I’ve had my braces for almost a year now and at the time I got them on, one of my teeth wasn’t down far enough to have a bracket placed on it. Now that tooth is down far enough, and they put the bracket on today. How long should I be in pain/discomfort?
Before I get braces next week, I have to get wisdom tooth extraction this Friday. What’s going to happen?
Okay so this past Friday I got separators in on both sides of my first molars, top and bottom, to prep for my braces in 3 weeks and it hurts a decent amount as well as having pressure from them creating space all the time. I have this toothbrush that they gave me to use and so far it helps relieve the pressure and pain whenever I brush over them with it, so is it okay? If not, is there something I can do or use to help relieve the pressure and pain?
Before I have my braces, I will have to have one of my adult teeth out! I have sensitive teeth as well. How much – on average – does it hurt? Bare in mind, I will be about 11 or 12 when I have this done….By the way, can you still get knocked out for it? If you can – YYYYYYYAAAAAAAYYYY!
Thanks xx
I was in a car accident and lost my front side tooth and damaged other teeth (I had the braces wire on). I have been undergoing surgery after surgery to reconstruct all the damage to my mouth. Currently my dentist explained that his best plan of action is for me to get dentures. I’m only 24! I cry everytime I think of dentures. Is there any other alternative?

i have braces and i needed spacers for my herbst appliance or whatever and the spacers are giving me tons of pain bc my teeth are so close together from braces
I got my braces off 4 days ago, and my teeth are incredibly sensitive, especially to juice. It hurt so badly when he was polishing them. Is this going to go away?
For one consultation with the dentist, he suggested that I have some teeth filed away for braces. I didn’t like that idea because I think it would cause nerve damage. In the long term, I may have to cope with sensitive teeth. The dentist said that I already have thin enamel probably from drinking acidic foods or brushing too hard. My mom said that she had to cope with sensitive teeth for the rest of her life because of filing. I’m a bit skeptical of this idea and not sure, any suggestions?
Is it normal if u feel a little pain after taking out my permanent teeth?I’ll be having braces next week that’s why the ortho told me take take some of my permanent teeth out…what if I felt so much pain?what will I do?
I have had my braces for about a year now. Of course, when I first got them there was the usual pain and whatever. But just recently I have seen a recession in the gumline on some of my teeth. I am only 16 years old and I don’t want gum recession. There was always this tooth that was a bit lower than the others, but now it has gotten worse along with the tooth beside it. The dental hygeinest told me that they can’t grow back. Why? I’ve seen this formula called Dr. Tung’s Gum Rejuv on various places on the ‘net and wondering could it be a possible cure. I’m growing and am still young in healthy shape. There has to be something that can rejuvenate them and at least help to grow back. By the way, I practice good oral hygiene such as brushing and flossing. I don’t know if its the pressure of the braces or what but I need an answer. Never had this problem before the braces and elastics. People, just get me some answers of what could help or be wrong before I go back to the dentist.
Are there any natural cures for this? As for flossing, I have been doing so reguraly off and on, but why would the gumline on certain teeth start to recede just now and not before I got my braces or right after I got them? I have heard of cases where the gum tissue is thin by heredics.
I also forgot to add that there is a gap being made between the bottom center tooth and th one next to it by the elastics. I have elastics that are supposed to be pulling my jaw back so I have 2 oppsing forces there. Could gum loss be result of bone loss as the teeth are moved? Is that normal for orthodontics?
ok so i want to ask this girl out but i have braces and after i eat my breath ALWAYS smells. I HATE IT. i want to take her out to eat then i want to kiss her but i dont want my breath to smell. how can i get rid of my bad breath fast?
My sister lost a tooth in a car accident and she had a tooth implanted. Theres a gap that she has between a tooth and the implanted one that she is really unsatisfied with. Can she get braces on the implant to closd her gap??
I just got my braces off last week and since then my teeth have been super sensitive. I can’t enjoy popsicles or cold drinks like I used to. Is there a good toothpaste to reduce my sensitivity??
My dentist said I have gingivitis today and he said I better start taking care of my teeth better. What can I do? I can’t really floss and I haven’t been flossing because of the braces.
Im getting my braces off soon and right afterward i want to whiten my teeth with some store bought stuff.( not professional or anything) So i was just wondering what yyou reccomend (: also, are there any cons to teeth whitening?
I’ve had braces since July. Just recently, my teeth started to hurt whenever I are or drank something even remotely cold. It’s almost like a brief toothache type pain. I’ve never had sensitive teeth before, but my mom does. The cold things at the dentist don’t bother me. I’m not sure why all of a sudden this is happening to me.
This morning I woke up and the back on my teeth hurt pretty bad but i had my braces for like 3-4 weeks now so im used to them. And they weren’t sore 2 days ago. Could i have been grinding my teeth in my sleep?
I didn’t get my teeth tightened yet, i get them tightened in September.
I have the biggest ugliest gap right in between my front two teeth! I just had an oral surgery yesterday and I thought my dentist would be able to fix it then but he wants to put braces on my teeth first and then surgically remove them so my implants will fit correctly. So my question is will braces hurt more if I have a big gap or is it pretty much the same feeling? And do you like your braces or not? And how long did it take for you to adjust to them?
I just had my braces taken off and would like my teeth whiter before i start school…
any strip that reallly work?

I have had braces for about 2 years now and I will probably be getting them off within the next half year or so. I’m 15 and I admit that probably about 70% of the days I’ve had them I havn’t brushed more than once a day, which was in the mornings. Now however I am brushing in the morning, when I get home from school, and when I go to bed. I was curious about what the chances are that I might have some tooth decay under my braces? My mother works at a school and one of the students there got his braces off the other day and he had tooth decay because he only brushed once a day, this is what really made me face reality that i could have tooth decay and not know it. Also, if I keep brushing right is there a way to fix whatever damage might have been done by simply brushing?
I recently got braces put on about two days ago, and my teeth are incredibly sensitive and in pain. I can’t even bite down on anything, and have only been drinking liquids and avoiding anything I have to chew. Even the slightest touch such as touching the surface, brushing, etc hurts. My gums also look very pale, but I’m not sure if that has anything to do with this. Is this normal? When if ever does the pain go away? Any help would be appreciated!
I’m unhappy with almost every aspect of my body:
My height (5′9.5")
My eyes (Hazel)
Hair (receding)
pale skin that I have to go and risk cancer tanning it
receding gumline
I do like straight teeth tho
How do you come to terms with it?
I’ve considered plastic surgery in the future…but can they completely re-shape my face to look like a male models? And what kind of skin treatment can I get to make my skin look all ONE shade…..and under-eye treatment to get rid of dark circles?
lol no it’s not just gums, I have a pretty good smile since i had braces (perfect teeth) but my gum line is going up
I don’t plan on brushing my teeth with straight baking soda since it could be too harsh but just luke warm water and these products. I have receeded gums due to having braces for several years and i brush too high on my gumline so plague gets trapped after brushing and flossing.
