Crooked Teeth.

By daanteee September 19, 2020 7 answers Last updated September 19, 2020

Hello, girl, I'm 15. My problem is my teeth. As a child, my smile was fine (with baby teeth). After a while, when they fell on me and started to show, the constants changed radically ... they grew very strange and crooked. At first I didn't pay attention to them and laughed freely without taking a nap. When I was 12 they decided to put splints on me ... they put me (upper and lower). At first I was very motivated to wear them, but after the 1st month I got tired of them and I was ashamed to go to school with them, so I only wore them at night. After a while I didn't put them on at all and stopped going to the dentist (don't ask me and I don't know). My parents are not the ones who force me to do something, and my mother did not pay any attention to the fact that I do not put them on and that I do not go to tighten them for me. Over time, my teeth became more and more crooked, and this fact bothered me more and more. I started to hide my smile, I still can't smile calmly or laugh without worrying ... I'm very sick. I know I'm guilty, but it's my childish job ... My mother still agrees to put braces on me, but that will happen in a few months. I have taken a lot of insults because of my dull crooked teeth and I hate them a lot. And I don't dare to catch a boyfriend because of them, and a lot of guys like me, but if they see my teeth I don't know if they will continue. It's just that all my teeth fail ... I have another problem, my teeth are slightly stained, in the sense that they are not sparkling white, they turn a little yellow. I wash them regularly and use mouthwash, thread too. None of the dentists I went to told me I had tartar (believe me, I went to many dentists: D). For whitening at home alone - I do not want to try, all the methods I have heard damage the enamel, and I prefer a professional or whitening paste, instead of playing with my teeth alone and damage them even more. And for Prof. Bleaching I'm still young. So my questions to you are: 1. If you wore braces, how long did you wear them? 2. Does anyone know how least time to wear and how much most? 3. This question is a bit silly, but when they put braces on you, is it difficult to close your mouth and do they interfere? Does it make your mouth swell, look bigger, or is it all the same? 4. Are there any whitening pastes that you have used and REALLY WHITEN? and 5. For how long after you put on your braces do your teeth start to adjust? And yes people, I would be very grateful if someone read my story and answered some of my questions. :) all the methods I've heard damage the enamel, and I prefer a professional or whitening paste, instead of playing with my teeth alone and damaging them even more.

   Dear girl, I am 16 and have been wearing braces for 4-5 months. In the beginning I asked myself the same questions as you and it was not superfluous to read various topics on the Internet, because a lot of people were discussing, but obviously you did not want to get acquainted with it properly. Applying braces does not hurt, it may be uncomfortable, but not painful. After you put them on after 2 hours, your teeth will start to hurt, so eat beforehand. With each walk to tighten you will hurt 3-4 days and end. My mouth doesn't swell, even when I put on my braces I had a boyfriend and he didn't even realize I had one. We kissed, we talked and he didn't notice and then a friend accidentally spotted me and knew I had braces and started asking me about them and only then did he see. So make sure they look special. As for when they'll fix you up, I can't give you an exact deadline. For me, 1 year and 4-5 months, because my problem is a few teeth, but for you, if they are all crooked, it is possible for 2 years. Abe, if you put them on now, you'll take them off by the ball. They get better with each person at different times, but let me tell you about the short months I've been wearing them, one of my teeth is straight and fitted and it's fine. It is worth trying, another thing that after removing the braces there is a mandatory whitening, so you will be fine. Put it on boldly and don't wait too long, because the older you get, the longer you will wear them. but let me tell you about the short months since I've been wearing them, one of my teeth is straight and fitted and it's fine.

   The first thing you need to know about wearing braces is that you need to be very strict and take care of them regularly and with quality. I am currently wearing braces, in less than a month one of my teeth is almost straight. You can wear them for 1 year, maybe 3. Everything is according to the case, as well as the price. When they put braces on you, your mouth does not swell, it does not look bigger and it closes normally. Calm down: D. For the first few days I had a problem eating, because it was still weird, it hurt, but after a week I didn't have much trouble. In general, these are my impressions, the important thing is not to worry about what others think, because, as you yourself may see, lately it is a common practice for people (especially teenagers) to wear.

   Oh, I know how you feel! I am also 15 and as a child I had a lot of crooked teeth, more specifically dog ​​teeth. Then my parents wanted to put braces on me, but I flatly refused and put on splints. The first day at school with splints and everyone was making fun of me. I started wearing them only at home, then only when I slept and finally I stopped wearing them. My teeth are relatively straight, but the two dogs are still ahead and I feel very uncomfortable, whenever I laugh I cover my mouth ... But I decided to put on braces now, no matter how much I don't want to, at least from that I learned that the earlier, the better, because if I listened to my parents as a child now I would not have such a problem :)) So you go boldly

   From the author: The problem with me is 2 teeth, but they spoil everything for me. I do not believe in wearing them for more than 2 years. It depends on the teeth themselves, everyone is different. Today a girl from my class appeared with braces, I hadn't looked at her and until another girl told me I wouldn't even notice, but then when I looked at her mouth a little and she was a little bigger than usual. I will not put it now because they have booked an appointment for April, because it was not good to put braces in the winter .. -.- To number 3: And my dogs are crooked, they are my problem. They just grew a little higher for me and are ahead. Abe will put on braces. I do not care. Better 1-2 years or there with braces than a lifetime with crooked teeth. :) Thank you.

   You have nothing to worry about wearing braces. At first it's a little nasty until you get used to it, but for me it was only the first 2 3 weeks. When everyone is used to seeing you like that, they won't be impressed either. After putting them on, the teeth start to hurt a lot, but that's only a few days. I wore them for 1 year and 9 months exactly, but each is different, depending on how the teeth will fit. Wearing braces I even find very cool. After they took them off, it was even weird for me, I wanted to have them again. As for the swelling - yes, my lips were swollen because my braces were like cubes, and there are others that are flatter. It depends on what they put on you. Before I wore braces, I was ashamed to smile, but now it's different. It's worth going through everything, but then you feel like a new person.

   I am in a similar situation as you. My front two upper teeth are longer than normal and my bite is not accurate, there is a discrepancy. I didn't care much before, but lately it annoys me. I will be wearing splints soon (good thing they are not braces). I've heard that braces damage the enamel, but since I'm not a doctor, I can't tell you if it's true. I want to tell you not to listen to what others are going to say and not to care at all. As she said, it is better to wear braces now than to always have crooked teeth. Good luck.

   You don't have to worry at all about wearing braces for a while. Better 2 years with them than hiding your smile for life. My decision to get braces was quite impulsive. As I was reading about them in forums, I picked up the phone and called two orthodontists and it's been 3 months since I've been with them. My opinion is that braces are not so bad. Maybe only the first week, when you get used to it and tell everyone why and when you put them on. Then it's just the thrill of seeing how slowly things happen.
