Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

My teeth werent perfect in the first place, but I have noticed that they are getting less and less white. I really want pretty teeth when they come off because I used to be the kid with huge buck teeth so is there anything I can do (besides electric toothbrush and whitening toothpaste) to whiten them. The crest whitestrips say not to use them with braces so I need something else.

I am getting my mouth fitted for braces in a few days, and i dont know how long it takes to get them on after you get fitted. i want them as soon as possible so i can just get it over with. do you think i could get them the same day?

I got braces a few months ago. I went to the dentists for the first time in 6 months today and he said that drinking gatorade and powerade and other drinks like that is bad but he didn’t really specify all the different kinds or anything. So I was wondering if things like juice, coffee, lemonade, etc… are okay to drink.

I got my braces on and the little rubber tie is slightly coming off in one corner but the rest of it is still hooked on.
is it bad?
Can i just hook it back myself?

My family is in a struggle now with my mom on chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is $20,000 and right now we can’t afford braces but I need them now. Is there any program or something that can help me and my family pay off for my braces or close? I know you can’t get money off trees and people but were a family in need and I was just wondering? Any advice/tips? Our insurance doesn’t cover orthodontic stuff. Thanks!

A lot of my friends said when they got braces, it didn’t hurt that much, but I just got ‘em yesterday, and the damn things hurt like hell for some reason, anything I can do to make it go away?
Thanks.

I just got my braces tightened and they hurt so bad that its geting to the point where its hard to eat!!! Any household remedies or medicine to stop this?

I had braces when I was a teen and the gap between my teeth came back…I want to fix it but I don’t want to have braces again or have to wear a retainer forever. I have no health insurance and would be paying for this out of pocket.

I am waiting to get my braces off, and all I am waiting for is a little gab between two teeth to fill, I would say its about 1/8 of an inch. I’ve had a chain on for four weeks, but I really have seen no movement. Is this normal?
