my tooth is killin me rite now sum one help. wut can i do
Answer:
Take ibuprofen or naproxen and then call your dentist and get it checked out.
Take 3 Motrin and go see a dentist.
See a dentist, take a pain killer or if you are feeling brave pull it out...only joking.
use tincture of clove oil
brush your teeth hard
clove oil
cocaine (illegal but does numb it)
Put some anbesole on your teeth and gums and make an appoinment with the dentist.
Have someone kick you in your shin really hard. You will forget all about your tooth. Then, to make the pain go away forever, delete your account. It will make my pain go away forever too.
I have been taking nothing more than Naproxen Sodium (look for it at walmart next to advil) for my toothaches. It works well and doesnt make me sick like the hydrocodone prescribed to me

How do u floss your teeth with braces on?
i mean, the wires are all on and the floss cant pass through those wires like how one can withput braces on. then how do you clean the spaces between each teeth?
Answer:
Use a floss threader. It's a flexible plastic loop. Looks like a tiny noose, lol. You put your floss in the loop, stick the straight side through your wire and pull through. It'll pull the floss through for easier flossing. They sell it at any drugstore or your Ortho may have them. In the beginning, it might take a little longer but after a while, it gets easy. A Waterpik is another option. But my Ortho said it shouldnt' replace manual flossing. I use to use it after meals but floss once per day. Good luck!
use disposable teeth flossers
You stick the floss under the bracket, and pull is through the space between your teeth to floss.
It takes a little bit of time, but flossing is an absolute must - especially when you have braces. This is because you have a higher risk for your gums becoming inflammed (food trap, teeth shifting, etc.) and also a higher risk for cavities (difficulty cleaning around braces).
Go to your nearest CVS or Walgreens and purchase for "floss threaders." Or you can order the "FlossFish Flossing Tool" on their website:http://www.dentakit.com/flfltoforbr.html...There is an instructional video as well!
Ask for those special brushes with spikes on the end
they work
Try using a Waterpik Flosser the little plastic tip goes between the teeth under the brackets and wires - cost about $10. The Oral B Hummingbird with the Stimudent type tip would also work but is somewhat thicker than the Flosser tips.
there are these little things you can buy them in the dental aisle in your local grocery store or whatever and there is a whole you stick the floss through there then in between the wires pull till you get the floss push down and repeat.
You can do it. But you have to go out and buy special floss that has a stiff end. Precut strips of floss that have 1 end a little stiff and you are then able to pull it through around the braces. I suggest Glide brand threaded floss.

How do they tighten braces?
I just got my braces on friday and my mouth is sore. When they wire your mouth up and put the rubber bands on, are they tightening your braces or are they just wires on? The orthodontist was pushing on my teeth and wiring them one at a time so is it tightening? Also if not, how do they tightened braces? thanks
Answer:
They do put on smaller and different kinds of wires to help the teeth move into the places they should be. The wires are different lengths and different shapes. Your orthodontist was attaching the one wire to your individual brackets one at a time. If you look closely, you have tiny rubber bands on each bracket holding the wire on. Don't worry, the pain will go away and it will get better. I've had braces twice myself.
braces are tightened by the orthodontist, after your teeth settle from rubber bands pulling them in the direction the need to go. he will put wire in at every visit that is smaller or bent in direction your teeth need to be. take advil it will help, also light clenching will make it more bearable.
Differs per person, per appointment. My first 'tightening' was simply a change of elastic ligatures and a powerchain. The same wire was used. You may feel pushing, but it isn't, it's just changing the elastic ligatures that go round the bracket.

How do they put on the fixed braces?
I got my x-rays and everything done today and i was told i would b getting my braces in about 1 months time. How do them place them on ? Like do they clip on or need to be glued

They are glued on, the glue is then set with a light. This is done for each individual bracket.http://www.braceface.com/gettingbraces.h...That site will explain it best.

How do they put on and take off braces?
Answer:
well i dont really know cause i couldnt see what they was doing to me but from what i gathered they used some cement like stuff and bonded the brackets to each of my teeth.then they put this like metal ring around your back teeth to hold the wire, then they just insert the wire into the brackets with the elastic things over the top to hold it in place. and when they take them out they just remove the wire and kinda clip them off by twisting. i think they heat the cement stuff first tho im not too sure but this is what i think they did to me lool
Some dentist use different ways. When you get your next check up, ask.
they put them on with glue and then to take them off, they take out the wire and pull off the brackets
They use a chemical cement to bond them. It's applied to each tooth, and a light is held over it for 20 seconds per tooth. Then they stick on little metal things to hold the wire and elastics. It takes a while, they also have to put on little metal tubes on your molars. As for having them taken off, I don't know.
http://www.braceface.com/gettingbraces.h...http://www.braceface.com/bracesoff.htm...Those two web pages should explain it well to you. The process of getting them on is painless.
How do orthodontists take braces off?
My sister got braces not long ago and is not coping with them and has them taken off in about 6 weeks. She is wondering how they are removed from her mouth?
Answer:
well first they take the wire ou like they do when they tighten them, then the snap the brackets of with a plier looking thing(the metal thats on the teeth as well as the metal that goes around the teeth), they then scrape he glue off, after which theyll polish her teeth, and make a mold to make a retainer , it doesnt hurt its just slightly uncomfortable
They pull it off with plyers.

How do orthodontists put in spacers?
im getting my brackets and spacers on tuesday and i wanted to know how the orthodontist put them in
Answer:
There is an instrument that looks kind of like a fork. You put the spacer around the end and stretch it out. Then you just kind of work it inbetween the teeth like floss. It's super easy! It feels weird and it may make you sore because it will start moving your teeth right away but you can just take tylenol for that. I do it almost everyday!
Don't worry!
they just use floss an d work them in you may feel pressure on your teeth for a day or two. No they dont bother your gums either
The spacers are needed to make room for the braces on your back teeth. The back bands are 'anchors' to stabilize your entire mouth, so they are bands around the whole tooth instead of brackets glued on the fronts/outsides. If your back teeth are tight, the spaces make just enough room for the bands to be placed around those anchor teeth.The spacers are like very small rubber bands. When you stretch out a rubber band, it gets thinner, right?The dentist uses the 'fork' device an earlier poster described, to stretch the band thinner. He/She then squishes it between your teeth like dental floss. When the tool is removed, the band goes back to it's original thick shape, and encourages the teeth to move apart a tiny bit.It will feel like you have food stuck in between your teeth, and you will feel some pressure as the teeth move a tiny bit over a few days/weeks. Tylenol and advil are good advice.
