I am getting two baby teeth pulled with my braces already on. My ortho put a wire on the teeth put he didn't put brackets on.
I have had two teeth pulled before without braces, so will this be the same. Will they just cut the wire, numb me up, and it's done. Please help me!!!!!!
Teeth pulled with braces on???? what should I know?
They may need to have the wire out, no different from a normal wire change, but more then likely they won't need to do that. The forceps are designed to reach under the wire . Very simple, don't worry
Reply:IT'S ALOT OF PAIN
Reply:They don't need to cut the wire, they will just work around it.

Teeth whitening with braces?
Well, I'm thirteen, and I have braces.
When I didn't have braces, I didn't brush my gums/the very tops of my front teeth. Now the very tops of my front teeth are yellow. I brush them all the time [a few times a day with lots of tooth paste] and I also use whitening mouthwash, but they still won't whiten!
How can I get them to be white besides brushing a lot/ODing on mouthwash?
Teeth whitening with braces?
I have braces also. You don't want to drastically whiten your teeth because then the parts of your teeth which are covered by the metal things will be a different colour to the rest of your teeth.
DON'T brush with lots of toothpaste! don't use more than you need, you only need around a pea size and they sometimes have the amount you need specified on the box. Use a SOFT toothbrush and brush around 2-3 times a day, not drastically more i would say 4x at absoulote most. Brush your teeth for around 3 minutes.
I read in a magazine that according to the American Academy of Periodontology, that gum disease, cavities and missing teeth are as good at indicating heart disease as chloesterol levels. So it is very important to look after your teeth.
No more than once a week, you GENTLY brush your teeth with a 50/50 mixture of bicarb soda and sea salt. don't SCRUB but be very gentle. if you scrub you will wear away the tooth enamel which will make yellowing of the tooth.
also it is very important to floss. do this after every meal, at least once a day. Do not snap the floss on the gum line and use a clean section of floss for every gap you floss. floss around the tooth not straight up %26amp; down between teeth.

Reply:Go to the dentist and have him do the whitening. there is no way your going to get your teeth completely white after wearing braces for lets say 2-4 years. He needs to do the whitening
Reply:I have braces too and the same thing is happening to me!!! I just go ahead and use the whitening strips or other whitening gels with my braces...it dosent do anything to them!!
Reply:I have braces too and I was thinking this exact question yesterday.
Reply:Either wait until after you get your braces off or use a whitening rinse. Strips won't work until after your braces are off.
Reply:I would wait until you get your braces off like I did. When you do whiten them, make sure it's recommended by your dentist, because you aren't suposed to use white strips or anything like that until you're 18. If you're any younger, it could/will wreck the enamel in your teeth. I used a special kit that can only be bought through your dentist.

Braces-the color of teeth after them?
i was wondering about what your teeth look like after braces. I mean, i know that they are gonna be straight. But...ya know when you have a piece of furniture and you go to move it to clean it and the spot it was covering is a different color than the rest of the carpet? Does that happen with your teeth if you have braces. Because, really it is the same concept. Wouldn't it look strange if you just had a bright white or a yellow square spot on your teeth where your braces were for 2 years. Because its not like you can brush under the brackets where they have the glue.
Braces-the color of teeth after them?
it doesnt work like that. the colour of your teeth that is covered in the braket will stay the same colour until you get your braces off. And you just have to brush the outside bit and keep it healthy. some people do get stains after braces but its only because the stained the OUTSIDE of there teeth from not brushing or eating 6 candy bars and day and 10 cans of coke. only like 1 in 100 people get stains after braces, most common cause becoz they didnt have good oral hygiene
Reply:well if you use floride your teeth wont have spots on them after you get them take in off. they sell floride tooth paste. if your worried about having spots just use the toothpaste.
Reply:well i have never had braces bedfore but i think im gonna have to and i think there a little tint of yelow on the spot the bracket were.
Reply:if u clean ur teeth alot and get the normal maintenance at the dentist. u will be fine. i thaught i was gonna have yellow marks but the only way u will is like if u never brush ahha. even my friend who never brushes ahha ewww, she didnt have marks. even if u do, u can always use whitening toothpastes and mouthwashes ect.
Reply:I just got braces a week ago %26amp; as far as my orthodontist said if you use WHITENING toothpaste your teeth will look tha way you described.
You can only use colgate total or cavity protection or something, but NOTHING with whitening. otherwise you'll be walkin' round with squares on your teeth after you get tha braces off.
Why do you wanna kno? R you getting braces or something?
If you are just b sure to brush at least 2wice a day %26amp; floss.
Also there's this quadruple-strength flouride mouthwash that's called Phos-Flur from Colgate....it works really good for braces; that's what its made for.
Reply:Just brush well and nothing bad should happen.

