Personal experience:

It took almost a month from the check-up to wearing braces. I began to feel uncomfortable with the "steel teeth" in my mouth, my teeth were sore, and the brackets would I scratched my mouth. During those days, my mouth became more protruding and I became uglier.

After wearing braces, except for eating hard things, I still eat various vegetables and rice normally, but I have to brush my teeth three times a day, otherwise the brackets will be full of food, which will be very uncomfortable (made Metal self-ligating bracket correction). I also lost a bracket once. I guess I accidentally dropped it when I was eating. I swallowed it in my stomach. I was so frightened that I quickly asked the doctor. The doctor said that it was fine and would be excreted. Therefore, during the correction period, do not eat bones or foods that are too hard, as this can easily cause the brackets to fall off.

After three or four months of wearing braces, my lower teeth began to become straighter, so I believed that they would become more and more beautiful in the future. With hope, I wore braces, even though they were not very beautiful. But I started to learn to laugh openly.

On average, we will return to the clinic once a month, and adjust the braces according to the situation. It is normal for the teeth to be sore during those days.

I have been wearing braces for just over a year now. My lower teeth are almost aligned and the gaps between the teeth that were extracted have been closed. During the last follow-up visit, the doctor began to adjust the gap between the upper teeth, and things gradually changed. It used to be that I couldn't close my mouth, but now I can close my mouth, and my teeth's bite feels much better than before.

Some suggestions:

If you feel that your teeth have indeed had some irreconcilable negative impact on you, go to orthodontics as soon as possible if you can. Correction is faster in teenagers. The effect is better and it won't have much impact on social interaction.

Before orthodontic treatment, you need to deal with tooth decay and tooth decay, have your teeth cleaned, and then wear braces.
