My teeth are kinda like Keyshia Cole's teeth and i dont want braces(mental ones) how esle can i make my teeth straight without mental braces.....
How can make your teeth straighter without braces?
SO THAT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE A SMALL GAP, JUST GET THEM BONDED OR MAYBE THOSE CLEAR TRAYS THAT FIT TO YOUR TEETH. YOUR DENTIST SHOULD KNOW OTHER OPTIONS. CHECK IT OUT ON THE INTERNET.

Reply:Invisalign, they use a sequence of plastic retainers that aren't nearly as obvious as metal braces.

your dentist can determine if they will work for you.
Reply:Only braces.But there is a new kind of braces not the metal ones these new kind of braces are invisible ones i mean they are transparent and they are so good.I had does a year ago and no one noticed it.Hope you find these kind of braces in your place.
Reply:stop sucking your thumb
Reply:Sometimes its possible to have a device that is like braces but removable. Allows you to only put it on at night so it bothers you less (since you sleep) and you can still smile to your friends without shame (not that there is any shame in having braces).
Best is to ask your dentist though.
Reply:You can get clear braces. My orthodontist made me that suggestion, you can't straighten teeth with out braces. BE PREPARED TO SPEND MONEY! They cost a lot! Sorry.

How straight should your teeth be after braces?
I had braces a few years ago and I always wear my retainer, but my front teeth still stuck out a bit more than the others. It might be partly because they're bigger, which braces can't really help. Also when I bite a few teeth on one side don't feel flush. At the time I assumed it was because they were worn crooked from before I had braces. Also I don't always know where to find my bite because my jaw clicks and moves around which I just found out is not normal. There's not much I could do about it now, though, since I've moved away from where I go tthem done before.
How straight should your teeth be after braces?
i got my braces off a few months ago..and i swear half the time im paranoid that my teeth are crooked or something, but they arent! if they were, you ortho woukld ask you if youre still wearing your retainer properply or doing this or that, if you teeth had moved back to how they were, he/she probabaly might have mentioned getting braces AGAIN..so since he hasnt...your probabaly fine
sometimes when i bite down i feel that my teeth dont exactly line up either..it is strange but i dont let it bother me
i know allllllll about that jaw-clicking
its so weird. i had it before i got my braces and like i woukldnt even need to open my mouth veery far and it would just click, it didnt hurt at all, but it just clicked and it was actually quite loud too. anyways, i got ym braces and then i had to wear elastics for a long time becaus eof my overbite and i found that with elastic si could hardly open my mouth..so for the longest time i just didnt click my jaw anymore...and now its beenm like 2 years or some, and when i open my mouth as wide as i can, they dont click
soooo, this may sound crazy, but you can just avoid the clicking at all costs and itll eventually go away, or talk to your dentist about it, ive told my ortho and dentist before. honestly, i can remmeber what they said but they didnt seem concerned or worried about it
i hope some of this has helped!

Teeth moved after braces?
I had my braces removed and had a permanent wire glued in but I noticed today that several of my teeth on the bottom row moved outward and I think one side of the wire moved slightly upward.
I'm going to the orthodontist soon but I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone before and what the orthodontist did
Teeth moved after braces?
Sounds like you needed a retainer after your braces. They might need to give you one.
Reply:it happened to people I know, and they had to get their braces put back on.
Reply:my braces came of about 2 weeks ago. I now have a plastic retainer that was moulded to my teeth after my braces came off so they dont move- you could ask to get one of these?
Reply:i have a lower wire as well, whenever they took mine off they urged me to wear my retainer on top..but i never did. I'm going in again as well because my top teeth have moved. they might suggest you wear braces again for a little while...depending on the orthodontist....
Reply:USE YOUR PLASTIC RETAINER
Make sure that you faithfully use you retainer. My son had his braces removed about 2 years ago and uses the clear plastic retainer every night.
Many years ago I also had braces but did not use my retainers and now my bottom teeth are not straight.

Teeth whitening with braces?
Can you use anything to whiten your teeth while having braces?
Teeth whitening with braces?
Omg I was wondering the same thing! WHen you go to the orthodontist next, ask him/her, that's what I'm gonna do. Good luck! :-)
Reply:You shouldn't. Braces are cemented to your teeth, so any whitening solution you use will not affect the part of your teeth the braces are attached to. You might end up with braces-sized stains on your teeth.
Reply:Not worth it.
When you take off your braces you'll have yellow spots on your teeth and it'll look funny. Wait it out....
Reply:It doesn't matter coz your teeth would still look ugly with the braces on. Just wait till you get those beautiful straight teeth then bleach it to have an overall perfect smile.
Reply:shouldnt they already be white if you have braces? cause you know you have to brush like 299 million times a day
Reply:just brush. when you take off your braces you'll have yellow boxes in each tooth. That's why I waited until i got my braces taken off.
Reply:no but you can go to a regular dentist and they can clean them.. i got mine done today.. and they are pearly white!!
Reply:yes, theres listerine which takes away bad breath and gets teeth whitening, thats what i use
Reply:i use the dissovlable listerine whitening strips
i cut one in half then put them on my bottow and top
its kinda tricky, but its definitely working
Reply:You could do tooth whitening if you found a tray style product that will go over the braces. The cement keeping the braces on actually keeps that area decay free and stain free. It is the rest of the area that will get stained by drinks, food, smoking and wine. Yes, the best is to brush, floss (if you got that fancy floss for braces) and swish.
You will still likely have some colour difference when they come off but your ortho will get the cement off. The yellow people are saying about is bc their friends probably have un maintained "clear braces"
Reply:I do agree that the best to WHITENED your teeth is after the braces treatment is done. In that case your dentist will advice you to have dental cleaning first to remove all the remaining cements after braces removal and to make sure that your teeth surfaces all cleaned and free from minor stains...and after that process and U still wish to do WHITENING...then go ahead my dearie...always nice to have a white and healthy teeth......
Reply:Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries but certain precautions have to be taken. I found the information at http://www.aches.in/toothwhitening.html

