Do I have a cavity? What are these brownish spots forming on my teeth?
I have a bunch of brownish spots forming on my teeth. I never forget to brush my teeth, so I don't understand why they are forming. If they were cavities, they would hurt a ton or be really sensitive, which they aren't. I think I had my teeth sealed when I was younger so I would not get cavities, so I am quite perplexed. I don't know whether I will be able to go to the dentist soon, though, because I haven't been able to
go in two years, even though I'm supposed to go every six months because I have braces. What should I do?

Are you unable to afford it or just haven't gone for whatever reason? If you have braces and haven't gone back in 2 years I think you definitely need to. You usually see a dentist every 6 months for cleaning, sometimes every 3 if your teeth are really bad unless you need work done.
Believe it or not not all cavities hurt. I know this because a dentist told me I had cavities I never felt or knew about until they showed up on his TV screen camera as he poked around. Fillings on that camera looked grey and dark brown is how cavities looked on the camera.
I'm not a dentist but have had a ton of stuff done this year. I can't say nor can anyone here exactly what your brown spots represent and nobody could without that knowledge or your dental chart and x-ray.
I've never heard of teeth sealing before either. Might you mean caps? I'm not sure what you mean but either way do get to a dentist. It's time. From what I know anyone can get a cavity. Make an appointment, get it checked out and talk to them about payment options if need be.
