What do you do if you don't want your braces anymore?!


Question:

What do you do if you don't want your braces anymore?

will someone take them off and why do you leave your braces on so long and your teeth are fixed after a few months?


Answers:

My first question to you is why do you want them off in the first place??? Either way, to answer you question, here it goes...

You can probably go to you Orthodontist, and they will take them off. However, and wouldn't recommend this. Even though it looks like your teeth straight, and seems that your teeth are fixed, they are not....

Your braces may not look like they're doing much, just sitting there in your mouth, but actually, there is something happening in your mouth every moment of your treatment. Picture your teeth resting in your jawbone. Your braces put pressure on one side of your teeth, and the bone on the other side gives way. The tooth moves and new bone grows in behind. Your teeth are also held into place by periodontal ligament. Kind of like muscles. When you wear braces, they basically stretch and tear these ligaments. If you take your braces off prior to these ligament reattaching and the bone growing back into the teeth in the correct positions, they will move right back where they were to begin with.

Stick in there and finish your treatment. You'll be disappointed in the long run if you don't!!!
