Worried about my braces =(

Question

Im getting my braces off next month..and i havnt been brushing properly..i know its my own fault..i brush twice a day..and use mouthwash sometimes..but ive eaten all the foods youre not suppose to, chewing gum, fizzy drinks..all that stuff you shouldnt.. now im worried that when they get taken off that my teeth are gonna be all different colours =S

Everytime ive been to see my orthodentist he asks how my brushing is..and he says its good now...

Reassurance please ?

Answer 1

i did the same thing and my teeth are fine.

i would only worry if you hadnt been brushing

Answer 2

If your worried about discoloring od your teeth..

Id try crest white strips.

they work.

i have braces and i eat and drink everything im not supposd to , and my hygenist says i have very clean teeth..

Answer 3

Oh, don't worry. I had the exact same problem and I thought the same thing you did. The foods that the ortho tells you not to eat is just for safety of the brackets and wires of your braces. For example, they tell you not to chew gum because it may get stuck inside the wires of your braces. & for fizzy drinks, it would be the exact same thing if you drank it without braces, wouldn't it? I think they are just worried about losing enamal in your teeth. So, don't even worry about that. If worse comes to worst, you could always buy teeth whitening strips. I'm sure if it was a huge problem for you, then your orthodontist would tell you.

Answer 4

I have browny rings around each brace and the orthodontist said it's just stains and it will be fine. They tend to wash it off after, or you can just whiten your teeth when they're off. Things will even out!  

Answer 5

hey! chillax! you've got a whole month! if it really bugs you, use rembrandt for the next month until your braces come off. you'll be fine. they tell you a LOT of things not to eat, but rarely anyone folloes them. just brush,floss, and use mouthwash. you'll be fine

:]
