Braces-do u have to pull your teeth out??/?

my dentist said that i have go to the orthodontist and get braces.


i m only 12 and my teeth are really crooked. my sister even calls me a vampire. i asked my friends (who has braces..) and they looked at my teeth and said that i need to get my teeth pulled out!!


i m really scared.,,, i seriously need braces, but i dont want to pull my teeth out! are there other braces that u dont have to pull your teeth out? my friend also said that if u pull many teeth out u have to get retainers forever...is that true?

Braces-do u have to pull your teeth out??/?
hey dont worry about what your friends said. Yes he has braces but he is not an orthodontist so he doesnt have any idea really what is going on with your teeth and mouth.


I would think that the only reasons you would need to get teeth pulled for braces would be if you have very crowded teeth or still have your baby teeth.


If u do have baby teeth still or crowded teeth dont worry tho because it doesnt nessesarily mean they will be pulled out. The orthodontist may b able to correct the crowding without removing teeth or if u have baby teeth he may just wait until they fall out naturally before you get braces.


If you do need teeth pulled then dont stress. When i was 12 i had a number of my baby teeth pulled out, i was awake for it and it wasnt to painful, even after it wasnt 2 bad.


So yea dont stress about it, just get the braces, its not really as bad as some people on here say it is. Plus once u get them off u will have real nice teeth and your sister wont be able 2 call u mean names because of your teeth.


I dont kno about the retainer thing, i have heard of people having 2 wear them foreva but i personally dont kno anyone who had to. All my friends just had 2 wear them for a year or something. i havent got my braces off yet so i duno if i will hafta.
Reply:did u ask ur dentist abt it?
Reply:They won%26#039;t pull your teeth out. You will have to wear a retainer at first, so your teeth won%26#039;t go back to the way they were, but only at night. Don%26#039;t worry, I had braces for 4 years. You will be so happy when you see how good your teeth look.
Reply:u dont have 2 get them pulled. only if theres not enough room in your mouth. or if ur dentist suggested pulling only a few out to make ur teeth look even better.
Reply:Okay, if your teeth are crowded then your mouth must be small, like mine. You need to get teeth pulled if you want straight teeth! I had 4 teeth pulled and justgot braces Wednesday. When I got the teeth pulled, all I felt was the pinch of the needle and the pressure of the tooth being pulled. It wasnt a big deal. And Im a wimp with pain. Email me if you want more info%26lt;3





But yeah if you need to have teeth pulled, heres what happens:





1. Your dentist puts numbing gel on your gums.


2. You wait a couple minutes then he gives you the needle (you feel a slight pinch, its nothing)


3. You wait about 15 minutes to get numb.


4. Then, the dentist wiggles the tooth back and forth for a few seconds, then pulls, and you dont even know its out!





Its not that bad, so please dont worry like I did. Email me if you need anything else like on getting teeth pulled or braces!%26lt;3





Good Luck!
Reply:Someone is messing with you ! It%26#039;s possible that you may need to have one or two pulled or have it worked on.


My three nieces all wear braces.They might hurt at first,other than that it%26#039;s no big deal !


Whatever you do,please follow your orthodontist directions on how to take care of them !


You do have to wear a retainer after you get the braces off,otherwise your teeth will go back and get out of alignment and get crooked again.You don%26#039;t want to go there again do you ?


Wearing braces is the best thing you can do for yourself !





Keep smiling = }
Reply:Sounds like you need to get some teeth removed but it won%26#039;t be too bad. Teeth come out really easy when your 12.


Get the braces-your teeth will look great.
Reply:um, i dont think they will pull out your teeth... i havnt heard of that before. I had braces, and they didnt have to pull our my teeth, my sister need to get spacers to make room for teeth, but they didnt have to pull any out.
Reply:no you don%26#039;t, i went to an orthodontist who was really like up to date on the whole braces thing and i he said he never pulls teeth, plus i was able to get my braces on the back of my top teeth so no one even knew i had braces.
Reply:fisrt of all your friends that have them are probably 12 aswell, so dont listen to anything that they say, wait and get a professional opinion. Your crowding may be correctable without removing teeth but dont be suprised if they need to it%26#039;s very common, and no it wont hurt.. Be brave and remember that means you can stay home from school for a few days and just relax!
Reply:Okay, even if you do need teeth pulled to make space, you will be numbed or even asleep for the procedure, so there%26#039;s nothing to worry about.





Before you get all tore up about it, go to the orthodontist and see what they say, You may have plenty of room. You may have a narrow arch rather than overcrowding and that can be fixed with an appliance that will broaden your arch and make space for the %26quot;vampire%26quot; teeth (which are just coming in a little high and to the outside?).





You don%26#039;t have to wear retainers forever either. You will probably wear them 24/7 the first 6 months or so (except to eat and brush your teeth). Then nights only for 9-12 months. Then you (and your orthodontist) really have to determine how much you need to wear them after that.
Reply:i doubt they will have to pull your teeth out. i have braces and august last year they told me i would need 4 teeth out. and in the end i didn%26#039;t need to get any pulled out because my teeth moved how they planned. And if you do have to get teeth pulled don%26#039;t worry, they will tell you far in advanced when and if you do. You will not just walk in one day and they will say we are pulling teeth. you should be fine!


best of luck to you.
