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

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.