Missing Teeth / Dental Implant / Braces?
I am having a lot of problems with my mouth over the last few months. I went to the dentist and he told me that I still have a baby tooth and I was born without two of my permanent teeth [two of the front bottom teeth].
He thinks I should pull the baby tooth and get braces to make room for two dental implants.
The whole thing freaks me out. I don't want to be toothless, and I also don't want something foreign in my mouth that is destined to "fail" sometime or another.
I am also curious as to if I could just get braces and pull everything together and just leave some space in the back - possibly room for my wisdom teeth when they come in.
I am an education major very close to graduating and I don't want to have a physically negative appearance in the classroom. I have been constantly crying over the last few months after I heard the news. I really would like to hear comments from professionals who could possibly put me to ease.
Missing Teeth / Dental Implant / Braces?
Hi! I've been in dentistry for over 25 years and have implants. Many of them. And please promise me to stop crying over this. IT IS a solvable problem and you will not look bad or will they fail. In fact, implants will out live you. The baby teeth will fail. This you have no choice, they have to go. The braces will make room and more importantly, the implants will look more natural and better than the baby teeth. It all takes time, but the end result will be wonderful.
This is what I would do. I would make either a Maryland bridge that fills the gab and cements onto the neighboring teeth to take up the space of the baby teeth. The Ortho can bypass this and cement brackets and add the wire to the natural teeth and move them into position. Once this is done, remove the bridge and sink the implants. You can recement the bridge until the implants heal in place and the final crowns can be placed. NO ONE will know BUT YOU! And there is no space to be embarrassed about.
The second option is to wear a flipper that has two teeth on it and no one will know but you. I think this is not the best of choices as you can remove this and it can come out easily.
What I have done for patients, is make the Maryland bridge with a temp. material, costs less and you can have a good look. Once the teeth shift, sink implants and make a partial denture for the space. This hooks on to your natural teeth and is less likely to move when you talk or laugh. I have also re-cement the Maryland bridge for 3-4 months and the patient has no concerns until it it time for final impressions. Then still use this so no one knows and it looks great. It will cost a little more, but you wil have a full set of teeth, stop crying about it and get on with a great career. THIS is a TINY speed bump in your life. A good dentist will never let you walk around missing teeth and look terrible. I will never allow any of my patients to angst over this. If I have to make the temporary myself I do. Believe me, I have 11 implants and 5 are in the front, do you think my patients ever saw their dentist without perfect teeth? Never. So please calm down, this is easy to do. If your dentist can't find someone that can. I do this all the time and my patients love me. The reason I care so much is I have been in the same situation. If you have any other questions, please ask. Marie.
Reply:It will be okay. If you are uncomfortable witht eh implant tell the denist your idea and see what he says.
Reply:Okay. Are you aesthically ok at this point? That baby tooth can last for a very long time. I have a patient (I'm in the dental field) who has a nicely functioning baby tooth. He is 75 freaking years old!
Yes it is possible that the baby tooth will crap out. When it does, an implant may be in order. By that time you may have dental insurance and they might even cover a portion. SWEET! Dental implants have come a long way over the last 20 years. They are costly, but do last when done correctly.
If you have a malocclusion, see an orthodontist to see if braces can help this situation. They are in a position to scope out what needs to be where.
If you have dental insurance now, you should be able to get a panorex (full lower face xray) done under your coverage by your dentist. Take that xray to the orthodontist and get a consult. Most orthodontists will do a consult for a minimal fee.
Don't worry about looking professional in the classroom because of your teeth. The kids will love it if you have to get braces. Now quit crying and finish you school work to the best of your ability.