How long before your teeth look straight under the braces??
Ok so im getting braces soon (yay no more bad teeth) but I was wondering how long it takes before you appear to have straight teeth? Of course the braces still would have to be on for ages longer but at leaste to Have straight teeth under the braces. How long ussually does that take???? THANK YOU xxx xxx
How long before your teeth look straight under the braces??
Hmmmm... well it really depends on how bad your teeth are. I had buck teeth and they literally started going in about 2 months, but if you have really bad teeth then it will probably be about 4 months until you see real results, but then they will start moving really quickly. BTW, if you feel pissed off about your braces at any time, DO NOT GO ON FEELING ANNOYED! I was always irritated about them but now that I've got them off IT WAS SO WORTH IT!! So yeah, there's my advice! I hope it all goes well xx
Reply:It's so surprising how fast your teeth move. You'll most likely see a huge change within the first couple of months. Even after the first month, I saw a noticeable change.
Reply:at least a year. It isn't a short process at all.
Reply:It all depends on how bad your teeth were to begin with and what treatment plan your orthodontist has for you.
Reply:It has everything to do with the type of problem that's being corrected. If you had "crooked teeth" it doesn't take very long at all... a few months at most. But if you have an "over bite"... that requires about 2 full years of Orthodontic treatment.
Good Luck!
Reply:i am going to have my braces on for like 2 and half years..i am on my 2nd year i could tell by like the first 4months i could see some change.

I had 4 baby teeth removed. They just were not going to come out. Then 4 adult teeth were removed. And my 4 wisdom teeth were removed. You'd think I have none left. It was definitly worth it. I get a lot of comments about how nice my teeth look.

Reply:not me
Reply:I had 9 teeth removed, 5 adult teeth, 4 baby teeth. 3 were from under my gum so i had to have stitches in my mouth and now i have no canines but thats not recognizable.
But it's all worth having the straight teeth!!
Reply:I had four teeth extracted for braces. Straight teeth were definately worth having healthy teeth removed.

Wisdom teeth removal with braces on?
i am having all four of my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow..two are impacted.. and i have braces on top and bottom teeth..any advice?
Wisdom teeth removal with braces on?
Yes i have the same situation, or at least had. I had to get all myt 4 removed. BUT, the doc told me, that it should removed 1 at a time. with a few days gap, preferably week gap (as i had). removing them is a big thing as they are permanent teeth with deep roots. I couldnt even eat properly, with the removal of one, with my mouth swelling. I had to get stiches with the bottom 2, as they were impacted. So, I dont know why ur doc is saying to get them all out at once. That is a lot of injury to take at one time. Maybe get a second opinion.
ANd also, it is advisable to get either top braces or lower first. Not both at once. As the pain gets alot. So it should be done with time. I got my lower ones after 2 months since the top was put on.
Not trying to scare u, but just warn u that it might not be best to get all removed at one. IT takes time for the injury to heal
wait, did u say u already had ur braces on? Well if u do, then well no problem in that regard. ONly about removing the wisdom all at once.
Reply:THIS SHOULD NOT PSE A PROBLEM AT ALL. JUST FOLLOW THE DOCTOR'S INSTRUCTIONS TO PREVENT DRY SOCKET. SOME GOOD INF IS FOLLOWING:
Dry Socket
information from the Atlanta Dental Group PC
In a patient with a dry socket, blood does not fill up the extraction socket or the blood clot is lost. The gums can not grow over the extraction socket because there's nothing to grow over and the hole remains open. This opening causes a constant dull throbbing pain and the patient can often have a foul smelling breath and bad taste in the mouth. Ear pain is another possible dry socket symptom.
It's called a dry socket because the hole, or socket, that the tooth used to fit into becomes dry. It begins hurting about three days after oral surgery. Unfortunately, the pain lasts about a week after it begins. The dental name is acute alveolar osteitis. Acute means all of a sudden. Alveolar is the name of the bone that supports teeth. -itis means inflamed and osteo- means bone. Osteitis means bone inflammation. Acute alveolar osteitis means sudden inflammation of the bone that supports a tooth.
Dentists don't know exactly what causes a dry socket. It occurs more with lower teeth than upper teeth and more with females than males. The problem occurs more often after difficult extractions. It may be that forceful pushing against the wall of the socket when the tooth is being removed causes the walls of the tooth socket to become crushed. This prevents bleeding into the socket because the blood vessels have been crushed closed. The lack of blood then causes severe pain.
Anything that dislodges the clot can cause a dry socket. Forceful spitting or sucking though a straw can pull a clot completely out of its socket. Patients should wait a day before rinsing with warm salt water to avoid dissolving the new blood clot. When salt water rinsing, spit gently to avoid pressure. Carbonated beverages should be avoided because they may bubble the clot out. Alcoholic drinks can dry out the blood clot and prevent healing. Avoid smoking for a few days after dental extractions because smoking can disturb clot formation. Patients who have recently had oral surgery should avoid anything that may irritate the socket or anything that may cause the clot from being dislodged. Follow our oral surgery post operative instructions carefully to avoid dry socket treatment.
GOOD LUCK!
Reply:Hi!
I am an Oral Surgeon and have practiced for 27 years. The removal of all 4 wisdom teeth at once is the routine procedure. If you have an Oral Surgeon do it, there shouldn't be any problem. We are trained for surgery and actually, removal of teeth and wisdom teeth is one of the easier things for us. Just remember to follow all of the post-operative instructions very closely so your recovery will be quick and comfortable.
It is INSANE to remove these teeth one at a time. If you do 1 or 2 or all 4, you will still have the same amout of pain afterwards, which will be easily taken care of with a prescription pain killer. You will still take the same amount of medication whether you do 1 tooth or 4. If you do 1 or 4 teeth, you will still be eating soft foods for a few days, still be keeping ice on for the swelling, etc, etc. So, whether you do 1 or 4 teeth, your post -op experience will essentially be the same. If you do all 4, then you will be done and not have to do this again (medication, soft foods, ice, etc).
If you are paying for this, it is also cheaper doing all 4 at once - only 1 anesthesia vs 2, or 4.
Teeth that are impacted usually require a little more work than those that are erupted. Sometimes we use a dental drill and cut them in half to make it easier to remove them. This is not a problem and will not hurt. The fact that you have braces on will not effect the procedure.
It's good that your'e having these widsom teeth removed, because if left there, they can push forward and cause anterior tooth crowding and ruin your nice orthodontic treatment.
Find a good, compassionate Oral Surgeon who has a gentle touch and you won't have any problems! Good luck.
Reply:Buck is straight, you see, so full marks to him. For the clean and straight job, seek recommendations from friends for an oral surgeon.

