Answers:


1 You do NOT want braces!. Trust me!. I used to want them too and I ended up having them for 5 years!. It really sucks!. You can't chew gum!. You constantly get stuff stuck in them!. I was soo happy when I got them off just last month!. Also they hurt a lot when you first get them and you can't chew anything!. I'm not saying they're HORRIBLE if you need them!. I'm just saying you shouldn't get them for no reason!.

2) It doesn't take long if you do get braces!. You have to wear spacer for a week(those things that go in between your teeth) and when you have those you can't chew anything hard or popcorn or anything!.

3) braces cost a lot!. my complete orthodontist treatment has been over 5000 dollars!. I'm not sure how braces alone cost!.

4) It's not like OWW the whole time!. But when you get them like the first week it does really hurt then you get used to them!. I remember I couldn't really eat anything for a week because they hurt a lot but you can take a motrin or something and it will help the pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They cost about 5 grand - which is a lot for straight teeth!.

It is pretty uncomfortable when they put them on because they are pulling your teeth in a certain direction, it also hurts a bit for a few days after each time you get them tightened - when your teeth are still getting moved around!.

I had braces for a year and a half, they were tightened every 6 weeks, and after about 10 months they stopped hurting when they were tightened, because then they are just keeping them in place not pulling on them!.

If you do end up getting them, once you get them off make sure you wear your retainer though, or else they move back to the way the were before you got braces - then its wasted money!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The cost for braces:
traditional braces (metal) - around 4,000-4,500
ceramic braces - around 6,000
3M smartclip braces (metal) - around 7,000
3M smartclip braces (ceramic) - around 8,000
Lingual braces - around 9,500- 10,000
invisalign braces - around 10,000- 12,000

And i think it does hurt a little because they glue it on, and your teeth kinda are forced together but it will only hurt for a day or something it depends!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Braces suck, first of all, you're crazy for wanting them!. This is my opinion though!.!.!.

No, it takes about 1 hour to set them up!. It depends though because some orthodontists will only give you the metal part while others will give you colored brackets in ADDITION to the metal parts!.

Do not worry about the braces cost, your parents shall pay for them!. However, I do hear that they are around 400 dollars because you will keep going into the orthodontist to tighten them!. There is extra charge if you break a bracket!.

It hurts a little bit when you get them, but it hurts more when they are tightened for the first and second time!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

omg you do NOT!!! first of all, i had them once and now i have to get them BACK ON!! its really suxx! 1st of all you cant eat anything that is crunchy, chewy, sticky, hard, or sugary which narrows it down to!.!.!.!.!.!.um like nothing! really, how do they expect you to survive!? anyhow, yeah, they cost a lot so really listen to the rules and dont play with them cuz they'll break and your parents will be ticked they have to pay extra!. it doesnt hurt as much when you GET them as the next day!. they will put them on super tight so your teeth feel like they are being sqweezed by a lemon-juicer and you cant feel your gums!. dont run your tongue over them a lot cuz chances are some of them (at least at MY orthodontist) get a bit lazy and leave a wire hanging out a little and then you get a cut tongue!. use the wax, it sux to taste but it works and it sooo smooth!. dread the day you have to get them retightened (which is every ortho appt) and totally hate/love the day you get them off! it feels like they are wrenching them off with a fricken pair of pliers and then they attempt to take the glue off with some kind of freakish drill/saw and they file down your tooth! hurts really bad but after it is soooo worth it!. after you get your braces off i really really reeally really really suggest you get a dentist appt and have your teeth clean!. then brush your teeth all the time and you'll have pearly whites!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

wow!.!.!. Well you need to go to a orthodontist to even make sure you need them!. Braces isn't a joke! It costs around $4000-6000 no joke!. How old are you!? The age you should be even thinking about them is 13 and up!. They hurt like crazy for days and even more when you have to get them tightened every month!. Oh and you have to have them for at least a year and a half up to 3 years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do you WANT braces or do you NEED them!. You can't get them if you don't need them, but if you do need them, yes!.!.!. there is a process!. Orthodontists have to wait for a perfect time to put them on!.!.!. I don't know how old you are but I think they try to avoid putting braces on kids under 11 or 10 because their teeth aren't fully developed!. Also, braces are very expensive!. Your mother may be figuring out some finances!.

My advice is though, if you're around the ages 12-13, get them as soon as possible! I didn't get mine on until I was 14 and I was stuck with them all through high school; I didn't get them off until one week before my senior prom! They don't really hurt!.!.!. it's just an annoying feeling!. They hurt afterward, because they're so awkward and hard to get used to!. When you frequently go to the orthodontist for check-ups, they will tighten your braces and that hurts a lot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You think you want braces until you actually have the suckers filling twice the space of your mouth, making your teeth kill, and breaking wires off that dig into your gums and keep you in pain for weeks!.
I guess if your teeth suck, you should get them but they do suck to wear!. They cost like $3000 but maintenance and checkups and everything is includedWww@Answer-Health@Com

You set an appointment with an orthodontic specialist and you get the ball rolling!. Depending on your insurance, you may need a referral from your primary dentist!. The ortho may need to get the ok from the insurance!. It costs anywhere between 3-5 grand!. FYI don't bother with the invisaligns (spelling!?) they are still visible and much more expensive!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

ew why want braces!? lol if you teeth are bad i understand i had mine too but now their off and i couldn't be happier i hated them so much i wanted to rip them off myself lol!. but retainers aren't much better lol

it costs A LOT
depending on who your orthodontist and how bad your teeth are etc!.
you have to go meet with an orthodontist!.
depending on a lot of things is how long it will take!. my brother got his in about a month or less!. i had to wait because of money issues but got mine on a month or so after that!.
it doesn't hurt when you get them on but the next day or so your mouth is going to be really sore!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i didnt like my braces!. they are fun when you first get them on, but then your teeth start hurting and stuff!. it took them like 2 hours to put it on, and it costed in the $1000 for me!. but all in all, my teeth look pretty good!. you feel so great when you get them off and you look at your teeth!. theyre really nice!. so good luck!.!.=)

ok they can cost anywhere from 2-6 thousand depending on the problem with your teeth!. you'll have a few appointments before you get your braces, probably for about 1-6 months depending on how busy the ortho's office is at the time!. It hurts to eat until you get used to them!.
good luck hope this helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com

uhhh!.!.!.!.yea, braces hurt, i have em!.!.!.and depending on what you have done, the price differs!.!.!.!.!.to actually get them on, cost 5000 dollars!.!.!.and yes, there are THREE zeros on that!.!.!.!.!.!.!.but it depends on what else you have done, like movement, and rotation ect!. but!.!.!.!.!.i dont see why you would want them!.!.!.!.!.!.they hurt really bad, and you cant eat half the food you usually can, i havent had popcorn or taffy in 4 years!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.you do NOT want braces!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Are your teeth separated to much!? Does the dentist say that!? If he does, then you'll probably have to get braces!. Braces aren't for decoration and don't get excited because some braces are very nerdy looking!.!.!. It wont hurt when get them, because they have a type of pain killer during your treatment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It depends on how good your teeth are in the first place!. I had expanders, which added $2000 dollars to the fee!. There are also different types, glass, clear plastic, metal, etc!.
Mine were metal and were $5000; total = $7000 not including other fees!.
If you have sensitive teeth, it will hurt!. If not, it'll just be uncomfortable, bordering on painful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

1!.really need it,
2!.don't mind the pain(its not HORRIBLE, but still ver bad!.!.)
