1. When you got your braces (fixed) on, were you unhappy with your image? Were you more satisfied with your looks?

2. What colors bands did you like best on your braces?

3. If you've had them removed, was it worth the trouble in the end?

4. Did you have any difficulties or setbacks with braces? If so, what were they? Can these be prevented?

Just curious; getting braces in 2 days =]
Thanks!

It's been 11 years since i had braces but I work for an orthodontist and I'd just like to say that the results are great. I see such beautiful teeth everyday. If you brush them well the entire time and watch what you eat and drink you'll do great. Then just make sure you wear your retainer the way you are instructed once you get them off. That is the only set back. Not wearing your retainer will allow your teeth to move. I know it can be annoying but once you get it over with you'll only have to wear it at night and that's it. Also if you should have to wear headgear or elastics make sure you wear them like you are told. It helps you get through faster. As far as your image goes, you may not like them at first but you will get used to them and it's so worth it. Personally I think braces are adorable. You shouldn't worry what anyone thinks becuase most people have either already had them or they will end up with them. (Or they do have them)


Okay, Colors!!!!!

I like....... Turquoise and pink or purple, or all 3 together
Hot pink and Black
Plain pink and yellow look good too
Turquoise and Black
Add orange to the very first one and that's good for summer colors
You could get pink and red for valentine's day

There are lots of colors. My favorites involve pink but there are so many. Green and Pink, Maroon and Pink, It's fun!!!

Good Luck!!!!!!

Braces are a pain and expensive for parents but well worth the money.

My daughter was in braces for about 2 years and My son 6 years. He had much more major work.

They both have beautiful teeth now and agree it was worth the trouble.

My only advice is that after your braces when they give you a retainer, WEAR the retainer at night most of the week. If you don't, your teeth will go back out and this will give you serious jaw problems.
