LOL same ... buh got told dat i kan only go widout the retainer for half a day ><" i noe dats really bad coz i only got my braces taken off a few months ago
^ yeah i'm always scared i'm going to lose my retainers. but i seriously have to remember to wear my retainers. ><;;
it feels strange for the first couple of days then u get used to it..but still hurts each time they tighten it..n then u get used to it etc.. um..avoid gum, sticky chewy sweets n chocolate cos it can be a pain to remove from ya braces.. P.s getting braces arent that bad cos it will be worth it in the end..=)
think I need to start wear braces.. started to see bad last few months.. and I'm 18.. pretty late too..
just wear it at nite...u mite feel a lil tyte in the begging when u first wear it every nigte but u'll get used to it =)...tlk to ur orthodontist
When I first got my retainers, I wear them all the time (and take them out before a meal)... then I lost my retainers during a move (don't know where it end up in one of the boxes) Then I bought another set and wear them when I am at home.
I just went to the dentist person for the first time and, he putted 4 rubber bands in my teeths in the back. And the sad thing is when i woked up in the morning, it hurts so much and, i can't chew anything.T.T And ummm, what's a retainer? you mean i may still have to wear something even when, i take off the braces? Another thing is that, i like to laugh a lot .So if i smile, would it better if i do it closed or open with teeth(scared it would scare people)?*Any suggestions on fruits that i can eat without getting hurt or stuck?*
i had braces and i thought it wasnt that bad.....it did hurt as first but i got used to it....i did practically everything the orthodontist told me not to do like chew gum, eat apples, and etc... nothing bad happened to be though....but i wouldnt recommend doing what i did
i forgot to mention.. I DIDN:T GET ELASTICS HAHAHAHAH =p =p...just RUBBING it in lol =)...i know they're annoying and u gota carry them around too cause they break easily
lmfao... none of these guys are even smiling and showing teeth.. how are u supposed to know how good their dental work is -bigclap
i forgot to mention.. I DIDN:T GET ELASTICS HAHAHAHAH =p =p...just RUBBING it in lol =)...i know they're annoying and u gota carry them around too cause they break easily[/QUOTE] So mean! I'm in pain and, could bearly Talk/Eat/Sleep here! Lol j/k! But how long would it be to get use to it?
So mean!=( I'm in pain and, could bearly Talk/Eat/Sleep! J/K lols! But how long would it get use to it?
Rubber bands? The tiny rubber bands? I had them too on my plastic brace or also called retainers and it's a pain in the ass to put them on. About the smiling part: just smile like you always do, don't care about what others may think of you. Again, think about the endresults. Banana, kiwi's, strawberries and apple compote are the fruits you can eat. (really, don't your own dentist tell you these things on what to eat and what to avoid?)
i'm going to be 16 in nov. and ,no the dentist only told me what the visits are for and not to eat candy (And also lying to me that none of the procedure would hurt me one bit ). Thank you for the fruit tips!
^Ha, he's probably trying to comfort you by lying about it. Mine told me the truth; it will hurt as hell at the start and his assistents told me every info I needed, including teaching me how to clean my teeth. (after I had the braces ofcourse) But then, I have to add after a week or so you must try to bite on somethig harder than soft fruit to get your teeth used to it as you can't live on soft food as long you have the braces.
