How Do Braces Work?

Показать описание

Braces are a lot more barbaric - and awesome - than you might think. But they actually just copy the process that the rest of your bones naturally undergo! Andrea, an MIT Sloan Fellow, explains.

*hits blunt*
how are teeth harder than steel if your teeth can't break steel but steel can break teeth

I've always been extremely insecure about my teeth to the point where I don't even show my smile because of it. I've always wanted braces ever since I was little, but my family just couldn't afford it. You guys are lucky to be given this opportunity.

I felt so uncomfortable at the beginning

I've had my braces for about 12 hours...already swallowed a bracket...

Just finished wearing them yesterday, wearing clear retainers now . 2 years and 8 months of wearing them. My teeths was crowded as fuck before, now it's straight and my bite works like magic. Trust me to all those who plans to get braces, GET THEM. Yes in early stages it's going to cause a bit of pain but after awhile you'll get used to it trust me and others who had them. In the end, you'll have a life changing experienced, new smile and new you ;) . My journey has passed, now it's yours. Goodluck braces gang 👊🏾

To all those dudes raving about braces:
They aren't that bad.
The pain will subside.
Your teeth will be better because of them.
You can surprisingly eat a lot of food with them.

i got braces last year. here’s a tip/fact:

i still had to do things after, so i had to eat and live life. at first you feel awkward, it doesn’t hurt like you think it would, at least immediately. after a few hours, it will affect you and it will hurt, so be careful. my tip is to heat up toaster pastries really soft, cut them into small slices, and chew with your back teeth, because they hurt less, also get a pillow, find a corner, and smush your forehead right into the pillow. this helped me

before i got braces, i had spacers to be able to get the rings on my molars. i thought they were the most uncomfortable part of the braces process. the next morning, i woke up and one was gone, that meant it worked well. i thought i swallowed it until that night, where i found it in my bed,

if you get powerchains, they suck

so do rubber bands. i once in public forgot to take them out and ate pasta with marinara sauce, and they were stained red, i realized i didn’t have a change, and it looked like i ate someone.

tips!

Just had my braces.. It wasn't painful yesterday (I had it done yesterday afternoon) but when I woke up it hurt so bad! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

If you're getting braces, immediately after getting the, and leaving the orthodontist, the clock is ticking and you have a maximum of 2 hours to eat any food without initial pain. There might be discomfort and awkwardness, but no pain
