ReplyDeleteEmma Cant - colour wise - dont chose light colours or yellow, orange and clear
ReplyDeletelight colour loose their colour easily and orangle, yellow and clear make your teeth looks yellow
braces dont really hurt... your teeth will just feel a bit tight because your not used to them moving
you will get them tightened once a month too so they'll feel tight after that too
try to avoid hard foods but you can still eat them just be careful
you can chew gum but it will most probably get stuck in your braces but you can pick it out
brush your teeth really well and use the special equipment your dentist gives you (they should give you stuff)
put the special wax on if your braces are rubbing on your gum
and ask you dentist if your braces break
dont use whitening tooth paste because you will end up with orange squares on your teeth when they get taken off
hope this helped and remember to ask your dentist if you want to know anything
Emily - theyre the expert. why should you look them up? dont worry. your teeth will hurt that night and the following day but just suck on ice, use panadol and consume icecream.
ReplyDeletefoods i would suggest to eat are
mash veggies
tortelini and sauce
soft cereal (like weet-bix) something that will get soggy
i got ceramic braces on the top and plan metal for the bottom (didnt have a colour)
basically if your teeth arent straight they are pulled into line through this metal wire that connects them together. over your appointments, your ortho might tighten this wire as your teeth move into shape. if you have problems with your bite then you may get elastics which are attached from different positions on your braces. i had these and the move your whole sets of teeth to meet together. (i had an overbite so it was to mesh my top teeth backward and bottom teeth forward till they met)
wax is a life saver! use it sparingly and make sure you take it with you. you never know when your lips are gonna get sore from rubbing on your braces. i wouldnt suggest gum. just dont use it. stay away from hard sticky foods like fantails and honeycomb and stuff.
brush your teeth well. you will probs get a brushing kit or something. floss in between your braces. (they will tell you what to do)
i♥myhorsey - Googles useful.
