braces
i'm getting braces tommarow and I was wondering what i should know about them. how much is it going to hurt and when does it start hurting and when does the pain stop? what helps make the pain stop hurting? and what are good color combinations for braces and what colors look bad? if you've had or have braces i need all the tips you know about the pain and what color to get and stuff! i heard you can get things like soccer balls on them, is that true? (sorry i couldn't use capitals i had to rush so this is the best i can do.)

Well, when you get the braces on, how long and how much it hurts might vary from differen people. Like, my one friend only hurt for a couple of days, when I hurt for two weeks. What I did for color-wise, is I either just got black or clear because they both match with every color in my opinion [ cause I always have to match my outfits ] so it always looked normal. The only problem with clear is after awhile, all the food stains the clear bands so they start to turn yellow. But to ease the pain [ this is probably why it hurt so much for me cause I didn't realize these things existed until AFTER my braces stopped hurting lol ] is ask them for some wax and whenever they rub up against the sides of your mouth, just put the wax against your teeth, and it should feel loads better. But for the first few hours, everything'll probably feel tight and hurt a bit. I've never heard anything about getting soccer balls and stuff on them, but I'm sure you can ask the ortho whenever you get there. I hope I helped. <3 Hahaha, [ I don't know if you posted this today on the 22nd or what because there's no date at the top ], but if you are, you're getting yours ON tommorrow while I'm getting mine OFF. :D Ha, small world. Anyways, I hope I helped. <3

hey. well i had braces for about 3 years so i should be able to help you out on this one. it hurt only after they put them on for a little bit! but it WILL get better =) take some tylonol or advil if it hurts! when you go in for your check-up or for tightening it will hurt after you do that too but only for like a day! dont eat anything like chewy or hard that will hurt it even more and i think they tell you to stay away from that stuff anyways? at least for awhile. good combinations are like either just a plain color like pink or purple..or for a guy like red or blue. dont get clear everything gets stuck in it and it looks horrible! black i wouldnt prefer either because then it just looks like you got a bunch of oreos stuck in your teeth haha. umm most people do like red and green. pink and red for valentines day.. orange or orange and black for halloween. green for st. patricks day! but you dont have to. ive never heard of the whole soccer ball thing well not at least at any orthodontists around here! well goodluck with your braces and i hope everyhing goes well ♥

It hurts a little, take some advil the first few days. Most people do holidays- red/green for christmas, ornage/black for halloween- or do your favorite colors or school colors. Don't ever get white because if you eat anything like Cheetos or Doritos they will turn a hideous shade of orangey-yellow. Other than that, you can't really go wrong.

when i got them on it hurt at first. i just took tylonol for the pain. at frist you cant eat any har foods or stuff like chixken so i stuck to applesauce ice cream and speghetti o's. as for the colors you can get just about any color. one time my orthodontist had extra time and even put all the colors of the rainbow on mine. but try and stay away from the color yellow cuz it makes your teeth look dirty around the brackets. and try and stay away from white because if your teeth arent perfectly white, then it will show that.
hope that helpss
p.s. as for the soccer ball thing i have never heard of that.

well when the orhtodontist put in my braces it hurt. well the molars did(bottom teeth<rear back>)after when he put in the brackets it hurt, but you can handle it pretty well. The pain lasts prolly for about 3-4 days. if the braces start to scratch the inside of your mouth, your orthodontist will give you wax.
whatever color you choose will look nice EXCEPT for yellow.! don't ever use yellow.and, NO you can't GET SOCCER BALLS on them.
***HERSHI WISHES HUGS AND KISSES***
good luck

ok well,its going to hurt just a little for about...4 mins when you get the back things on (the things that go around your whole tooth) and it only hurts when she askes you to bite down. (to put the around your tooth)then it wont hurt with those after that.she glues on the brackets and puts the wire in. but it's going to hurt when you put the elastics on.(this is all on my tolerence of pain in my mouth...but you might not feel a thing if you have a hig tolerence.) after you get them on-you might say "hey it doesnt hurt at all!" or something like "i cant feel them" but they do hurt after a couple hours..and for about a week.(i strongly reccomend takeing a pain releaver)
about colors- i got light blue ones - but i like purple and silver,light pink and dark pink,green/light green,and also teal. (stay away from clear,yellow,and black...also orange if you want.) im not sure about the soccer balls...because its a little elastic :o..if so then thats awesome!! well,good luck! also clean them every day because you could get holes in your teeth (my orthodontist told me that.)
i hope i helped!!

The pain is on for about two days when you first get them,you could get them in different colors like blue,baby blue,gray,pink,etc...Also in different designs like describe how you want them or your orthodontist will show you some pictures of how you want your braces to look like,don't eat any hard foods eat ones that are very soft on your teeth like yogurt,drink a lot of water,take advil or tylenol for the pain,lay down,rest,have long hours of sleep so you won't have to feel the pain,you'll eventually get use to the braces,you'll later need to wear rubber or elastics for your teeth to close perfectly,they will change your braces like every month,you'll also need to buy something called "Phos Flur" it's like a toothpaste,it comes in a small,large bottle,sell it at any pharmacy,the small one cost like $10 or $12,the large one cost like $14,you use it daily to prevent white scars on your teeth while the braces are on,after you use it for a minute,don't eat or drink for at least 30 minutes,other further instructions are in the back, and after that pain goes away it will be like a piece of cake.

Hey there. I have braces to and let me tell you it was the most painful thing in the world! make sure you have really soft foods nothing you need to chew. things like apple sauce pudding icecream or yogurt etc. Also make sure yu are tired so you can sleep the pain away thats what i did! The day after yu get the braces just take the day inside and relax maybe pamper yurself. also makesure yu have tylonal.
For colors i go with white or grey.
that way its not to much and not as noticibal

1) PAIN: the braces will hurt while you are getting them, and when you get home. try eating soft foods, because chewing will hurt A LOT for the first three days or so. eat soup, applesauce, icecream, pudding, yogurt, etc. the pain will decrease in about 3 days. to stop the pain take advil or tylenol.
2)COLORS: stay away from yellows and light oranges. these colors will make your teeth look yellow. i like getting teal for summer, i also get blues and pinks and purples a lot. i would stay away from getting black, because that is a bold color and will draw more attention to your mouth. i've always gotten one color in my whole mouth, but i know that you can get every other color as well.
3)SOCCER BALLS: i've never heard of this, and i know that my orthodontist never gave that as an option. but if you like soccer you could always getting white & black braces.
GOOD LUCK!

well. i have braces now. when i first got them out it hurt. and i couldnt eat anything hard. so all i mostly eat was ice cream ( which actually help the pain because its cold ) and apple sauce ect. all the save liquid stuff. you can also use a gum number. whats what i did and it helped a lot. but after 5 - 7 days my mouth started to feel a whole lot better. and for the colors you can do.. one of your faviorte colors and do a dark shade and a light shade of it. (ex: dark pink & light pink ) < thats what i have. or you can pick 2 of your faviorte colors, but make sure that match. so basicly anything that matchs together will be fine. and for the soccer balls, i havnt heard anything about that but that would be call cause i play soccer too.
i hope i helped<3
anymore questions you can ask me :)
