Hello everyone! I'm getting braces on July 3. Spacers on June 28. Please tell me the step or how they put the braces on. i want braces. but i dont want the pain. please help me so i dont get so scard. thank!
Answer:
***spacers dont hurt watsoever***pink and light blue are cute colors***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 colorsk
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 badthey give u a band on ur molars fiist, to see ur size and stufffirst 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 timethen 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!then 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 rightthen that is it!Ur done
but after u do it, ask ur doctor for dental wax, and rubber cover upwhen u get home use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluidsthen for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, and soft foods-avoid strawsevery 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 daysevery 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 cleanerdont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i am gettin em off on July 3-my friend says it acutally hurts more to get em off so yea
It's really not that bad. They just go in and glue everything on. The bands around your back molars, then the little metal pieces on each teeth to band the wire to... It's hard to explain, but not a bad process to endure I promise.

The spacers don't hurt AT ALL and it takes about 10 minutes, not even to get them put in. They're look like staples and just make space for the bands they put on your back teeth.I found it to be a little painful and really uncomfortable when they were putting on the bands because they have to try on a million sizes before finding the right size, and it does hurt a little to have them pulled on and off.The rest is cake- just gluing on the little metal brackets. Not painful AT ALL.Hopefully, your orthodontist won't have to file your teeth. I had to have my 4 front teeth filed, which is when he takes literally a nail file for your teeth and files inbetween extremely close teeth to make a little space. It hurts bad, and I mean really, really bad.
I had them years ago. Painwise, its not bad like getting tooth filled.but I would take couple of tylenol 1/2 hr before your appt time just so you'll be comfortable..after getting braces on, your teeth will be tender for couple of days. This procedure takes about couple of hours.so after appt, take another 2 tylenol. Then you should be okay.good luck!
Hey
Depending on how old you are the pain is marginal. I had them put on at 11 and then again at 23. Let me tell you, having them as an adult is not so much fun.
Anyway, the spacers or like thick, small rubbr bands they put btw. your molars so that when they put the brackets around your molars there is space.
The day you get the braces, you have probably taken some pill that makes your mouth dry out some so that the glue/cement will stick the brace to your tooth. Then they put the braces on, use some kind of ultraviolet light thing to cement them, then put the wires in. They will check to make sure nothing is poking you anywhere, go over proper care, what to and not to eat, and send you on your way with a bag full of stuff, including flossers that can get in btw the wires, wax (you put it on spots that may come up later that are poking you) and s/ other stuff.It's really not that bad, and totally worth it when you get them off, but there is some pain, just take some aleve or sthing and eat soft stuff, like soup, yogurt, etc. for a couple of days and you will be fine.Good luck
while it may be uncomfortable for a couple days, there is very little pain. for the first few days, stick to eating yogurt, mashed potatoes; soft foods
good luck!!
