Answer 3

get regular colored braces.. i got silver/grey to match the metal wire. they change the color of the rubber band every time u go in for re-adjustment (about once a month)



u put on wax by getting a little strip and simply mushing it into the wire. this is so that the metal doesnt cut the inside of ur lip.

they hurt like h**l the first 3 or 4 days for me. its different for everybody tho, my friend had them and she didnt feel pain like i did. i was in horrific pain because they really tighten them at first, and i couldnt even eat spaghetti! i had to liquefy my food in a blender =(

no real bad experience..

braces get put on ur front teeth first, then they go towards the back. top teeth usually go first.

one thing i should mention, they will put rubberbands in ur last molars, to space out ur teeth so the metal socket can fit around ur teeth. this is really uncomfortable. then u get used to it.

overall the first couple of weeks will suck but then u get used to it

also, at ur monthly check up when they tighten ur braces/change the wire/rubber band, when they take all taht stuff off, it will smell like S.H.IT!!!!!!!!! WORSE SMELL EVER! so dont breathe in!

good luck. dont eat any crunchy stuff or gum

you simply just put it on your tooth since its sticky and just sticks on.

drink pain reliever to get rid of the pain.

Answer 5

Braces aren&#039;t really such a big deal. Within a few days you&#039;ll be able to talk normal and most people forget they have them!

Ok, most colors on braces look good no matter what skin tone you have. But there are a few colors I would avoid.

*Yellow- makes your teeth appear dirty.

*White/Clear- Within a week or two may develop a yellowish tint that will make teeth appear yellow and dirty.

Another good thing to know about colors are that extremly light colors will usually show up as white on your braces. Try to go for dark pinks, purples, blues,etc.

To play around with color choices go to: http://www.pbhs.com/ortho/braces/braces....

Next, putting on wax is fairly simple. All you do is take a little circle of wax and place it on anything that is bothering you. If you want to have a live demo just ask your orthodontist and they will be happy to show you. Along with how to floss with braces.

Your next question, do braces hurt? Everybody has different experiances with braces. Some people experiance very little pain while others may experiance a lot of pain. My advice is to anticapite it hurting enough to make you not be able to chew. Stock up on soft foods such as bananas, yogurt, pudding, etc. The good news is that if you do experiance pain that your normal pain relivers should take away some of the pain not all. But all the pain should be gond after 3-5 days.

The order of braces being applyed is here with some pictures: http://braceface.com/gettingbraces.html
