Mysterious Gurl Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hello everyone, Okay, I'm not usually scared of the dentist but in this instant I am. I have to have some braces fitted some time soon and I'm nervous. I was just wondering what is it they do when the apply your braces? Is there any needles involved? I'm petrified of needles!! Also does it hurt in anway?? I have sensetive teeth so their going to make my gum line more stronger. Any advice would be helpful. Miya Link to comment
rosierizzle Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I don't know anything about the procedure but a few friends have had them put in and they say it only hurts a little! Good Luck! Just think about how great your teeth will look afterwards! Link to comment

Mysterious Gurl Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Do you mean when you go to bed to sleep or when the dentist puts you too sleep? Thanks for the advice you two Miya Link to comment
koolaidnovel Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 No, getting them fitted doesn't hurt. No needles. Just be prepared for the few days to a few weeks afterwards when your teeth are extremely sensitive to anything. I couldn't even eat pancakes...I only ate jello and pudding for 2 weeks straight. (kidding, but pretty close). Link to comment
Mysterious Gurl Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 Oh well thats good then! Phew! I hate needles I freak out at them! I'm alright with braces. Not paranoind, I just hate needles and I heard tightening them up hurts a bit. Miya Link to comment
nexus532 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 yeah don't get to worried about it, just don't ever break your braces, the dentists will get very angry. Link to comment
Mysterious Gurl Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 I didn't know it was possible to break them? Link to comment
MelodyCalls Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Depends on the type of brace for breakage. The "train track" braces can come off the tooth, but it doesn't hurt. I actually miss my braces. I used to like getting them tightened, it was always quite relaxing. I was still glad to have them removed though, simply because I wasn't allowed to chew gum when I had them. Two years without gum is a long time. Link to comment
soon2bfamous Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 i play for aresenal too! and no braces are no big thing, can hardly feel them when they get on, its after. when ur teeth start to moove. but nothing that a frapachino cant fix! Link to comment
chai714 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Getting braces put on is really no big deal. Take it from me, I had them a few years ago. You'll feel some pressure when they insert some small metal looking things on your molars, but other than that it's painless. The part that is painful is the day after. Your teeth will have some pressure on them that they're not used to, and naturally they will be very sore. I remember the day after I had my braces on, I couldn't even eat a banana. So, get the milkshakes ready . . or drink Ensure. Getting your braces off is equally non-painful as getting them on. Each time you go see your orthodontist, he'll "tighten" them. The pain then comes a day later and lasts a few days to just over a week. The end result of braces is well worth it though. You can smile with confidence, and there's nothing sexier than a pretty smile. Link to comment
Mysterious Gurl Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Thanks for all your replies. I was worried because some kids at school says it hurts like hell and that you'd snap your nails when you tightly clench the chair arm!!! I feel sooooo much better now!! I thought that needles would be involved and a lot of pain! Now I know it's just my friends winding me up! Thank-you so much all! *hugs to all* Miya x Link to comment
Coolcatjas Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hey I have braces, it is not that bad! the first couple of weeks is kind of hard, but the rest is all downhill! You teeth will be fixed in no time! But there are downsides to braces. For one thing, food gets stuck in your teeth. AGH! I hate that! And also sometimes the wires they put on your teeth cut your lips. All in all, braces aren't that bad, sometimes I don't even feel them. You will get used to your braces, PROMISE! Link to comment
Mysterious Gurl Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 well im seeing my doctor on the 2nd of june. The he's going to refere me to a specialist for my braces. I feel much better now. I can live with a bit of discomfort. Miya Link to comment
_hopeless_ Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I have braces.. they suck but they don't hurt so don't worry.. there are no needles involved.. they may hurt a bit after you get them on.. because your mouth isn't used to them but they have stuff for that. Link to comment
Mysterious Gurl Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Well I'm having braces to get rid of the gaps between my teeth also my teeth are sensitive to hot or cold food as well. The braces plays a role in protecting my teeth. Miya Link to comment
Mysterious Gurl Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Wow Sheyda, Sorry to hear about you bad experiance with dentists!! What an idiot! I would have complained to his boss! Putting you through that! Also Jazmine told me that if you kiss someone when you have braces, then your brace gets stuck in their mouth!? That true? Also, If you have braces and the other peson has braces then both sets of braces become tangled! Is that true? Or is she having me on? Tehe, I sound pathetic! But I feel to shy to ask the dentist.
