False. In fact, in most cases, you\u2019ll barely even notice your braces while they are on. Many patients say that their experience with braces was easier than expected and surprisingly painless, especially when compared to their experiences with dentures or other invasive dental procedures. Today\u2019s modern materials make it possible for your orthodontist to help straighten your teeth in an incredibly comfortable way. They may not be entirely pain-free, but chances are you won\u2019t have much of a problem at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The truth is that, once your braces are placed, you\u2019ll be expected to continue a healthy diet. Your dentist will likely give you a list of foods that are OK for you to eat and those that should be avoided. If your teeth are extremely malformed, it\u2019s possible that certain foods might require special treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s no doubt braces have a stigma to them\u2014but they really don\u2019t have to. Many orthodontists will offer clear or tooth-colored braces to match your natural teeth so you can maintain your smile while straightening your teeth. Still, if you do choose metal brackets over clear ones, there are many options for making them less noticeable. For example, many orthodontists use ceramic brackets rather than traditional steel brackets because they\u2019re not as reflective and make your smile look more natural. And if you really want to go all out? Orthodontists now offer invisible aligners (aka Invisalign) that help straighten teeth without any unwanted metals or wires showing in your mouth at all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
