I don't see why a person would lose weight with braces...I didn't. I guess some people might from having to ever-so-slightly change their diet temporarily. Don't worry about it; if it becomes a problem, talk to your parents or doctor, and see what they recommend for you.

go to the doc

Sounds like you have a fast metabolism.

When I had braces I never lost weight, but if you do it would be because you aren't eating as much because your teeth are still sore for the first week or so.

haha no you dont lose weight. i work for an ortho and if your is good, he/she will make it so you can still eat whatever you want. if your teeth are sore, take some medicine and it will be fine. also, soreness only stays for a couple days. its okay, just eat lots of carbs and calories like meat and stuff like that.. you'll be fine

the term would be a high or low metabalism. and you have high. when you get braces you will lose a feel pounds the first few days because you dont eat as much b/c your teeth hurt. what you do if you want to stay the same or gain weight is eat fatty and starchy foods. but they should be soft. after the first week or less your teeth should start to feel fine again and you will be able to eat as you normal do and will gain what you lose back again
