I am getting braces today and I need help deciding; I only have a few hours to make my decision! Please help!??
Question: Metal, or colored? And if so, which ones look the coolest colors for boys?
Answers: ***metallic red is kool
***NEVER get white or clear bands cause white looks like food is stuck in ur braces and clear like it u eat ketchup or a lollipop or somethin, they stain
***they put the bands, and then every time u go back u get to choose new colors
k
i have gotton em on over 6 times (dont ask!)
it doesnt hurt dont worry-it is just a long process and it tastes kinda bad
they give u a band on ur molars fiist, to see ur size and stuff
first theu put this positioner thing is ur mouth, it makes your mouth stretch a lkot so they can see ur teeth, it will bother u for a minute or 2 but u will get used to it, u keep that thing on the WHOLE time
then there are these things that look like shots and stuff, i got really freaked out when i first saw them but actually, they dont go in ur mouth! this is the cement that they put on ur braces then they stick the braces on ur teeth
**the cement kinda tastes bad!
they do this the first time and every time u get them tightened:
they will put the rubber bands on ur braces with things that look like sisscors (they dont hurt) after that they put the wire-this is the most anoying part cause after they slip it in ur mouth, they have to cut it to make it fit right
then that is it!(the process is about 35 minutes)
Ur done
but after u do it, ask ur doctor for dental wax, dental cotton balls, and rubber cover up
***each person is different i bleed a little on the first day and i put a few cotton balls in my mouth for like 3 minutes
when u get home use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluids
then for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, pudding, jello, beans, yogurt, custard, fries, milkshakes, ice cream, and soft foods-avoid straws
every night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of days
every morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleaner
dont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i just got em off about four months ago-i luv my new smile!!!
I always did silver or dark blue, but whatever you get don't get white, they don't stay white they change to whatever color food you decide to eat and brushing doesn't help. Fortunately I didn't experience it for myself though, my orthodontist was awesome and told me before I did.
Colored for sure! Whatever color you like. You can change it out every so often so that you're not stuck with something you decide you don't like for too long.
Good luck!
Black look the best for boys.. or dark blue.. but not light coloured.. unless its white
colored would be cooler I had the old kind 20 some years ago it sucked
I have metal braces and it funs changing the colors every month. Stick with those because it's easier to clean than the clear ceramic braces. Black, blue, and green look coolest for boys. Good luck and take some pain medicine before you go!!!!
Personally, I would pick the clear braces. If you have to pick a color , pick one that makes you happy because you're gonna have to live with them. Maybe you could pick the color of your favorite sports team or something.
black
i got my braces off in september....but i can still help you. you should get color, i mean why not?? your going to have them for two years might as well have fun with them. my colors were black & green, blue and purple. those colors should be fine for guys, maybe not purple but anyways. just have fun with the colors, be creative. =)
colored.
i have metal i didn't have any other choice if i were you i'd get white so they're less noticable and chunks of food wouldn't be as noticable.
I would say metal. And then put colored rubber bands around. Stick to dark colors and orange.
any colour is cool with black
Well the braces are either metal or ceramic (clear). It's the rubber bands that they use to hold the wire onto the brackets that are colored. And since you'll get those changed every 1-2 months, don't worry about it. Just pick whatever you like.
