Someone uses or have used dental brace here? How it works?

How it works?

I’m planning to put dental brace next month.

I had to see an orthodontist as a kid. Got braces - not the fixed ones but one I could take out. Some people only wear them at night.

According to my younger nephew there is not too much social stigma at school for using them.

@Jimbob ,

At my course there are many people that uses dental brace, and I have to fix a tooth and my roots of teeth and the teeth themselves.

They fix your teeth over the coarse of many months. I found them mildly uncomfortable at first, and on the occasions the dentist modified them.

Do you know what kind of braces you are going to get?

@Jimbob ,

I think that it’s the traditional kind, the fixed type.

@Jimbob ,

But I think that the dentist needs to check the teeth first to decide the type that I’ll use.

Cool. I think you quickly forget you are wearing them. And at the end of the day it is worth it to get nice teeth :grin:

@Jimbob ,

Is difficult to clean the teeth when you have dental brace?

I never had the fixed type so don’t really know. I remember my nephew being told to specially avoid sugary drinks as they n effect the metal braces - at least I think he was told that, can’t quite remember.

Suppose you would just clean them normally with a brush and a decent mouthwash would probably clean the areas the brush couldn’t reach.

My oldest daughter just got braces. They gave her a special brush to get between the areas where the braces are, and special things to make flossing possible. It takes some extra effort, but can be done.

@Jimbob ,

Do you know what is the difference between the types of dental brace?

Sorry don’t really know. Just had a removable one for my top teeth.

@Jimbob ,

Ok. Thank you for your help. :grin:

Has it chipped?

No, it’s caries.

@Jimbob,

I need to brushing teeth properly,
the problem is that I drink much coffee and the sugar…

@Andy I too put sugar in my coffee. Have now changed to tea which I like without sugar.

@Jimbob,

I had many teeth with caries probably due to sugar.

@Jimbob,

Right now one tooth is hurting.