Getting 4 teeth pulled for braces?
Hey, I am going to get 4 teeth pulled for braces and I was wondering if it hurts when they do it. I heard people had open sockets (what's that?) and holes in their gums... Is there unbearable pain? How long does it hurt? Can I eat my reg. foods?
Getting 4 teeth pulled for braces?
I had 4 teeth pulled at once~ but they put me to sleep for it. they gave me pain medicne for it afterwards but I didnt use it that much i was ok with tylenol. i dont have a high tolerance for pain, and everyones tolerance is different but i was ok with tylenol. i only used the percription once or twice
good luck
the first day /day after i ate jellos, puddings and slim fast was recommended by the dentist for the vitamins /nutrients.

Im also getting 4 teeth pulled out,on the same day.Will that hurt?Whats the procedure???
Help!!!!
Getting 4 teeth pulled out,braces,and a spacer to widen my mouth.....will it hurt????
I had 4teeth out for my brace, i got put alseep so i dont remember having it done but what i can remember it wasnt to sore after wards, bit achy tho!
Getting braces dont hurt they can be a bit sensitive when they first go on when there tightened %26amp; they can ache a bit after wards but its not anythink bad!
As for the spacer i havent got a clue!
Hope all goes well tho
Reply:OMG your like already dead. Your braces will hrt soooo much i got them also and spacers the rubber band kind and the one that goes on the roof of your mouth. They suck omg i feel bad for you. it will take about 2 or 3 weeks so the pain will go away.
Reply:I'm assuming you're getting your wisdom teeth pulled, and braces put on. From what i've heard, braces can hurt to have them put on, but some pepole it doesn't hurt.
As for having a tooth pulled, it's the few days after ward that hurt.... just the healing process.
Don't worry too much, in a week or two, it will all be over with.
(I'm getting two of my wisdom's pulled tomorrow.... aaaahhhhhhrrrrhhhhhh!!!!)
Reply:it is very painful, not gonna lie, but well worth it in the end!
Reply:braces hurt a bit for about 1-3 weeks (I don' have them, I'm getting them, this is what my friends say)
as for the teeth pulled- I've gotten a crown, which is supposedly more painful, and I didn't feel a thing. Admittedly it was pretty sore afterwards, but it went away pretty quick.
Spacer? Never heard of it, lol...
Over all, I think you'll be fine, don't worry, if you are, bring a cd-player, or an ipod. I listened to twilight by stephenie meyer when I got my crown on, it kept my mind off the process. Twilight is really intriguing the first time around.
Reply:Getting a spacer to widen your mouth will probably hurt. Getting braces will also hurt too. Expect more pain to correct your teeth alingments. Pain will have to come into effect and eat a lot of soft things.
Reply:A BIT BUT IS NOT INTOLERABLE

(I'm getting two of my wisdom's pulled tomorrow.... aaaahhhhhhrrrrhhhhhh!!!!)
Reply:it is very painful, not gonna lie, but well worth it in the end!
Reply:braces hurt a bit for about 1-3 weeks (I don' have them, I'm getting them, this is what my friends say)
as for the teeth pulled- I've gotten a crown, which is supposedly more painful, and I didn't feel a thing. Admittedly it was pretty sore afterwards, but it went away pretty quick.
Spacer? Never heard of it, lol...
Over all, I think you'll be fine, don't worry, if you are, bring a cd-player, or an ipod. I listened to twilight by stephenie meyer when I got my crown on, it kept my mind off the process. Twilight is really intriguing the first time around.
Reply:Getting a spacer to widen your mouth will probably hurt. Getting braces will also hurt too. Expect more pain to correct your teeth alingments. Pain will have to come into effect and eat a lot of soft things.
Reply:A BIT BUT IS NOT INTOLERABLE

