Here is a list of the items my dentist has recommended I use for my newly installed braces. 1.) floss with threaders so you can get it between braces and teeth.
2.)wax to put between any braces that rub your gums and cheeks.
3.) a good toothbrush and paste of your choosing, an electric brush does the
best job.
4.) having dentek easy brush cleaners with you when away from home is
good for removing food until you can get to a brush and floss.
5.) my dentist also has me use flouride mouth wash every other day.
Hope this helps!
You usually don't have to buy anything other than what you already were using. (toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.) Most orthodontists will give out little "braces care" packages. They usually have a toothbrush, one of those dental mirrors, a Proxabrush, some floss, some floss threaders, and dental wax. If not, I recommend buying some Proxabrushes and floss threaders. Proxabrushes are like little toothbrushes that get food out from underneath the wires of your braces, believe me, you're going to need them. Floss threaders are like needles, except they aren't made of metal and the eye of the "needle" is a lot bigger. You tie floss around the "eye of the needle" and then thread the floss underneath your wires and floss as usual. It is very difficult to floss your teeth with a wire half-way in between, so floss threaders get the floss underneath the wire to make flossing easier. You might also want to get some dental wax. You put dental wax on your braces to keep them from poking. Dental wax can be found at most major drug stores, or it can be provided by your orthodontist.
Your teeth get straight and then look way better
In order to get braces for your teeth, you will need to visit the dentist or a orthodontist. These health care professionals will be able to offer advice about whether you need braces and suggest which ones will be most suitable for you.
I went to the orthodontist today. On the first day I went they did molds and x-rays. At the second visit they will tell you what they need to do to your teeth, such as, orthopedic care or getting braces. Then on your third visit they will give you braces, however this is only if you need braces.
You should see a dentist or an orthodontist.
I got my braces when i was eight, and now my teeth are perfect. The sooner the better.
No they do not. It's stupid I know . I need braces &' Care source does not cover it. I have a sever over bite my dentist avised me to get braces but he looked at my insurance and said wait nevermind they don't cover it. My pain could be solved by braces but yet they say no. So I am saving up to about 4,000$ so I can help my body and get ride of the pain.
In order to receieve braces you need to have lost all of your baby teeth. The answer to your question is yes, I know of a couple people who had to get adult teeth pulled to get braces. So yes.
I would say (if you personally asked me) that animals do not need braces. Why? Because animals mouths are oddly shaped so putting braces in would be very tough. Another thing is, nature basically gives the animals perfect mouths from day one. So giving braces to animals is not really needed. But that does not mean animals don't need dental care. In fact without dental care an animals mouth would be so painful it might need surgery to fix the pain. I think braces would cause pain then actually help.
no dogs don't need braces
A dentist will usually tell you if you need braces or not.
You can't get braces on baby teeth. The girl would have to have her permanent teeth first (and should, by the age of 13). Needing braces is a matter of genetics and heredity. Some people have perfectly straight teeth naturally. Others (like me!) have needed braces. ~ T
It depends on how far you need your jaw pulled forward
Your orthodontist will usually tell you if you need rubber bands or not.
