Question about braces ?!?!


Question: Has anyone had braces if so what age did you get them? where they sore to be put on and taken off & tightened up? how long did you have to keep them in for? did the glue stain your teeth? did you have to get any teeth taken out before getting them in? if so was that sore? What's the best colour to get that's not noticeable?

Do you think getting them at 17/18 yo is too old? One of my teeth is slightly squint, my dentist said if i wanted to get braces i'd need to get some teeth estracted from the back so they can push them back...

When someone answers all my questions i ask you'll get 10pnts :-) thanks xx

-Im 17 and I just got my braces on 2 weeks ago
-When they first put them on It was hell on earth for me like the first week.( hurt to chew food it took about a week for the pain/soreness to go away)
-My Ortho Says i have to keep them on for about 2 year and a Half I will be 19 By then
- Don't know but If you don't brush your teeth it probably will
-Yes before I got my braces i got 8 teeth taken out.( 4 wisdom teeth, and 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom)
- For like the first 2 days yes but they it quickly healed for me
-Silver or Gray whatever you want to call it( lol i got green LMAO i was excited and i didn't care what color they were )
- It's never too late to have a perfect smile and no people over their 20's have braces.

i got them @ 11yrs.
Yes tey were sore
2 or 3 yrs.
no the glu dint stane
no i didnt have 2
yes if u did hav 2 extract ur toof, it willb sore
get clear- unnoticeable
17/18 not too old- my aunt just got them and shes in her 30 or 40z

Yes i have had braces i got them at the age of 13. They were sore after they were put on...and also when i first got them tightened. I had to keep them on for 2 years...and the glue did not stain my teeth. Fortunanly i was lucky enough not to have to get any teeth pulled. and the best color to get w/out being to noticable is like a yellow light green purple..ect. I hope this helped :) oh and 17/18 is not to old at all..

I got them at the age of 7 then at 12. They hurt after being put on but when they take them off they don't. Tightening doesn't hurt much either. My first phase was on for a year then my second was on for 18 months. The glue didn't stain mine but it can. Ya for my first phase I had to have 4 teeth extracted. They usually numb your mouth first so it's not so bad. They make clear bands you can't see. No I know someone 35 who got braces.

No you don't have to get an injection. they just put them on it will hurt alittle in the beginning but towards the end you get use to them and then they don't hurt.

I'm 11 and I'm getting them very soon my sis has them and there very pain full but they are stylish!

I have braces right now. It didnt hurt when i got them on but my mouth was very sore afterwards. Yes it hurts when you get them tightened for about a few days. It depends on how bad your teeth are really are. They sometimes will leave you with stains but sometimes they will go away eventually. I had to get four teeth pulled in order to make room for my canines in front. I didnt feel anything because i was numb from the tip of my nose to my chin. I got them on when i was 16 yrs old and its not bad to have braces at that age. i think that it is worth it so get them on.

U dont get any injections thank god. Ive had mine for 4 years, which isnt really typical. They dont hurt when they are put on, and I am getting mine off next month.=]

ya i had braces when i was 10. my teeth hurt for 3 days after they put the braces on. umm wen u tighten them, they hurt for a few hours. i had to keep em on for about 2 yrs. no, the glue didnt stain my teeth. no i didnt have to take out any teeth.. the best color would prob be white, silver or gray... 17/18 is not too old, my friend's bro had em at like 19, but had to wear them for 4 yrs cuz he chewed gum.

I'm 13 and I just got my braces removed. They are very annoying but you get used to them. They will be sore for about a week after you get them put in but they don't hurt to get put on. I only had them for a little over a year. 17/18 is pretty old I think, so they may take a bit more time to get done then mine did.

Good luck!
