anyone here ever had orthodontics treatment?  what was your experience,  and what could have made your experience better?
Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!

Never had it myself but I have a few friends that have. You'll have a really hard time chewing hard stuff the days after you get it and every time you tighten them. So try to find "soft" food to eat, not gonna be a lot of chewing or anything that you gotta bite hard on. Guess that's about it.

maybe should have stated that earlier then, hehe. Maybe not talk to them about anything not related to their teeth.

Had it great experience. Absolutely worth the few thousand dollars it cost. Had it done in elementary school and it wasn't much of a disturbance. Broke them several times eating things I shouldn't have mind you. Slight inconvenience.

Only complaint I had was that I was told I was "only going to have braces for 2 - 2.5 years" and 3.5 - 4 years later I only had them removed because I needed to get an MRI done after I hit my head... if it wasn't for that, I may still have them to this very day. The kicker is that my teeth were actually fairly good at the start, my teeth barely needed any corrections done. I had friends with way worse teeth that got braces put on and taken off within 2 years and had perfectly fine teeth afterwards. I think my orthodontist was just torturing me. QQ

You should wear night-time only braces, nerd.

Assuming you're talking about the clear plastic braces that go over your teeth (i.e. invisalign), then yes they increase the risk of cavities. During the night they obviously cover your teeth, which is ~7-9 hours (or more if you're a degen) where your teeth aren't going to be in contact with your saliva, basically emulating the effects of drymouth. Saliva washes away food and plaque and helps to keep your teeth a little bit cleaner. Not to mention plaque would undoubtedly get stuck in the hard-to-reach places of the retainer, and plaque being pressed against your teeth in a dry environment every single night = cavities.


Keep trying to be an e-expert of everything Xant, it's fairly amusing.

Congrats, you can dig up totally un-biased articles on the internet that would never dare try and sell their opinion as fact. I'll stick to the recommendations of plenty of dentists I know irl, who even profit from the sales of such braces.