Getting Teeth Pulled For Braces! Read?
Okay, I went to the ortho a year ago, and then my mom decided to wait cuz I needed to get 4 teeth pulled. So, I just went yesterday, Im getting the 4 teeth taken out soon, then getting the top braces on 2 weeks later. Is there anything I should know about teeth pulling or braces? Im getting 2 teeth pulled, then waiting 2 weeks for those to heal, then getting the other 2 pulled, then 2 weeks later getting the top braces on. Oh yeah-does a cavity look a tiny bit yellow, like not yellow but not perfectly fine? My friend wanted me to ask that part. So does it look a tiny bit yellow????? With no visibly hole or no black spot, and some sensitivity at random times, not when eating??? Is that a cavity???
Getting Teeth Pulled For Braces! Read?
Braces are fine, I've had them 3 times because my tongue pushes my teeth out of place. I also had to have 4 teeth pulled because my mouth was so crowded. It is not really a big deal, hurts for a little while, but works out in the end. I would get the four done at the same time, it's what I did and then you only have the pain once. I truly appreciate having had braces now. I have a goregous smile and get lots of compliments!
If you have a choice, ask if your orthodontist uses the Damon system. It is a new system of braces that is less painful, a lot quicker, uses NASA technology and does not use the metal bands, which makes them better for your teeth.
The one thing you need to remember with braces though, is to BRUSH! I can not emphasise that enough. I bushed, but not as well as I should have and ended up with a little decalsifiction, or white spots on my teeth. I regret that. So for your sake, please brush really well and you will love the result.
As for your friend's question, the only person who can answer that is a dentist. If there is any question about a cavity it is important to see a dentist before it gets really bad.
Reply:If you don't trust your orthodontist ask your dentist and vice versa
Reply:Your doctor should tell you all you need to know about how to care for your gums after having your teeth extracted. If I were you, I would have all four done at the same time. I dont understand why you are going back twice.
Your friend should go to the dentist. Any discoloration could be an early warning and the sensitivity is definitely something to be checked out before it turns into something worse.
Reply:I actually had to get 4 teeth pulled myself before getting braces because my mouth was too small for all of them! It sucks, but just hold on, close your eyes, and imagine it is not happening. That is all I can really say. As far as if it is a cavity...the only way you can really know is if you go to a dentist. Also cavities tend to have black, not yellow, but it doesn't mean that you don't have a microscopic cavity forming.
Reply:the most important thing to know about getting teeth pulled, is avoid getting dry socket! Ask your dentist what to do to avoid "Dry Socket"!!!
it is soooo painful!
Reply:i have braces and have had them since feb. 15 of this yr. the only thing u need 2 do with braces is when u get them put on..the cement that they put on the bands..and if u dont kno what that is that is the metal ring that they put on ur 2 back teeth.. that cement is just awful and really sour!! but other that that when u get ur braces tightened they hurt 4 atleast 2 days but getting braces just put on it will prolly hurt 4 about a week...keep them brushed really good and dont drink many soft drinks....i cant tell u n e thing about gettin ur teeth pulled b/c i didnt have to get that done....hope that helps ya! ♥
Reply:it ddoesn't hurt much, but I would get it done 2 teeth at a time, or you'll starve
Reply:I also got four teeth pulled before getting braces as a teen. Nothing you need to know except they are making room in your mouth for your teeth to line up properly. Also be sure to wear your retainer afterwards for as long as you are told to, even if you don't think you need it because the teeth WILL go crooked again!
A dentist couldn't answer your other question without seeing the teeth (and if they did, I wouldn't go to them!) so I doubt anyone here could.

Reply:I had to get my top "fang" (dont know the proper term) pulled before my braces, but make sure u do whatever the ortho tells u to do cuz after 3 yrs of having braces my teeth still look like **** cuz i didnt wanna listen...now the only way i can fix them is braces of course and oral surgery im sure it will be pain full so take care of ur teeth and have fun!
Reply:The first thing you need to know is, if you are not absolutely committed to getting braces AFTER your teeth are extracted, you will create a problem that is worse than what you may currently have. For this reason, most orthodontists will make sure the patient is in braces THEN refer to a dentist to have the teeth extracted. Most will make sure the commitment has been made before having a patient extract healthy (usually healthy) adult teeth for orthodontic purposes. If for some reason you do not get the treatment started and the teeth have been extracted, there is bone loss and the spaces at the extraction sites will be unable to be closed completely if this occurs. Also, if braces are on all teeth except the 4 (in your case) to be extracted, it's a no-brainer which teeth are to be removed. (Remember the wrong leg was amputated for a diabetic patient?)They now mark legs, (L)eft or (R)ight if it's the one to be amputated!
Additionally, teeth continue to extrude until they hit something (other teeth). If the teeth have been extracted, the teeth mesially and distally will begin to tilt toward the extraction sites. The teeth on the opposite arch will also super erupt if they do not occlude against other teeth. This creates more problems.
You're committed, get the extractions. We won't feel a thing (you will)! (Sorry, couldn't resist) It will heal fine and you'll have no problems. I will caution you, closing the extraction sites won't be a piece of cake but nothing tylenol or advil can't handle.
About braces, brush and floss after each meal. Request a prescription flouride (if one isn't given to automatically). One should be given to you and included in your case fee.
Follow the rules: NO hard, crunchy, chewy or sticky foods while wearing braces.
You'll be absolutely proud of your investment in YOURSELF!
Tell your friend she probably doesn't have a cavity but not to trust me. Trust her dentist. Get in for an exam, checkup and cleaning!
Reply:I would suggest to you to get all 4 teeth pulled at the same time, it will be a quicker recovery. I had 6 teeth pulled and braces a week after and talking from experience, it is much better to get them all done at once. The pain is not to bad depending on how you teeth are position and the procedure that needs to be done. For me i had 4 cut out of the gums and 2 pulled so healing time was about one week and after 4 days of having them pulled i had braces put on. If you seperate the procedure, eg. pull 2 now 2 later it will take you a bit longer to heal and may scare you so that you do not want to return for the other 2 to be pulled. I was put to sleep for this so i did not feel a thing but if you are having it pulled i hear it is a differant story.
Good luck!
Reply:It's a common procedure to get 4 bicuspids pulled before you get braces.
Reply:when i got my teeth pulled...well...i stuck to SOFT food...and COLD food...hot sometimes hurts really bad. keep some tylenol handy. you might need it for the first few days after the teeth are pulled...
with the braces....um...theyll be sore when you first get them on, but after that you should be fine!!!
as for your friend...i honestly dont know what a cavity looks like...ive NEVER had one...so dont ask me about that...
hope i helped a little!

