If you only have an overibte but your teeth are straight how long would you keep your braces on for?
Ask your dentist.
Do all teeth get braced during braces?
No. If you only have a problem with your top teeth, only your top will get braces. Sometimes the ortodontist doesn't put braces on the back teeth until later. Sometimes, although this doesn't happen much, the braces will only be placed on the front four teeth.
Do you have to always have teeth out if you get braces?
Yes, all of your teeth must be fully grown in to get braces. Braces are glued to each individual tooth. Therefore, if one tooth were to fall out while the wearer had braces, the new tooth would be unaffected by the braces.
If my bottom front teeth are too crowded can the dentist pull one out and leave only three and put braces to push them together or is it odd to have only three middle bottom teeth?
Your best option is to discuss this with a qualified orthodontist. Removing teeth is fairly common in orthodontic treatment, however, it usually involves removing a tooth or teeth further back in the mouth and then spreading out the front teeth with braces to close that gap. This way your normal appearance is preserved.
Can you get braces on the backside of only 2 teeth that need straightening?
Yes, Lingual Braces.
How long do you keep ceramic braces on the teeth?
REALLY CERAMIC BRACES ARE LIKE REGULAR (STAINLESS STEEL) BRACES, THE ONLY THING THAT CHANGES (OBVIOUSLY) IS THE COLOR AND THE SIZE. THEY SHOULD LAST THE SAME ON YOUR TEETH AS THE REGULAR ONES AND IF YOU TAKE REALLY GOOD CARE OF THEM, YOU WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM... = )
Do braces on the bottom teeth work without putting braces on the upper ones too?
There are very few cases where the Orthodontist would only put braces on the bottom teeth and not both. Most of the time they require the patient to wear them on the top and the bottom because it is better for alignment versus only moving the teeth on the bottom. However, if you have the right alignment without braces on the top, then the Orthodontist will only recommend braces for the bottom teeth.
Why do people need a retainer after braces?
To keep the teeth together. Sure your braces will make your teeth straight but they can open up a gap again ( if that is the reason you needed braces). So a retanier will only keep the teeth straight
Are braces the only way to fix teeth?
no there is a solution invisalign
Is medical covers teeth braces?
yes they do. they only cover braces if your dentist says it is medically necessary.
Is it true when the dentist take out your braces and you have silver teeth?
No you only get a retainer.
Should you be excited about braces?
I've had my braces for almost two years.... the only reason I was ever excited about braces was that I would eventually get them off and have awesome teeth:] but BRACES suck you don't enjoy eating especially if you have rubberbands and EVERYTHING gets stuck in your teeth and by the next meal you still have food in your teeth