Getting 4 teeth extracted for braces?
I am just looking for reassurance that getting for teeth (bicuspids I think) removed for braces is not as bad as I think.
I think the dentist will be removing them all at once, and I WILL be awake.
Has anyone got any advice?
How long will it take for all 4?
Do people typically get the teeth removed BEFORE the braces are put on?
Getting 4 teeth extracted for braces?
My advice would be to not sweat it to much. They'll likely give you some novocaine to numb it or some laughing gas, so you won't feel it when it happens (though it will hurt the next day, sorry to say).
It shouldn't take to long, for four teeth though I'd guess anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how the dentist goes about it.
And yes, people do normally get teeth pulled before getting braces, because sometimes the braces wouldn't be able to straighten all the teeth otherwise and it would be pointless to even get braces then.
Reply:ya i got the same thing done...i had laughing gas though so obvoiusly i dont remember it and i didnt feel a thing. dont worry they will probably do the same thing to you unless you have crappy insurence
Reply:My friend had several teeth removed before braces were put in, i think thats normal
Reply:They give you some shots to numb the pain. I got two teeth pulled quite recently and that's why I stopped to read and answer your question. But, it doesn't hurt too bad, just like a slight pulling on your gums, the shots are the worst, and they aren't even that bad.
Best Wishes!
Reply:Yeah, they dope you up enough where you won't even feel it. Just get used to eating yogurt, and mashed corn for a while because that's all you'll be able to eat. But in all seriousness it isn't as bad as it sounds. The orthodontist understands how uncomfortable it can be, so they do their best to help out.
Reply:I had braces a looong time ago but also had to get 4 teeth removed, all adult teeth. I had too many teeth for my small mouth.
The teeth were removed, the braces went on, and 6-months later I had a great set of teeth (and still do).
Trust your dentist but if you're really worried I would get a 2nd opinion.
Reply:Don't listen to the people who say it hurts. You're awake because they put a shot in your mouth (painless). Believe me there is nothing at all to worry about. I promise.
Reply:Yes i have had this done before try 8 teeth all at once awake! well i had my 1st 4 teeth on top for my braces on when i got them pulled and no it doesnt hurt at all all you feeel is a lil tugging when they pull the teeth and you'll be numb and the shots just hurt a lil... like a little pinch..... and 4 teeth shouldnt take long at all maybe 30 min or less :] Good Luck =] it will be ok!
Reply:i had that exact treatment done
you want the truth???
you are awake they inject you in mouth so half of your face goes numb you feel a tiny scratch they pull your tooth out with pliers which you can't feel anyway
you need two appointment 2 teeth for each i think
Reply:If you need to, you have to get them taken out to make room to straighten the teeth. It won't be so bad since you will have freezing. The worse you think about it the more scared you will be. My brother did it and he is a chicken so I wouldnt worry! Good Luck!
Reply:My son had some teeth pulled before braces. That's how it's usually done. It would be harder to remove them once the braces are in place. They will give you plenty of Novocaine, so you won't feel any pain. You might feel a little tugging, but it doesn't hurt. Afterward you should take some ibuprofen (Advil), because you might have a little discomfort once the Novocaine wears off, but it won't be anything you can't handle. Good luck!
Reply:It's not uncommon to have teeth removed before getting braces. It helps eliminate overcrowding problems.
I'm guessing they'll wait a while after the extractions to let your mouth settle down.
Extractions are typically pretty fast assuming their are no complications like impactions.
Ask for some nitrous gas if you're not going to be otherwise sedated. It will help the time feel as if it's going faster.
Reply:The braces I don't don't really no about so I can't help w/ that
The teeth being pulled out, I know a thing or two... It won't hurt because they numb your mouth with novacaine and then they give u tyleneol w/ codeine. The makes you sleep all day. You can't eat anything hard for a few days. And you have to rinse your mouth with salt and warm water for about a week and a half. Other then that your good.
Reply:I actually just got braces on a month ago and teeth pulled, and yes they usually pull teeth before you get them on if your mouth is overcrowded because it gives your teeth space to shift. I didn't get any gas or valium when I got my teeth pulled (2 molars). They just numbed my mouth and pulled, the pressure is kinda weird but you don't feel any pain. Plus they give you pain meds after so any pain you may feel will be easily treated. GOOD LUCK!! AND DON'T WORRY PEOPLE GET TEETH PULLED EVERY DAY!! :)
Reply:well extracting the teeth doesnt hurt as much as when you first put the braces, you wont eat for several days you will only drink liquids ( water, soup, milkshakes)
Reply:I got 4 too! all at once!!!
Yeah, it really wasn't that bad. Especially since your getting yours all at once because then you only have to go through getting your mouth numbed and the blood 2 times.
My advice for you is to EAT ALOT before the appt, like I went to Bob Evans and ate crepes and sausages b4 my appt but i was too nervous to eat it all, so afterward i was hungry but its very hard to eat with gauze in your mouth. so dont be nervous and eat a lot so you wont be starving like i was.
And the morning after you get them pulled there will be blood and crap stuck to your toungue and the roof of your mouth, so try to drink a lot of water to prevent the caking.
And... relax while they pull your teeth because i didnt and i got SO dizzy i thought i would pass out. and i saw double. so relax and hold someones hang.
i had braces on while they pulled them but i think its more normal to have em pulled b4 you get them.
hope i helped and good luck!!! :)

Reply:This was many, many moons ago but I had the same thing done to me before I got my braces put on. 4 permanent teeth removed, all done at the same time. I have a small jaw and needed to have the teeth removed so it would be less crowded then the teeth could shift around and become straight when the braces were put on. I was awake when it was done but was given shots of novacaine so I didn't feel any pain. Afterwards you'll be numb for awhile and packed with cotton. Your dentist may give you some tylenol with codine or you might be fine with just Advil.
Reply:i got a tooth pulled and it DOES NOT hurt at all. no lie. u can even feel it. they only part that u can kind of feel is when they give u the novicane. but thats the worst part. i have to get teeth removed when i get my braces. and i dont think its that bad

Overlapping Front Teeth (Already had braces)?
I had braces about 7 years ago. I wore a retainer afterwards like I was supposed to and they were perfectly straight. I now notice my front teeth are overlapping a little bit. Do you think this is because of my wisdom teeth? I really hate to get braces again but I think I might have to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Overlapping Front Teeth (Already had braces)?
they could be extracted or ucould have ura or a invislign
Reply:Whoa...Hey, run don't walk to your dentist. If you do have wisdom teeth coming in they can certainly mess up the alignment of your teeth. Your retainer can't do anything about that..get to your DDS, ASAP...Good luck and I wish you well.
Reply:Yes, it is most likely the wisdom teeth, but have you still been wearing your retainers at night? That helps prevent the teeth from moving. Anyways, normally they require you to have your wisdom teeth out now if you get braces to prevent this.

