I need to know stuff about braces?!


Question: I need to know stuff about braces?
How long does it take and what are the steps please tell me in detail. how long does each step take.

Answers:

the process of putting them on takes about 2 hours however the amount of time you have them on differs from person to person some take 1 year some take 2 etc... the steps are pretty much they polish your teeth to remove any unwanted substances, then they would take this thing to get the shape of your teeth for later use then they would apply a cement like thing to each of your teeth, and they would apply the square things for the braces and then the metal band to pull your teeth together, it doesn't really hurt at first, you just feel a lot of pressure depending on how bad your teeth are, but that feeling is just temporary ( about 1 week). each step depends on your dentist really...

i had braces...



it depends, I went on private (in UK) I had damon braces fitted which they do after a couple of visits and an x-ray (it's not bad, you just hold your head in place and a metal board slowly goes past your head) they then put the brackets on and a wire, this starts really thin and every time you go back a thicker wire is put in, straightening the teeth. Mine took about 2 years because one of my teeth was badly twisted round. Now I've had the metalwork taken out but have retainers which you have to wear all day for 3 months and then switch to nights for the rest of the time, if you dont wear the retainers then your teeth move back into the position they were before. thats about it of you go private which cost me around £2700 but I couldn't go on nhs because it wasn't bad enough and my granddad had paid for it



it depends i had mine on for almost 2 years. What they do is glue things onto your teeth and put a wire into them. the wire is held together by smaller wires. The only things that really hurts is when they put a bigger wire in to pull your teeth straighter . Or if they leave the wire too long stabbing into the back of your mouth



i've got braces and i keep asking questions like this, about how long it's going to take ect.. it depends on the individual and what state your teeth are in =]] hope i helped ://
