How Do Braces Work?

The fact everybody with braces clicked even though we know 💀

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.

Q: How do braces work? A: They just do.

I felt so uncomfortable at the beginning

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

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!

This many people has braces on, after July 2020. 👇

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. ~ From someone with braces

Who else is watching cause they just got braces? 😂

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 👊🏾

It "used" to be a torture device. IT STILL IS A TORTURE DEVICE

Legit getting my braces in 10 minutes 😂

That’s amazing how braces make your teeth straight, like who thought of that

As someone had said, if you're going to have braces, or do have them, don't fret. I had braces for 1.5 years when I was supposed to have them for 2.5 or 3 years. - Braces aren't nearly as bad as you think. - Make sure to brush twice a day, use mouth rinse, and floss to prevent tooth decay from braces. - You can eat a lot more stuff with braces than you can imagine. (The food I had the most difficulty with was bread) - They don't even hurt that badly, usually unnoticeable. The first week will be the worst, but it's still not even that bad. Even though everyone speaks of braces sucking and being absolute torture, I assure you it's not bad at all. The worst part has to be when the braces uncomfortably prick the sides of your mouth. But that's what wax is for, so don't worry.

I’ve just had my braces on and watching her bite into that apple hit me in the feels

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 Your welcome

For those of you that have braces I understand it hurts but others here can't even get them because they are way to pricey.

If teeth is stronger than steel, CAN YOU HIT IT WITH A HAMMER AND SURVIVE?!?!

who in 2019 wd braces??
