My Dad is forcing me to get braces?!


Question: My Dad is forcing me to get braces?
Im a junior in high school and I dont think it is right for me to get braces. My irtho says I need braces and headgear. I was wondering how does braces and headgear feel? What is the process to get them placed? What are spacers for? ( i have 6). Will I be able to stitll play basketball?

Answers:

Yes, it is right for your father to force you to get braces. The teeth with spacers will have metal bands around them. These are the bands that will have the tubes for your headgear to fit into. If you get a traditional facebow, its not that big a deal...just some pressure. Just accept the fact that you will look a bit dorky for a year or two. And yes you will be able to take it out for sports. All though depending on how bad your overbite is...you may be asked to wear more than just nights.



Spacers are for spacing you teeth out, they are simply rubber bands between your teeth, and you should only have to wear the headgear at night, so basketball shouldnt be a prob.



i know its quite daunting but many people go through this and its not forever, when its all done you will have great teeth and trust me, later on in life you will be really grateful that you did it



BE GLAD HE'S PAYING THE HUGE BILL AND BE HAPPY IF YoU MUST ENDURE SOME PAIN WI8TH BRACES.
