rings to put around your back teeth (which was annoying) and when they were FINALLY in they take them out and put them in with glue then there's lotsa foul tasting stuff... then they glue on the little brackets then thread the wire through then there's a bit of an uncomfortable pain when they tighten the little wires when there putting them in but its bearable... after a fews hours the pain is REALLY bad but by the next morning its gone!!! But it will take a bit to start eating again!! You'll be fine, just take some ibropufen or panadol and hour before you go and buy lots of soft food... good luck xoxo

Calm down, they aren't that bad. They don't hurt at all to get put on, but after a few hours they might get sore. It's not the kind of pain that will make you cry, but you might be uncomfortable and not wanna eat foods like pizza for a few days. I had braces for 4 years top and bottom and if you want you can message me or send me an email with more questions!

Answer 4

it doesnt hurt dont worry-it is just a long process and it tastes kinda bad

they give u a band on ur molars fiist, to see ur size and stuff

first they put this positioner thing is ur mouth, it makes your mouth stretch alot so they can see ur teeth, it will bother u for a minute or 2 but u will get used to it, u keep that thing on the WHOLE time

then there are these things that look like shots and stuff, i got really freaked out when i first saw them but actually, they dont go in ur mouth! this is the cement that they put on ur braces then they stick the braces on ur teeth

**the cement kinda tastes bad!

then they pop the wires in

they do this the first time and every time u get them tightened:

they will put the rubber bands on ur braces with things that look like sisscors (they dont hurt)

then that is it!(the process is about 35 minutes)

Ur done

but after u do it, ask ur doctor for dental wax, dental cotton balls, and rubber cover up

when u get home use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluids

then for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, pudding, jello, beans, yogurt, custard, fries, milkshakes, ice cream, and soft foods-avoid straws

every night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums strong from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of days

every morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gums healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleaner

dont worry-trust me
