im sad to see this :< unfortunately yes the most common ones are translucent teeth, your gums will be kind of a reddish, purplish colour around the edge after a while, the teeth will start to rot and soon it will be noticable!. the orthodontists and dentists would know by now they can tell the people who smoke, drink, take drugs and in your case bulimic!. if you have clear braces it will be noticable as there will be remains on the inside of the bracket and on the elastic!. all the stomach acids wreck not only the teeth but the cheeks (they dont go puffy by the way just to let you noe :>) , your tongue (up the back) and ecspecially the throat!. someone might say it to you one day but dw worry they wont tell anyone unless its really serious or starts to become really obvious!. they will keep your problems quite if you wish!.good luck anyways hope you can beat this horrible disease ;>Www@Answer-Health@Com

Probably about 3 to 4 months because it will take about that long to wear off the enamel!.!.!.!. The longer term issue is more of a vitamin deficiency issue!.!.!.

The biggest concern with bulimia is more of wearing a hole the esophagus!. This is common in bulimics, and is very difficult to treat!. Meaning, if this ever happens, you will have about a 30% chance in living!.!.!.

Good Luck and I Hope this Helps!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
