Can someone tell me the process of getting braces ON thats all i want to know?!
Question: ***NEVER get white or clear bands cause white looks like food is stuck in ur braces and clear like it u eat ketchup or a lollipop or somethin, they stain
***they put the bands, and then every time u go back u get to choose new colors
k
i have gotton em on over 6 times (dont ask!)
it doesnt hurt dont worry-it is just a long process and it tastes kinda bad
they give u a band on ur molars fiist, to see ur size and stuff
first theu put this positioner thing is ur mouth, it makes your mouth stretch a lkot so they can see ur teeth, it will bother u for a minute or 2 but u will get used to it, u keep that thing on the WHOLE time
then there are these things that look like shots and stuff, i got really freaked out when i first saw them but actually, they dont go in ur mouth! this is the cement that they put on ur braces then they stick the braces on ur teeth
**the cement kinda tastes bad!
they do this the first time and every time u get them tightened:
they will put the rubber bands on ur braces with things that look like sisscors (they dont hurt) after that they put the wire-this is the most anoying part cause after they slip it in ur mouth, they have to cut it to make it fit right
then that is it!(the process is about 35 minutes)
Ur done
but after u do it, ask ur doctor for dental wax, dental cotton balls, and rubber cover up
***each person is different i bleed a little on the first day and i put a few cotton balls in my mouth for like 3 minutes
when u get home use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluids
then for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, pudding, jello, beans, yogurt, custard, fries, milkshakes, ice cream, and soft foods-avoid straws
every night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of days
every morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleaner
dont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i just got em off about four months ago-i luv my new smile!!!

if your worrying if the process hurts it truely doesnt.
They use a type of cement to put the brackets on each tooth and then use a light the hardens the cement. They then put the wire on to the brackets that is held on with rubber bands. That's it! They do slide a bracket over the back tooth on both sides top and bottom to anchor them. A few days before the braces go on they put a little rubber band like thing between the teeth in the back to make it easier to slip the brackets over the back teeth for the anchors. These anchors go all the way around the back teeth, the brackets are just glued on.
They will polish your teeth to remove any plaque. Then they will place a small amount of get (etch) on your tooth to prepare the tooth for the cement they will let this sit for several seconds then rinse it off. Then they use a type of bonding agent and use a high intensity blue light to cure it then they add the cement (tooth colored, composite filling material) then finally the bracket is pressed into the composite and the whole thing is light cured with the same high intensity blue light. When they are finished doing this to each tooth, they will place a wire connecting all of them. Hope this helps.
