Question: Just wondering how long until I begin to see any change in my teeth.


Answers: Just wondering how long until I begin to see any change in my teeth.

You can see change in a couple of days. You need to know though that faster is not necessarily better. First of all, if the braces are on too tight, you will be in extreme pain. If the teeth are moved too quickly, you will be at a higher risk for abscessed teeth and TMJ pain. Relax, take your time, and KEEP THEM CLEAN!!! Buy a water pik. A great investment. Keeps the braces cleaner than brushing and flossing alone, and, it massages the gums.
(Keep your dental models for quick comparisons!!!)

couple of days

I just got mine off. Luckily, I only needed mine for 8 months, everyone is different, but I think the braces make your teeth more crooked and then it becomes staright. it might take a while to c change.

It could take months or weeks or just a few days I saw change in 2 months

My father was a oral surgeon. With braces you will notice changes on a monthly basis. They will be small changes at best until about the sixth month. Usually getting braces means you commit to having them adjusted as your teeth change, this is why people have braces for such a long time.

Within a few days :)
ive had mine since january and they will come off in july, when i first got them i was in a lot of pain and couldn't eat properly so i wanted them off, but after a few days i could see a change so i wanted them to stay. Mine will come off in june and my teeth are almost perfect now
