Interproximal Brushes
I need braces info because I might get them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read the details below.?
What is a palette expander and what does it do?, What food are you not supposed to eat?, What does an interproximal brush do?, How are braces put on your teeth?, How do you floss with braces? and Do braces hurt?
Dont Worry everything will be fine, I have braces now and I had them before too, when I was 9. I also had a pallette expander before i had braces. What mine did it could come out and everything, but it stuck to the top of you mouth and what it does and expands the roof of your mouth so you can bite correctly. I had to take mine out when I ate. Foods with braces that your not supposed to have are: Popcorn (Hull-less is okay), Nuts and peanut brittle, ice, Hard candy & Candied apples (What i did with hard candy i just sucked on it forever), all hard chips and cookies, Raw fruits and vegetables (hard), Gum (even sugarless)(I still chew gum, don’t tell anybody!!!), Fruit roll-ups amd gummy bears, Taffy and caramels (still eat those too shhh!!), Starbursts, mike & ikes, and dots, Bit-O-Honeys, Skittles and airheads, milk duds amd sugar daddies. You don’t have to follow this completely, I know i don’t, but be VERY careful!!!
Treats you can have:
Potato Chips and corn puffs, M & M’s & Reese’s Pieces, KitKats & Junior mints, Nestle Crunch & Peppermint Patties, Mounds & Reese’s peanut butter cups, Hershey Kisses, 3 musketeers, Ice cream, sherbert, and frozen yogurt.
Orthodontic ‘No-no’s’:
Lip Biting, Pushing your tongue against your appliance or braces, chewing on fingers, pencils, or pens, tearing thing with your teeth, and biting your fingernails.
How Braces Are Put ON:
First of all they clean your teeth then the put cement on the bracets and put the bracets on each tooth. Then, the put the wire through and you’ve got braces.
Flossing with braces:
The orthodontist will give you a threader to do this:
You have to take the floss thread it through the wire and between the brackets and then floss…it takes forever! but don’t worry the doc will show you how.
Do Braces Hurt:
Yes, they do. But it only lasts for the first couple of days so don’t worry. I have them now (I’m 14) and I already had the before when i was 9. after the first couple of days you get used to them and you cant even feel them anymore. But the downfall, when you go to your checkup, and they tighten them….you’ll go through the same thing..they will hurt again for the first couple of days..so don’t worry I know alot of young kids that go through this.
Good Luck! I hope I could help You!
