Braces really aren't that bad. I suffered for two years, but now I have nice pretty teeth. :] Don't let your friend scare you.
& spacers are just little ball-like things they put between your molars to help prepare for braces. They really don't hurt. Your teeth will probably be a little sore, but it's not unbearable.
Don't worry! :]
well if you have an overbite you wear rubber bands..which requires a brace. but if your overbite is really bad, your dentist would have said something....and braces arent that bad. straight teeth are definitely worth it
braces
west side 4 life braces 4 life
what??????read what you wrote
you need spacers then braces.
i think you will be okay. it only hurts for like a day. trust me i am on my 3rd round of braces. even if you get them it is all worth it. just relax! youll be fine!
it aint that bad.. and alright lets clear some things up.. spacers are whatu get in ur teeth that make "space" for ur bracess.. and no they don't hurt u don't feel them.. and yeah u will have rubber bands and they don't hurt either i had them.. i went through the whole braces thing when i was young so i don't have to worry about it now.. and i get complements on my straight teeth like everytday
If you don't think its that bad don't get braces.
But honestly braces and spacers are not that bad. Ive had both.
An I had a huge overbite.
Even though it may not look the best having them for two years you will have beautiful teeth when your done.
I would get the braces now while your young because in the future you may not be happy with your teeth.
When i was 5 I got a spacer. Honestly, they dont hurt AT ALL. Its like its not even there. My brother has one too and he isn't bothered by it either. So DON'T WORRY!
straight teeth are definitely worth the slight discomfort that may come from having braces for a little while.
if you have a sever overbite you will need top and bottom braces and rubber bands that will pull the jaw to the normal spacing. a spacer is for when you have a small pallet.
just get the braces, get nice teeth, and then you wont have to worry about it anymore.
and your dentist wont be the one to give you the braces so don't worry about how horrible he is. an orthodontist will be putting them on.
I had spacers, but I'm one lucky duck, I didn't get my expander, not because I didn't need them, because I wasn't ready (my gums are so sensitive, I started crying and it wasn't at the part where it was supposed to be painful yet...). You know I'm going to have to get braces, my teeth are crooked,and I have an overbite. Listen, I need to get braces for my crooked teeth, I need to get an expander for my overbite...so I think you need an expander, not braces, it's not supposed to be very painful...I think just when it gets put in (I'm just someone with sensitive gums, it shouldt't hurt too bad for you..). Plus an orthodontist does it, not a dentist...
well a spacer is a little uncoumftorble but not that bad just take some tylanol. I dont think braces hurt that bad but the fitting in the back is the worst part but it isnt that bad. I wear braces I just got them 3 months ago.
Well i don't have like a really noticeable over bite or really crooked teeth but i have to get braces because my teeth need more space i though i would just get a spacer but no i got braces top and bottom and elastics , but it the long run it's worth it cause tons of my friends teeth look great and they say now they feel better then ever, oh talking about braces that reminds me I'm getting my own tomorrow at 2:00 OMG!
first your dentist cannot put braces on you, you would need to be referred to an orthodontist.
secondly your friend is not a dentist and cannot tell if you have an overbite or not, an overbite is when your top teeth protrude over your bottom teeth by more than 3mm, to measure this a ruler is used when your teeth are closed to measure the distance between your bottom teeth to the tipof your top teeth holding the ruler towards the lips.
thirdly braces are not that bad, and you may not need rubber bands or spacers, spacers are sometimes but not always used when teeth need to be extracted.
fourth you will know if your going to the orthodontist as you will be in the dentists with your mum when the dentist will say im referring you to an orthodontist.
if you dont want braces you can tell your dentist or your orthodontist at the time, your mum cannot force you to get them as it will be YOU that is asked if YOU want them, they wont ask your mum if she wants you to have them.
From when i Had Braces, spacers were actually phase one of putting the braces on. They "space" out your back molars so the bracket can fit on.
Braces are not all that bad. Some guys think it's kinda cute and when you get them off you have straight teeth and everyone will think you look awsome
gosh chill out...............braces aren't that bad..............at least you wouldn't have a palet expander