Wisdom teeth removal for braces?
My orthodontist told me that I have got to get 4 pre molars removed for braces, in order to make enough room for the rest of my teeth to get into line.
Can I not wait for my wisdom teeth to come out and instead get them pulled instead of my pre molars?
wisdom teeth are useless I hear, so I do not understand why I cannot wait for then to erupt and then have them removed instead of my pre molars.
Wisdom teeth removal for braces?
There must already be crowding for him to want to remove 4 pre molars. The added wisdom teeth would cause severe crowding, which would not be a good thing, and would not be comfortable at all. When the wisdom teeth begin coming in your orthodontist will work with the dentist that will be pulling them.
Reply:You need to ask your orthodontist this question, or get a second opinion from another orthodontist.
He probably meant that, in addition to one day removing your wisdom teeth, you need to also have 4 pre molars removed for your braces.
The earlier you can get your braces, the better. If you wait until your wisdom teeth come in, you'll be 15 or 16 and that's not an optimum time to have your braces.
Ask him if it's worth waiting for your wisdom teeth.
Good luck

Problem with my teeth! also my braces..?
okay i have braces for almost 3 months now.. after my two front teeth moved and been attached to each other, i noticed a very very small blackish spot on my teeth. it was in between the 2 front teeth. I also noticed that the black color is from myright front teeth..
what is happening? is this a sign of tooth decay? I floss floss and floss but still the black wont go away..
huhuhu.. im starting to be so sad and dissapointed..
any suggestions? ansswers? comments?
Problem with my teeth! also my braces..?
It may be a cavity. Let your dentist know so they can take care of it sooner than later.
Edited: You can go to either, whoever does your regular cleanings. If it is a cavity, they will drill it clean %26amp; fill it. The dentist can get to cavities very easily between the teeth.
Reply:god man! go to your dentist, i wore braces for 3 years %26amp; a half %26amp; nothing like that happened...
Reply:well i sugest you go to your dentist, or orthedontist. it could be a cavity. my advise is, get crest pro health, it's a mouthwash. it really cleans your teeth
Reply:YES ITS A CAVITY, THE DENTIST CAN RESTORE IT WITH A TOOTH COLORED FILLING, YOU WONT EVEN KNOW ITS THERE.

Teeth loosened from braces?
I got my braces tightened a couple weeks ago. On my bottom row of teeth, I still have 2 loose teeth. Should I call my orthodontist?
Teeth loosened from braces?
You mentioned that they are "still loose"? were they loosened from tightening or prior to that?
Are they primary teeth? although I wouldn't think so if your wearing the braces now.
And do you keep wiggling them to see if they have settled down yet?
Contact your orthodontist and they will happily give you some advise....that's what they get the big bucks for!
Reply:when in doubt, always call the professional, that's what you are paying them for!
Reply:Not a professional dentist or anything. But I remember when I had braces years ago, and after they were tightened that they were a little loose.
But it would be better to see your ortho. He will give you a better response :)

Will a child whose parents had braces before have perfect teeth?
Imagine it this way.
A man and woman with bad crooked teeth. They get braces. They end up with perfect teeth. Later on in life they marry and they have a child. Here's the question:
Will the child have perfect teeth if it's in their parents DNA? Or will the child have bad crooked teeth just like the parent's used to have, and so the child would have to get braces too?
Will a child whose parents had braces before have perfect teeth?
It is pretty unpredictable! It could go either way and can be affected by oral habits (like thumbsucking) that have nothing to do with Mom and Dad. Though my husband and I both had braces and I would'nt be surprised if my son needs them!

Reply:thats a good question but i think the child will get bad teeth because all braces do is straighten and does nothing to the blood
Reply:Braces don't change your DNA, most importantly, but just b/c parents have bad/crooked teeth doesn't necessarily mean the child will. Prolly more of a chance, but you never know...
Reply:Unless the child is born with braces, the answer is no.
All the braces in the world won't change your DNA.
Reply:Just because the parents had bad/crooked teeth doen't mean the kids will. How about 2 parents that had perfect teeth and everyone in both their families having perfect teeth and then all 3 of their kids have crooked teeth? It could go either way, and the parents braces have nothing to do with it.

