Ok my teeth weren't that screwed but I got braces anyway for a cosmetic reason..anyway, I only get them on for 5 months..it's been 2 months and I don't notice any difference..is this normal or is it just a waste of time..please tell me when I should notice a difference!
devil9221 answered Thursday June 9 2005, 8:47 pm: You shouldn't notice any difference until you take them off. The metal clutters your mouth and it is hard to see. There should be a differnce once you have taken them of so don't worry.
Hope I could help!

I have had them for quite a while, and i haven't ever noticed a difference, but now that i look back on what they used to be like, i realize they really did work lyl lexi [ kittyluvr1826's advice column | Ask kittyluvr1826 A Question ]
meemo answered Tuesday June 7 2005, 7:10 pm: i've had braces, all though it wasn't long, and i never really noticed a change personally, it wasn't until the other day (now that i have a retainer) when my friend said, "whoa- your teeth are freakishly straight now!" that i realized the difference form before.
my point is, you wont really notice a difference
until you are finished with them and you look at your teeth form before [ meemo's advice column | Ask meemo A Question ]

OrangeChikn answered Tuesday June 7 2005, 5:21 pm: It depends, if they looked ok to begin with, I doubt you'll see too much of a difference.
therocketsummer answered Tuesday June 7 2005, 5:10 pm: Well, if your teeth weren't that messed up to begin with, chanced are they wont move that fast. My teeth when I got braces were absolutly HORRIBLE, so I noticed changes in the first few weeks. Everyone's teeth move differently. If your ortho doesn't notice a change anytime soon he might change the bar to a stronger bar to help the process of your teeth shifting. Or, he might put you on rubberbands. Don't worry, braces are NOT a waste.
KaTiE_LyNn answered Tuesday June 7 2005, 4:59 pm: most likely it's just that you can't tell a difference because there are braces on your teeth. when i look in the mirror i can't tell that my teeth have changed at all but when my orthodontist shows me the x-rays it's obvious. just don't worry about it. if you really are worried, ask the orthodontist next time you go.
