>> No.14198731

What do you mean by weaken it? Sure I guess physically it lowers durability temporarily but it will return to pre-bracer strength.

What happens with bracers is that the wires push and pulls on your teeth in different directions causing the body to remove bone in the direction the push is happening while filling the gap in the opposite direction. Thats why you have the retainers afterwards to avoid the teeth from creeping back.

I had mine for maybe a two years??? I was really young when I had them put in so I can't say so for sure. Just trust your orthodontist, they go through eons of schooling and make bank so they're there to make sure your pearly whites turn out fine.

My teeth are straight and it feels nice knowing I can smile with pride.

Braces also make a great conversation starter, especially with the well-off kids who had them when they were young.
You get used to them real quick, anon, highly recommended

Ortho student here. Can you post what the braces may be called? Are you willing to post your grill? Curious about your case. It may also be that he will give you a separate appliance which massages the gums (you use it for 20-30 mins a day) which helps shift the teeth in half the time.

Get them asap if you can afford. It may be a 3 year freaking process for all you know. You won't regret it, but it will be a struggle. Watch people's testimonials. They will also make you appear younger so doing it younger is best.

My teeth aren't that bad, they are actually fairly straight except on my left half past the left front tooth all my teeth are in an underbite, I wouldn't normally mind this except for the fact that I'm almost certain this underbite has skewed my jaw and has made my face fairly uneven because of it.

Will braces also align my jaw too and make my face a bit more symmetrical? if not, what other options are there? pic related is my jaw

FYI for people getting braces for the first time; I hope you enjoy pain.
I've had mine since October last year (Need to get jaw surgery because my lower jaw is asymmetrical and juts out further than the top. Already got my wisdom teeth pulled for it in January.) and whenever they've replaced the wires, I can hardly eat anything for almost a week later. The first day with them on I woke up in pain because of how badly it hurt, and attempting to eat anything, even a banana, was far too painful. The best thing you'll be able to eat that doesn't require chewing is soup. Also, if you don't already have one, I highly recommend buying a waterpik to make your hygienic life with braces on a whole lot easier. You will not regret the purchase you've made, because it's by far the easiest way of getting shit out from your braces, which depending on what you eat, you'll find yourself getting food stuck between them often.

i had the pain too, it was about 3 days after they replaced the wire but i could eat soft foods, just had to use my molars to break off bits of food.

i had mine for about 1,5 years, but my teeth weren't that bad beforehand.
still have the little metal wire behind my teeth, too. i don't think they're ever supposed to take that off.