Might have to get my teeth pulled for braces?
My orthodontist said that because my teeth are crowded and I have a "stuck" wisdom tooth I might have to have 4 teeth (2 on the bottom and 2 on the top) pulled to make more space in my mouth. He said that it is not for sure yet but likely--he might change his mind and I won't have my teeth pulled (that would be great), but I am REALLY nervous at the possabillity of my teeth being pulled.
If anybody can help me that would be great.
-What is it like to get teeth pulled?
-What is the process/What do they do when they pull your teeth?
-Does it hurt?
-What does it feel like afterwords?
-Should I get 2 done at one appointment and then 2 at another or should I do it all at the same time?
-Any other information about getting teeth pulled would be really great!
I would really like to hear from people who have gotten their teeth pulled for braces and dentist who have delt with this situation before
Any kind of comfort you could offer me would be great.
Thanks in advance
Might have to get my teeth pulled for braces?
it is acommon procedure to pull 4 teeth before starting orthodontic treatment since you have crowded teeth
and the answers you want are
-What is it like to get teeth pulled?
totally painless procedure
What is the process/What do they do when they pull your teeth?
dentist start giving you local anesthesia using injection
the pain of injection can be decreased by applying anesthetic gel to the site prior to the injection
during extraction you feel nothing except the slight pressure
used to pull tooth out but no pain
-Does it hurt?
no it does not
-What does it feel like afterwords?
you will be unable to eat hard food on the area of extraction
for 3 days but you can eat soft food
-Should I get 2 done at one appointment and then 2 at another or should I do it all at the same time?
you can do the 4 in the same time but anesthetizing 4 quarters means that numbness following anesthesia will be too much and very unpleasant feeling
my advice to do 2 in atom this is much easier for you
last note
after extraction follow your dentist instruction carefully
and don't be afraid
good luck dear
Reply:1 st get a second opinion and next just relax.....also i would say get it done on a Friday so you can rest the weekend......
Reply:I did have then taken out and it was well worth it. Yes it sucked, but I was awake so if you can be put to sleep I would recommend it. Once the teeth are out they feel weird, the openings but once you braces start doing their things in a couple of years the spaces will be gone. If anything get a second opinion.
Reply:I feel your pain. I had 4 teeth pulled as well. The ones in the very back. I was nervous too but after it was over you feel better except for feeling crappy about the fact that you can't eat the foods you want. But the endless ice cream and Jell-o is great :0). The dentist will just numb you and taking the teeth out depends. if the tooth is under the gums and is pushing on your teeth he'll Numb the gums and he'll pull it out. The tooth is long, though; it's crazy! But he'll probably suture your gums or not and that makes space for your wisdom teeth. I don't know about your procedure but it might go somewhere along those lines, depending on the dentist as well. Hope this helps. Don't worry, you will only feel some pressure while the tooth is being pulled out, but that's about it. It's nothing to worry about. But hey, it's worth it. You get a nice smile when it's over.
Reply:don't worry it doesn't hurt. they numb your mouth (this hurts a bit)and pull it. when they pull it it just feels feels like wiggling a big tooth if they numbed it enough.I've had 4 teeth pulled also it is better to get them done 2 first and 2 a second time. it hurts a bit after , ice cream helps. get it done on a friday so u can rest for the weekend. good luck!
Reply:I just got braces 2 weeks ago and had to have four teeth pulled. All they do is just numb you with novaine and then they take an instrument and move the tooth back and forth to loosen it and then they pull it out. One of my teeth had to be surgically removed which meant that he had to cut down into the gum to pull it out. That was the only really painful site. Afterwards, you will still be numb for a few hours and you will experience some soreness. I had all mine done at one time, so its up to you and your dentist if you want to do it over 2 visits. It might be better to get them pulled all at once. I was just so anxious to get my braces so I just went ahead and did it to get it over with. Email me if I can be of further help.
Reply:dont worry. If you need teeth removed then they will give you pain medicine (probably local anesthesia to prevent feeling anything). You will look great when the braces are complete and the orthodontist knows what he/she is doing. Trust them they have done this before with other patients. Having teeth removed is common.
Reply:OK i had mine done 2 days ago. Here is how my day went.
It was a wednesday and i had to meet my orthodontist at his office at 8 a.m. I woke up as if it were a regular school day and met my ortho at his office. The guy who pulled them was only a couple of blocks from my ortho. so we walked and when i got there they called me back and i sat in the chair. Then he came in and gave me a q-tip with this numbing stuff. Then he gave me a 4 shots because like u i needed 4 pulled to make room for braces. The shot felt like a pinch and kinda hurt. Then he left for a couple of min and after 3 min my mouth was very very numb. Then he took this tool and pushed my tooth and this hurt the worst. Even with novacain. He told me to tell him when it was unbearable pain and he would give me more novacain. Well i ended up getting the shot 8 times. Once he pushed it around he took another tool and swirled it around and pulled it out. That didnt hurt at all. He did this 4 times and it took about 45 min. Then they put some gauges in. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! If you take these out your mouth will bleed profusly and it may take longer to get the braces on. You have to wear them for an hour afterwards. Then when i got out of the chair i fell because i felt lightheaded for some reason. Once i got back on my feet i had to walk ALL the way back to the orthodontists office to my moms car. And since i got all those shots my mouth was so numb i coudnt feel my own saliva. So i was drooling everywhere. I felt dehrydrated but my mouth was full with spit. But when i got home my gums really hurt. To my surprise they didnt pull the teeth like you do when you lose your baby teeth. They actually pull the roots along with it. I ate some ramen noodles when i got hungry and later i tried some chicken fingers but that didnt work out too good. My mouth was numb for about 4 hours afterwards. Chewing doesnt work because if anything touches your gums where the teeth were pulled it will hurt. If your gums are still bleeding hours afterwards put more gauges in. They will be purple for about a week afterwards but thats normal. Now its been 2 days and today i ate tacos at school for lunch. The only thing i wish i could stop is this feeling that when i move my tounge there is a hole. There is also a tickle sensation going on. I would suggest getting them pulled all at one time unless you wanna go through this twice. Just know that in 2 years you will have perfect teeth and it will be worth it. I hope everything goes well and you get what you want.

