I'm Just wondering cause Im getting braces but I dont know they didnt tell me much about it cause I was aproved for them so can you tell me if you get them first?
Answer:
u do get spacers first cause they are wat make room forthe metal bands that they put in the back to hold ur wire. most people have them for around a week***spacers dont hurt watsoever***pink and light blue are cute colors***NEVER get white or clear bands cause white looks like food is stuck in ur braces and clear like it u eat ketchup or a lollipop or somethin, they stain***they put the bands, and then every time u go back u get to choose new colorsk
i have gotton em on over 6 times (dont ask!)it doesnt hurt dont worry-it is just a long process and it tastes kinda badthey give u a band on ur molars fiist, to see ur size and stufffirst theu put this positioner thing is ur mouth, it makes your mouth stretch a lkot so they can see ur teeth, it will bother u for a minute or 2 but u will get used to it, u keep that thing on the WHOLE timethen there are these things that look like shots and stuff, i got really freaked out when i first saw them but actually, they dont go in ur mouth! this is the cement that they put on ur braces then they stick the braces on ur teeth
**the cement kinda tastes bad!then they will put the rubber bands on ur braces with things that look like sisscors (they dont hurt) after that they put the wire-this is the most anoying part cause after they slip it in ur mouth, they have to cut it to make it fit rightthen that is it!Ur done
but after u do it, ask ur doctor for dental wax, and rubber cover upwhen u get home use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluidsthen for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, and soft foods-avoid strawsevery night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of daysevery morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleanerdont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i am gettin em off on July 3-my friend says it acutally hurts more to get em off so yea
Generally, yes. Don't worry though, they're just little rubber bands they stick between a few back teeth.
Yes, they ususally put in spacers before they put on your braces. They did that to me when I had braces.
i didn't but a lot of other people did. they're not that bad, you can't even really tell that they are there. having braces is bad enough.
Yeah, I had to have two of them on my back teeth. They kind of started to hurt after a while and it was hard to eat dinner that night. Good luck with it lol.
Yes you get spacers before you braces. You have them in for about a week, they are really painful!!
Not sure if spacers are still generally used but, when I first got braces when I was younger, they were used on the teeth that needed rings, such as the back teeth that are used for tightening the overall fit of the braces. Usually, I think, it's only when your teeth are tight together that they are needed.
Spacers arn't that bad and they generally come before braces. They prepare your teeth and help them get spaced properly. Just be happy you don't (hopefully) need a pallet expander - now that is true pain!
