Braces :#

And don’t eat corn.

yay, anothter dental procedure that I won’t have to have done. I guess my teeth like me or something because they’ve never given me any issues.

Ugh the rubber bands…I always chewed gum and kept snapping mine. They are SO annoying. And yes, don’t eat popcorn, because the remnants will stay in there. That happened to me and I got scolded. It’s gross. Always brush your teeth, because you will be funkin’.

I know you probably won’t believe me but…I’ve never been to a dentist…

That’s probably why you have no teeth :D.

I was told not to eat them I could aviod it on day one.

Big Nutter
It a pain one elstisic of the Back teeth come off.

I said I have a very small mouth. There’s probably less than half an inch between my braces (yeah, they’re the train-tracks, look at the smilie on the thread title), and the gums at the top of my mouth. Basically, if I even close my mouth, the braces are touching the top of it.

Ok…after my braces story none of you can complain. I had a tooth impacted in the roof of nmy mouth so they hadta cut open the roof of my mouth, take a drill to the bone part of the roof of my mouth, loosen the impacted tooth, attach a chain to it and then slowly pull it down, thne the chain came off. So they hadta do the whole process except for the drilling again. But, now I’m almost done. so it’s all ok.

One word- OW!

i think you can chew sugarless gum. i did and i had no problem with it but you might want to ask your orthodontist first

Ummm… yes please!!! PLEASE!!! do use them, because I did the booboo of stop seeing my ortho, then stopped wearing it… then my bottom teeth are now all like crooked… .DONT!!! Yet me wrong, they are straight yes… but i mean… they could use braces again to straighten out… I think it might be because of my wisdom teeth… not to sure though… dentist said I had to get all 4 pulled… YAY!!! NOT!!! sighs

If you had the rubber bands and one snapped couldn’t you choke on one?

Nah, they were caught on little wire thingys that stopped them falling away.

I had them for 2 years. They sucked. And I hated getting them tightened, but I never really cared after like a day or two. Getting them off SUCKED ass. And I never wore my retainer, and my teeth are fine (I’m a junior now).

The sheet I got from my orthodontist even before my braces were put on says to stop chewing any gum.

I’ve been doing alright due to this numbing cream I got from my orthodontist. Swallowing is still a bit of a problem but it should get better after my gums heal.