If anybody can help me that would be great.
-What is it like to get teeth pulled?
-What is the process/What do they do when they pull your teeth?
-Does it hurt?
-What does it feel like afterwords?
-Should I get 2 done at one appointment and then 2 at another or should I do it all at the same time?
-Any other information about getting teeth pulled would be really great!
I would really like to hear from people who have gotten their teeth pulled for braces and dentist who have delt with this situation before
Any kind of comfort you could offer me would be great.
Thanks in advance
Might have to get my teeth pulled for braces?
it is acommon procedure to pull 4 teeth before starting orthodontic treatment since you have crowded teeth
and the answers you want are
-What is it like to get teeth pulled?
totally painless procedure
What is the process/What do they do when they pull your teeth?
dentist start giving you local anesthesia using injection
the pain of injection can be decreased by applying anesthetic gel to the site prior to the injection
during extraction you feel nothing except the slight pressure
used to pull tooth out but no pain
-Does it hurt?
no it does not
-What does it feel like afterwords?
you will be unable to eat hard food on the area of extraction
for 3 days but you can eat soft food
-Should I get 2 done at one appointment and then 2 at another or should I do it all at the same time?
you can do the 4 in the same time but anesthetizing 4 quarters means that numbness following anesthesia will be too much and very unpleasant feeling
my advice to do 2 in atom this is much easier for you
last note
after extraction follow your dentist instruction carefully
and don't be afraid
good luck dear
Reply:1 st get a second opinion and next just relax.....also i would say get it done on a Friday so you can rest the weekend......
Reply:I did have then taken out and it was well worth it. Yes it sucked, but I was awake so if you can be put to sleep I would recommend it. Once the teeth are out they feel weird, the openings but once you braces start doing their things in a couple of years the spaces will be gone. If anything get a second opinion.
Reply:I feel your pain. I had 4 teeth pulled as well. The ones in the very back. I was nervous too but after it was over you feel better except for feeling crappy about the fact that you can't eat the foods you want. But the endless ice cream and Jell-o is great :0). The dentist will just numb you and taking the teeth out depends. if the tooth is under the gums and is pushing on your teeth he'll Numb the gums and he'll pull it out. The tooth is long, though; it's crazy! But he'll probably suture your gums or not and that makes space for your wisdom teeth. I don't know about your procedure but it might go somewhere along those lines, depending on the dentist as well. Hope this helps. Don't worry, you will only feel some pressure while the tooth is being pulled out, but that's about it. It's nothing to worry about. But hey, it's worth it. You get a nice smile when it's over.
Reply:don't worry it doesn't hurt. they numb your mouth (this hurts a bit)and pull it. when they pull it it just feels feels like wiggling a big tooth if they numbed it enough.I've had 4 teeth pulled also it is better to get them done 2 first and 2 a second time. it hurts a bit after , ice cream helps. get it done on a friday so u can rest for the weekend. good luck!
Reply:I just got braces 2 weeks ago and had to have four teeth pulled. All they do is just numb you with novaine and then they take an instrument and move the tooth back and forth to loosen it and then they pull it out. One of my teeth had to be surgically removed which meant that he had to cut down into the gum to pull it out. That was the only really painful site. Afterwards, you will still be numb for a few hours and you will experience some soreness. I had all mine done at one time, so its up to you and your dentist if you want to do it over 2 visits. It might be better to get them pulled all at once. I was just so anxious to get my braces so I just went ahead and did it to get it over with. Email me if I can be of further help.
Reply:dont worry. If you need teeth removed then they will give you pain medicine (probably local anesthesia to prevent feeling anything). You will look great when the braces are complete and the orthodontist knows what he/she is doing. Trust them they have done this before with other patients. Having teeth removed is common.
Reply:OK i had mine done 2 days ago. Here is how my day went.
It was a wednesday and i had to meet my orthodontist at his office at 8 a.m. I woke up as if it were a regular school day and met my ortho at his office. The guy who pulled them was only a couple of blocks from my ortho. so we walked and when i got there they called me back and i sat in the chair. Then he came in and gave me a q-tip with this numbing stuff. Then he gave me a 4 shots because like u i needed 4 pulled to make room for braces. The shot felt like a pinch and kinda hurt. Then he left for a couple of min and after 3 min my mouth was very very numb. Then he took this tool and pushed my tooth and this hurt the worst. Even with novacain. He told me to tell him when it was unbearable pain and he would give me more novacain. Well i ended up getting the shot 8 times. Once he pushed it around he took another tool and swirled it around and pulled it out. That didnt hurt at all. He did this 4 times and it took about 45 min. Then they put some gauges in. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! If you take these out your mouth will bleed profusly and it may take longer to get the braces on. You have to wear them for an hour afterwards. Then when i got out of the chair i fell because i felt lightheaded for some reason. Once i got back on my feet i had to walk ALL the way back to the orthodontists office to my moms car. And since i got all those shots my mouth was so numb i coudnt feel my own saliva. So i was drooling everywhere. I felt dehrydrated but my mouth was full with spit.

Teeth whitening gum & braces?
I have braces, so can I use teeth whitening gum? Will the parts under my braces still be ugly? ahh help./
Teeth whitening gum %26amp; braces?
You should probably wait until after you get your braces off to do any kind of whitening. The reason why is because the spaces under the brackets will stay the same color while the rest of the tooth will become brighter and then when you get your braces off you will have a dark square on every tooth. I don't think you would want that. I don't know this for sure but I think that if you do try to whiten your teeth that is what will happen. Hope I helped.
Reply:eh thats probably just like using teeth whitening tooth paste..i think its alright but im not sure
Reply:why dont u brush with Crest whitening toothpaste? thats wat i do and i have braces.
Reply:yeah they most likely will stay the same colour. i suggest you wait til you've had your braces off before your start whitening your teeth
Reply:Teeth whitening gum will not effect your teeth with braces..but do not listen to the other commenters when they said to use whitening toothpaste...DO NOT USE WHITENING TOOTHPASTE..it will definately make dark spots of where your brackets were..whitening toothpaste+braces=a big NO. lol..hopefully that helped! [:
Reply:Do NOT use a whitening toothpaste or any kind of gum.
The areas around the brackets will be white.. but under the brackets will still be the color of your teeth when you got your braces. I just got mine yesturday and she went over everything and she specifically said NO WHITENING PRODUCTS! There was a girl in the office who had just gotten hers off and she had done what they told her not to do and she had noticable scaring.
Just wait until you get them off to whiten your teeth.
Reply:It may give your teeth uneven whitening results since there are some areas that are covered by braces. Try to wait when your braces are taken off to start your teeth whitening procedure.

