Should I get a piercing under these conditions?

Question

So I am going to get braces in a few weeks and I have wanted a lip piercing. It would not be a traditional lip piercing it would be below so that I couldn't put in a ring or anything... should I get it or should I just wait till they are off... I'm 16..

Answer 1

I'd wait till after you get your braces off.  I can just see the back, which will be flat, getting caught in the braces wire.  This would not only hurt  but may be dangerous as well.  Also, since you are a minor you would have to have your parent with you to get the piercing, and I'm not sure how your parents stand on that.  By time you get your braces off you'll be or almost be 18 and then the decision will be completely up to you.  

Answer 2

I think you should wait.. there definitely might be some irritation with those two together.  And your only 16....wait and decide if you really want that piercing to begin with.

Answer 3

I would wait because it may be awkward or painful at times with the lip ring, even if it is below. Braces make your gums and inside of your mouth really sore and swollen at times, so I would wait.

Answer 4

my friend just got braces and had a chin spike piercing and had to take it out do to the fact that it would have kept getting stuck.
