Answers:
I had braces from age 15-18, and I didn't want them!. You will be sore on the first day and for several weeks after until your mouth adjusts to having something new !.!.!. also you may experience more saliva when you get them this is normal - don't be alarmed!. Your brain thinks your new braces are food so your saliva glands produce more fluid!. You can get either clear elastics or a rainbow of colors, depends on your taste, and you'll be asked at each appt which you would like when you get your braces "adjusted"!. Pain is hell during the period of time when they do this, but it should go away, but beware it will return until you complete treatment because you have to keep having adjustments to make your teeth straighter!. In my opinion the only stylish braces are NO BRACES at all, or the new invisalign kind because you cannot see them!. I didn't have invisalign i went through the regular metal brackets/band changes kind and pain is hell with those!. For pain, you can get over the counter throat spray but if pain still persists beyond like a week then you should stop and consult a doctor!. Read the label!. Your braces being put on should not take long at all maybe 1-3 hours, usually 1!.!.!. You cannot eat hard candy, especially caramel, and corn on the cob!. You should brush your teeth more frequently with braces too, same as you would before them, but more so because your braces should be kept clean in general to avoid cavities under them!. Alot of people will be working around you when you get your braces put on including the orthodontist, so be ready for noisy environment you'll have them plus other patients and other people around them in the next chairs over either side of you!. Your family members or a friend may sit with you during the process and/or nearby in a chair for each appt so you need not go through it alone! Mom sat through the whole time i had mine done and she came to each appt with me!. If you would rather do this alone though there should be a waiting room in the office, just ask for your friend/family to wait there!. After your braces are done you will have a mold of your teeth done and this will be used to make a retainer for you!. It will be either clear or metal!. Clear you can take out but not recommended!. Metal you can't remove!. Retention in order for it to work and for your teeth to remain the way the were after braces get removed, will last the rest of your life!. If you don't wear them or if your retainers don't fit well you may need to have braces treatment all over again!. (You'll get a paper on this before you leave the office at your last appt when you get braces off and molding gets done)!. You should also clean your retainer the same as you would your teeth when you brush them!. I use toothpaste on my retainers it's fine but leaves retainers cloudy so they look dirty, i don't recommend tooth paste!. Again check the paper about retention that you get, it will explain how to properly clean your retainers too!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I got braces when I was 14 too!. My 9th-11th grade years I had to wear braces, but worse was these things called herpkes (spell check)!. You are so lucky you don't have to go through that!. Braces aren't so bad, you will be so sore the day after but after that everything will be fine!. I didn't even really need the wax and stuff!. They will tell you what you can't eat (gum, popcorn, etc!.) And make sure that if you get the color changed of your wires that you don't do dark colors!. From far away, this can look funny lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

well there is alot to expect!.!.!.achey teeth (aleeve is really good for the pain), more dental hygenie,etc!. there aren't STYLISH braces, but some people look good in braces!. trust me, almost every person in your school will have braces!. your orthodontist will give you a list of what you cant eat!. don't get clear bands on your braces, because they can look like food!. just smile and you will get used to them, even if you scratch up your gums/ get your teeth stuck in them!.

um they suck but you can eat about anything if you get a pick!.and i think you are best off getting normal braces(cheaper)Www@Answer-Health@Com