Additionally, teeth continue to extrude until they hit something (other teeth). If the teeth have been extracted, the teeth mesially and distally will begin to tilt toward the extraction sites. The teeth on the opposite arch will also super erupt if they do not occlude against other teeth. This creates more problems.
You're committed, get the extractions. We won't feel a thing (you will)! (Sorry, couldn't resist) It will heal fine and you'll have no problems. I will caution you, closing the extraction sites won't be a piece of cake but nothing tylenol or advil can't handle.
About braces, brush and floss after each meal. Request a prescription flouride (if one isn't given to automatically). One should be given to you and included in your case fee.
Follow the rules: NO hard, crunchy, chewy or sticky foods while wearing braces.
You'll be absolutely proud of your investment in YOURSELF!
Tell your friend she probably doesn't have a cavity but not to trust me. Trust her dentist. Get in for an exam, checkup and cleaning!
Reply:I would suggest to you to get all 4 teeth pulled at the same time, it will be a quicker recovery. I had 6 teeth pulled and braces a week after and talking from experience, it is much better to get them all done at once. The pain is not to bad depending on how you teeth are position and the procedure that needs to be done. For me i had 4 cut out of the gums and 2 pulled so healing time was about one week and after 4 days of having them pulled i had braces put on. If you seperate the procedure, eg. pull 2 now 2 later it will take you a bit longer to heal and may scare you so that you do not want to return for the other 2 to be pulled. I was put to sleep for this so i did not feel a thing but if you are having it pulled i hear it is a differant story.
Good luck!
Reply:It's a common procedure to get 4 bicuspids pulled before you get braces.
Reply:when i got my teeth pulled...well...i stuck to SOFT food...and COLD food...hot sometimes hurts really bad. keep some tylenol handy. you might need it for the first few days after the teeth are pulled...
with the braces....um...theyll be sore when you first get them on, but after that you should be fine!!!
as for your friend...i honestly dont know what a cavity looks like...ive NEVER had one...so dont ask me about that...
hope i helped a little!

Teeth Moving After Braces?
I've gotten my braces off about 1.5 years ago. Lately I've been noticing that my teeth have been moving more and more. I'm starting to see bigger gaps between my lower teeth. I've only worn my retainers (clear plastic ones) for a month after braces and only wore them at night until now. Do I need to get braces again? Or will my teeth get better if I start wearing my retainers 24/7 now?
Teeth Moving After Braces?
I'd recommend wearing your retainer 24/7 for maybe a month or so, then only at night for a few months, then every other night... and so on, just like you would if you had just gotten your braces off. Try that before you decide to spend all that money and time on braces again. You should have followed the orthodontist's directions in the beginning.
Reply:ur teeth may get better but not as perfect as they were,,,,i had the clear retainer and it doesnt do any good.....
i ended up gettin braces all over agen coz they became that bad!!
good luck
Reply:Did you stop using your retainer sooner than your orthodontist recommended? Whether or not this is the case, it may be possible to avoid getting braces again if you get to your dentist or orthodontist as soon as possible for an examination. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that you'll need braces again.
Good luck with this.
Reply:i did the same thing i didnt wear my retainer and my teeth moved another reason they moved so much was my wisdom teeth came in late you should wear your retainer maybe even consider getting braces again

Why does it matter that you have put braces on your teeth? Why cant you be yourself, you haven't changed as a person only trying to better the appearance of yourself. Why would you have to ask permission from her to do so? If she loves you, your appearance does not matter. appearance and beauty is only skin deep but true love, understanding and knowing that the one you have choosen will be with you know matter what last a life time. so stop being worried and you two go on about your life together.