Teeth removal before braces?
Can anyone tell me who currently has or had braces tell me how many teeth needed to be removed before you got braces?
Teeth removal before braces?
they romove some baby teeth so then your adult teeth grow in right
Reply:four teeth is pretty normal one in each quadrant of ur mouth,but i f you have crowding more may be needed
Reply:i had to get 6 pulled, could hardly eat anything solid for a week and the taste of blood was in my mouth for 2 days striaght
then i got braces 3 or 4 weeks later and they'er still not all the way in and i'm 15 and had braces for 4 months
Reply:It's not been recent for me, but if I remember it was four.
Reply:i had braces 10 years ago. 4 teeth were pulled out and hell it was a pain.
Reply:i have had braces!! it all depends on how crowded it is in ur mouth. they only had 2 take out 2 of mine! but dont worry ab it i didnt feel a thing and i loved my braces 2. lol i know kinda crazy.
Reply:It depends on what is going on in your mouth. It depends on each person, so they have to explain to you why they had a tooth extraction. Sometimes if there is crowding, teeth need to be extracted and then the teeth will be brought together with the braces.
Reply:it all depends...they usually pull baby teeth that arent coming out OR adult teeth if your mouth is too small for all the teeth. i had 6 baby teeth pulled...but most of my friends had 2-4 pulled before braces.

Closing teeth gap using braces?
Hi, I have more then one gap in my front teeth. I am planning to correct it using braces. How efective is this? Is it possible for the braces to pull my teeth sideways?
Closing teeth gap using braces?
Yes. my friend had a huge gap in her teeth and it pulled them together and the look really fuking straight now
Reply:Braces can correct this.
Reply:It is the way to go. I have braces right now, and i had a tooth coming in the wrong way, so i had a tooth pulled, and had to move another tooth to the side so the one in the wrong direction comes up to that new gap. Thanks to braces they have moved my tooth about 8 mm so far, ive had them 6 months now. Perfect way to go if you want to move your teeth across, up or down, or just a tidy-up. f you can afford them that is. ;)
Reply:Umm, my best friend's gap (which I don't think is that big) isn't able to be corrected using braces. She has had her gum at the front altered and is now getting veneers to make her front teeth appear bigger and closer together.
Reply:very effective, let your ortho do the work it seriously works
Reply:it's easier too get bonding..it takes about 45 minutes i had it done it looks great..good luck

Not cleaning teeth before getting Braces.?
What are the results of not cleaning my teeth before getting Braces?
My last appointment was a year ago, and I can't brush my teeth really well. Today I got my braces on, and my orthdo said it was silly that I kept thinking that there would be horrible results, but I have a bad feeling about this. Plus, the night before I was really tired, so I forgot to brush my teeth. In the morning I managed to, at least, brush my teeth for 4 minutes.... I don't know, help :[
They are a big company, but their techniques just dont seem right.
Not cleaning teeth before getting Braces.?
No worries...orthodontist use an etchant to prepare the teeth and this removes everything on the surface. If you are not comfortable with what they did and have more questions, feel free to ask me as I work as an orthodontic assistant
Reply:You'll be fine. Once you get them off there'll be pieces of cement and stuff and you'll need a good cleaning anyway. Just clean them the best you can. There are picks you can use instead of floss, and use Listerine or some other antiseptic mouthwash.
Reply:you will be fine nothing bads going to happen i did the same thing and i just got my braces off my teeth look awesome and theres no spots that are whiter then the other and i see that ur going to be fine too
Reply:Oh i i know how you feel! I also have braces but i got mine on bout a year ago and i still have them on till next summer! Well... i was the same way u should be fine exspecialy if u r brushing them for 4 min. Just keep brushing them after every big meal like breakfest lunch and dinner and u should be fine! And make sure to get beetween the braces and make sure 2 floss if u dont kno how to floss with braces then ask ur ortho
Reply:I had braces already too. It would be good if you could have gotten a cleaning before your braces, since they won't be off for about 2 years or however long you have them for. But rememeber to brush and floss everyday, even more than you did without braces because food gets stuck a lot easier now. When you get them off, they will clean it for you and there will be food stuck in there.
Reply:hi, it's important to have good dental hygiene especially whenever have all this metal in our mouths(food becomes trapped in all that hardware). when that happens not only do we have to worry about cavities but also bad breath. another thing, if were not cleaning our teeth well enough the gums become infected (red, inflamed) to a point where they may grow over your brackets. not only is that unsightly but also unsanitary. purchase a water-pik, there not that expensive this will help dislodge any food you may have trapped, follow up with a good brushing. a fluoride rinse that you purchase over the counter would also be a good idea(rinse with that once daily). i know sounds like alot of work and it is,
but you'll be glad you invested the time let alone the money.
Reply:u didnt clean ur teeth before u got braces? cool. keep it up. nd u cant brush ur teeth well? tats interesting.
