Braces!?!?!
Question: I have a wire sticking out of my braces and I shoved it up my braces like i usually do to give me some peace from it for 5 minutes.
EXCEPT just now I accidentally shoved it up a bit too hard and now I think it's caught.
I'm super scared it's messing up my teeth, because I can feel the impact of it, and I'm getting my braces off around march 26th.
Help!!! Is it moving my teeth? Am I going to need like 6 more months of braces?
DDDDDDDDDDDDDD:
PLEASE HELP

you're teeth can't move very much in a little more than 1 week. you'll be fine. just work on it a little to get it back, and if it doesn't, dont worry about it
well i think u shud go to the ortho bcuz he will fix it and u can get ur braces off sooner. i broke a bracket and the doc fixed and i got them off sooner then later.
I'm sorry, but there really is nothing else to do but schedule an ortho. appt. You braces may need to be fixed and they're the only ones who can do so. My orthodontist encourages me to call or come in anytime I feel something poking or something has broken..I'm sure yours wouldn't mind. They probably get a lot of "emergency visits".
better get to doctor before it gets infected.
well, is it worth it not to go to the orthodontist? think about it, would you rather be embarrassed for 30 min or have 6 more months of braces? its really your choice.
Well i try to fix it... I've had problems myself w braces but I don't really mess w them... if u can't fix it then I'm sorry 2 say u prob. should go 2 the orthodontist
go see your orthodontist/dentist/ (tip:anytime you know or even just think somthing is wrong CONTACT YOUR DENTIST.its either that,or 'bout 2-6 months of MORE braces.
im 10 and getting mine wendsday 19,2008.
Now I know this may sound stupid. But yes go to the ortho. If you do not get this fixed your teeth will be messed up, infection in the mouth, cuts in your mouth, and you'll have to wear your braces even longer. Now if you dentist gave you some solid wax, put it over the pointy end of the wire. This will solve any discomfort but only temporarily. The replacement of the wire should only take 10 - 15 minutes.
