Are these the permanent ones honey? I had braces and all i can say is if there not permanent get him to wear them all the while including nighttime and it will cut down the amount of time he will have to wear them for. If there the permanent ones he has to be careful when eating and brushing his teeth

They are permanent ones Diamond,18 months of permanent and then 2 more years of a retainer at night so its a big responsibilty for him to look after his teeth while they are on too

Its going to be really weird for him at first

Ill tell him not to take bras off with them though,he'll think that funny

Well tell him when they come of all the girls will be after him, seems like an age when there young but its quite cool for teenagers to wear braces these days unlike when i had them and looked like metal mickey

Our daughter has them, if you can get hold of the disclosing tablets that turn your teeth pink if they havent been cleaned properly they are a help to show him where he needs to clean better it helps for when they come off as the teeth can become stained.

Dont know if you have been told to get the little brushes for cleaning under them but you can get dental brushes (look like mini pipe cleaners with a handle) from most supermarkets.

Oh and good luck with getting him to cut down on chewing gum and toffee along with all the other banned substances

Thank you for that,had'nt been told about the mini brushes but we have them here anyway,and the tablets are a great idea

Did your daughter find them painful when they were first fitted?

Yeah the bottom ones went on first and she found those the most painful as they were the first lot fitted, there is some dental wax you can get to smear over the brace until the inside of the mouth toughens up as they can be prone to ulcers. I used to give her some paracetomol at night when they were really painful.

The top set went on a few months later but as she is prone to not cleaning her teeth properly (which is why we got the tablets) the bits that go on the individual teeth kept slipping off. She hasnt found the top set as painful until they tighten them and then only for a couple of days but found ice cream and yoghurt was what was called for at those times to cool the gums down a little.

You are very welcome x

Now I just have to sort the piercing out she had done today (belly button) she said she felt fine and promptly fainted in Morrisons after having it done, the only person I know who has belly pierced and ends up with ear ache after bashing her head as she fell
