Braces

[remibarna]

Hello,

So i don't think its very appropriate to talk about oral hygiene but i am having issues with my new Braces i just got on November 20th

So i just got braces on my top teeth, Basically my teeth are a little messed up and a few issues with 1 adult teeth that's not coming out correctly although i am 18 this adult tooth should have came out since i was 13, So it was clear my tooth was impacted and i would get surgery to pull the adult tooth into its right position in January 2017.

I got my braces early before January so that i can get the 2 years over with and since their is no Bracket on the baby tooth. And its very hard to eat solid foods.

Right now my experience with braces is just torture as i cannot eat a lot of the food i love and my teeth is having super hard times eating food besides Pasta,Mashed Potatoes,Pudding, etc now i have only had these on for 2 days now. But for those who's had them for a long time or still have / had them. Let me know if this happened to you or what to expect. Or just your experience with them taken off / on i really would like to learn more about Braces and the feelings since i am a curious person about everything and like to learn about a lot of things. I have seen a lot of youtube videos so far but now i want to actually interact with one another.

It will hurt for at the most two weeks. I could finally chew after two weeks, but it still hurt a little. I now do not even feel them, and forget that I even have them sometimes.

Interesting, Thank you very much young man

Well good luck with them, it gets better after a few weeks as said above. Personally I've never had braces due to me luckily having straight teeth but I know tons of people who've gone through the pain.

After around 2 weeks it stops hurting until your teeth decide to start moving ._.

I hope you don't get chains

You get used to the braces after a while. After the first week or so the pain is gone until the next tightening, but the tightenings are usually never worse than the first time you get them on. When they take a bracket off to reposition it or what ever it can hurt when they scrap off the glue stuff ;_;​

Interesting, Alot on youtube / websites say around 3-4 days.

and i might be getting powerchains / rubber bands after 6 months. I don't have a gap between my teeth but powerchains are used to bring my tooth closer much faster.[DOUBLEPOST=1479946190][/DOUBLEPOST]

Thank you very much for that !

Ive heard about the glue hurting in some vlogs on youtube so ill be ready for that XD and i assumed a new wire = some more pain for that month, But thanks again for your input !

Had braces for 2 years myself. It hurt// was uncomfortable for almost a month. But that's rare in most cases. It really depends on each person(s) situation. But good luck, hopefully it doesn't last too long.

Interesting, Atleast they're off for you

Thank you! i am a strong person and i have a strong body. So they may come off early since my teeth are not that bad in place.

But my gums were sore for 24 hours from the wires poking me at the end of my gums. But they normally said itll take a few days/weeks to get used too and my body already is used to the wires and don't hurt me much anymore, Right now my teeth are just weird when i chew food and it feels like im biting on a bracket when that could lead to an issue if i keep that up.

When you get rubber bands, wear them. I didn't wear them for a while and it delayed my getting my braces off a good bit. Also it will probably hurt when you first start wearing them and if you don't wear them for a while. ​

I don't know if braces hurt I haven't had to get them yet. But I've seen a lot of my friends with braces and they've been in pain for the first two weeks and cant eat hard foods, after that it doesnt hurt as much.

I have springs, makes it even worse. Trust me you stop giving a shit what you eat after a month or two, wont ever hurt in a year (personal experience)

 

[JJDAHM]

If you're able to, you should get Invisalign.

Nope, brackets sometimes but its usually not from like chips, but from rice and shit. Its pretty funny actually, you dont really need to follow it, but you can if you dont want to risk it lol

I feel risking it. And a bracket gets pulled off. They obviously have to put it back on after you reschedule it'll take longer to have your braces on

Not really lol, same estimate, the only way the extend it is if they ,make a misjudgement or in my case have to align my jaw and keep fucking up my springs because I have a habit of yawning alot lol
