Braces coming off soon, advice?!?!
Question:
Braces coming off soon, advice?!?
Okay i've had my braces on for about 3 years now and im getting them off in 3 days. I'm nervous but definatley excited! Does it hurt and feel as uncomfortable as i've heard it does? Im especially nervous about the glue-scraping part because i have really sensative teeth. Any advice? Also, any great whitening products i can buy for afterwords?
Answers:
I wouldn't purchase any whitening products just yet, but I can give you some overall helpful advice. I have had my braces for FOUR years and just got them taken off last September. The process in itself isn't really all that uncomfortable. However the teeth scraping part is VERY uncomfortable. The air severely dries out your mouth, and there is an extremely cool sensation that goes along with it.
Keep in mind that levels of discomfort vary from person to person, so that means the process may be easier or more difficult for you to endure than the next person. As far as the teeth whitening goes, you might try asking the orthodontist what products he/she recommends for you.
I really hope that I helped, and best wishes to you on the braces removal and congratulations.
