Question

well i went to the orthodonist today because i have not lost 2 of my baby teeth yet. one of the perment teeth is on the roof of my mouth! they have to take the skinish gums off the perment tooth and pull it with a chain into place. ouch! but anyway.. i have to get a full mouth of braces. i am SO pissed. i am 14!! i have nothing wrong with my bottom teeth AT ALL! they are staight and i love em. but nooo...the fuckn denist have to make them...different! why?! but since i am 14..will i have to get an expander?

they want to do it in 2 weeks but we dont have enough money. its gonna cost $5000 so we have to wait for at least 3 more months.

Answer 1

I have braces, and it hurts a lot, so the pain should go away in a few days. don't worry! also, take advil or some other over the counter medication to releave pain.

Answer 2

Did you have an overbite? That might explain the braces on bottom teeth

Answer 3

it depends if your top teeth is narrow soo they would have to make it wider and thats when you need an expander.

usually if you have a crossbite.

Answer 4

Don't worry. I had my braces 4 years ago when I was 11. I had bottom and top braces too. It's not bad once you get them. I don't think you will need an expander. We don't pay here in the U.K because we have the NHS where as USA doesn't.

Good luck! :)
