I don%26#039;t understand... I have had braces since December 8th, which isn%26#039;t a long time, but my teeth have gotten much worse. In fact, I have two gaps right now that were not there before. My two front teeth are going apart, and so are the teeth next to them. What the heck? Is this normal or what?
Braces?!?! making teeth worse?
You have only had the braces on a very short time. I%26#039;m sure the office where you are being treated knows what they are doing. Orthodontics is done in stages. The first stage in orthodontics is to level and align the teeth and correct rotations. Spacing in the teeth is not addressed till much later. They should have explained to you that it may look worse to you before it looks better. That sometimes happens while the teeth are being repositioned for all the them to fit.
Reply:see your orthordontist...also check with another orthordontist he could not be a profesional make sure everythings ok...i had braces and i had a smal lgap and it didnt get bigger so check with him...you may even need elastics. good luck
Reply:Don%26#039;t worry about this... my braces came out a few months ago and some times my teeth made gaps as well. With your next visit they will %26#039;reverse%26#039; the procedure by pulling your teeth closer to each other. They will fix it, really nothing to worry about! Trust me.
Reply:yeh that happened to my friend, your otho might then use a chain sort of elastic thingo after and tighten them together to give you that nice smile and shape
Reply:I have the same thing but only on my front two teeth. I think this is normal, also my ortho has told me about this gap. so dont worry. Also they werent there 7 months ago.
Dont worry

Braces/ baby teeth?
i have permanent baby teeth. X rays show that i have no teeth growing underneath. If i get braces, can i keep my baby teeth without pulling them out?
Braces/ baby teeth?
It would probably depend on the orthodontist. Mine would put what they call a coil instead of a bracket on the baby tooth. Then if they knew for sure that you were never going to lose those teeth, they might try to fit a bracket on those teeth. If a bracket would not work, then my orthodontist would just stick to the coil. They don%26#039;t hurt, and the coils are fun to play with using your tongue. :]
Reply:Talk to your dentist, but the only reason I know for baby teeth being lost is because permanent teeth push them out.

Braces and teeth extractions?
I%26#039;ve had braces for a year and i still have an over bite. My orthodontist wants me to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed along with 2 of my premolars on top! I work around people all day long and I don%26#039;t want them to think I look like a meth head with missing teeth! How long does it take for them to shift back and will cause spacing or gaps in my front teeth?
Braces and teeth extractions?
Actually if you think about it, people only really see your front teeth. They don%26#039;t see the molars when you%26#039;re talking unless you show them on purpose.
Reply:it depends how tight they leave ur braces after they remove ur teeth.....i had 4 front teeth(the ones next to the buck tooths;up and down) removed and they shifte in like a week but with a lot of pain, the tighter ur braces, the faster the shiftment....

Plastic surgery vs. braces for teeth?
This is more of a survey question.
Survey Question!
How comparable is getting plastic surgery than getting braces for teeth?
A) There is a huge difference. Getting braces for teeth is normal because teeth were meant to be straight. Getting plastic surgery is fixing something that was meant to be undesirable.
B) I view it the same way. They are comparable. Getting plastic surgery and getting braces for teeth is just to look good. So in that sense they are indeed comparable.
C) I have my own opinion. This is what it is...(explain).
Pick A, B, or C.
If C, please explain.
Thanks.
Plastic surgery vs. braces for teeth?
I choose C. Straighter teeth can. improve oral health as well as appearance. Misaligned teeth can result in jaw problems later in life, for example.
Crowded teeth can be difficult or impossible to clean properly, which can lead to severe tooth and gum problems.
Reply:C. Braces do not need knive but plastic surgery need and putting on braces is not bloody but plastic surgery is bloody. Report It
Reply:B
Reply:Definately A for meeee
Reply:A
it is bad to have really crooked teeth.
also braces arent just for teeth they are for your jaw line. if your teeth are really messed up it can lead to mouth cancer or something because of the roots of your teeth rubbing together. and your teeth over lapping or growing wrong. and yes it can make you look better
Reply:B,
Reply:C) It depends if your teeth are really badly not strait and for plastic surgery it depends what your getting done but I think you dont need plastic surgery because i bet your very pritty the whay you are and you shouldent change that gust because you think you look weird or something

Braces & Grinding teeth?
Have had braces for a week tomorrow. and i grind my teeth readlly bad at night. and wake up and feel my teeth lose and moving around. Am i messing anything up ? could i use a mouth gaurd with braces? shld i tell my dentist?
Braces %26amp; Grinding teeth?
Thats so weird, I had the same problem, I thought it was just me. I felt like that for months to be honest. I think it%26#039;s your mouths way of fighting what is in your mouth. After a few months my mouth got used to it. I still once in a while wake up feeling like I have been grinding my teeth, but thats not too often. If your experiencing really bad grinding you might want to see your ortho and they might give you a mouth peace or something. I would give it to the end of the month.
Reply:you should tell your dentist about that.
Reply:Your teeth will feel slightly slack as they are moving they will feel like this till you get the brace removed. It dosnt sound problem to me but if you are worried there is no harm in asking your dentist. xxx :)
Reply:I just got braces put on and during the proceedure he actually said %26quot;You%26#039;ll notice when you move your lips over your teeth that they feel lose - don%26#039;t worry, this is normal.%26quot; But on your next tightening I would mention it anyways. Better to be safe than sorry!

DO BRACES MAKE TEETH WHITER? ...do they?
i have known two people who have had braces and their teeth were incredibly white once they took them off...i%26#039;m wondering if braces make teeth any whiter and how? Also when is the best age to get braces??
DO BRACES MAKE TEETH WHITER? ...do they?
they probably got their teeth whitened after getting them taken off.
Reply:No, it%26#039;s probably just being used to the darker color of the braces.
Reply:it could be that they got their teeth whitened after their braces were removed. My ortho asked me when i got my braces off if i wanted to have my teeth whitened in addition to the normal after removal cleaning at no additional charge.
Reply:When your about 10-15 is the best age to get braces!! and NO braces don%26#039;t make teeth whiter!!! It%26#039;s because you have to brush your teeth really well that your teeth become whiter!!!
Reply:I don%26#039;t see how the braces themselves would make their teeth whiter.
If that%26#039;s the case though, it might just be from the extra care one might have of their teeth while having braces. They%26#039;re undergoing expensive orthodontic treatment afterall, I doubt they%26#039;d neglect their teeth at that point.
That might turn into whiter than average teeth, with all the brushing and caring they probably perform.
Reply:No, the braces don%26#039;t make the teeth whiter. Since they do cover the teeth they may protect them from the day to day foods and drinks that cause stains ( such as: coffee, tea etc.). The best time to get braces is when you have lost all of your baby teeth and have grown in your adult teeth. So, the age will vary from person to person. Good luck to you.
Reply:NO braces do not make your teeth whiter, if any thing they can make them yellower. as they are harder to clean.
As for the best age, that depends on what the problems in your mouth are.
Go see your dentist for a good chat.
Reply:I have braces for about 2 years, but this year would be my last brace year! so excited! Actually it makes my teeth whiter than before(I really had a yellow teeth before, it is because I had a monthly appointment to my dentist, and every time I got her clinic, she cleans and brush my teeth, then put some fluid(I don%26#039;t know what it called) on my teeth.
