Braces Questions?

Question

Are all these things normal to have with starting braces?:
-*THE WORST* Is Swallowing weird like puckering my lips and sucking spit back to swallow which is becoming a habit hard ot forget about
-Having to much saliva in mouth especially around the braces
-Getting raw cheek and sores in mouth
-Getting food constanly stuck everywhere in your mouth between your braces
-Making your lips look a little fatter when your mouths closed and weirder looking when you talk
-Talking weird with certain words and sounds like the words with F's and S's syllabels which makes me angry at itme because i want to talk like i use to and not sound weird and struggle as much

All of these things areh appening to me them sot annoying are the speech and swallowing. Has this happened to any of you guys who have or had braces? If so how long does it last for? Feedback plz...
I HATE THESE F*IN THINGS IN MY MOUTH!!! (and i still have a year nad a half to go :(((((((

Answer 1

Yes, they are normal, dont worry about it. I read the answers posted by several other people. I think they have either a poor attitude towards dental health or a lousy Orthodontist. I am an Orthodontist practicing for more than 10 years. Just think about the positives - Once you are done you will have a bright radiant smile. However, make sure you carry your travel tooth brush and floss along with floss threader. Rinse several times a day with warn salt water. Use the wax it they bother your cheeks. Make sure you ask your Orthodontist for more wax at your next retie/adjustment. The was you get from an Orthodontic office has silicone in it and will stick to the brackets better. Hope that helps.

no it does not harm to get braces on or off...they do not must numb you or some thing all they do is find this precise ortho glue stuff and positioned your braces on. They will supply you a retainer while you get them off and it's well to put on it since it preserve your enamel in location so they do not transfer and then you definately could turn out to be with braces once more. That happend to me and that i needed to rounds of braces and that each one further as much as approximately 5 - 6 years of braces and it sucked. For the quantity factor i feel like three is pee and poop in combination and four is like throw up, five diarea, idn wish i helped : )

Answer 3

Those seem OK 2 me...

And I HAVE brace right now, as I type. I got them 1 1/2 years ago, and I have another 2 years to go!!! (Yeah... suxxxx 2 B me...) I kno how U feel, cuse' when I got them, they hurted so bad& I was so frustrated cuse' EVERYTHING got stuck in them!!! But you get used to having them-- THAT'S A FACT. And you might even enjoy them... (I know-- I'm a lil' weird!) But having braces means that your teeth will be straight, and sometimes, you can make stupid excusses to not eat food (like my mom's "creative" dishes!) So having braces aren't ALL bad!!!

And a lil' weird thing from weird me-- I sometimes feel "good" about my braces, cuse' some ppl say I look good with them. Maybe you can enjoy them too!!! :)

Answer 4

Trust me this has all happened to me and I still have sores and all that junk. You will get used to it, it is now like a part of everyday life. To get the food out of your mouth at my Wal-Mart where I live they had this $2.00 thing and it had 2 picks and it helps get food out from between your teeth and bracket. Hang in there.

Answer 5

it is totally normal u will get used 2 talking in them and the sores and discomfort will go away . and if ur mouth gets 2 sore just take tylenol! also the sores and cuts u get on the side of ur mouth will go away in about 2 weeks and then the cuts and sores will only come occasionally

Answer 6

i have been in your shoes and can only say that all of the hassle will be worth it when they come off ... trust me. carry floss with you to get the food out of your teeth, use the wax to help against the rubbing on your cheeks and gums it does help. the rubbing, talking funny, big lips and etc will all pass after time and you really won't notice it.
