How much would invisalign teen cost?
My teeth isn't really that bad, but I just want prefect teeth. My friends would say they couldn't tell that I have crooked teeth, but I do. My 2 front teeth are slightly crooked where you can probably tell in a picture when i smile. Also I have 4 really slightly crooked teeth.
Answer
The price depends on how many trays are required and how long the treatment plan will last. Make an appointment with an orthodontist for a consultation, and he/she will be able to give you a price. My orthodontist does not recommend Invisalign for teens, and I agree.

Invisalign Teen Parrearra: Does Medicare cover invisalign?
Does Medicare cover invisalign?
Blah well I'm looking into invisalign teen but my dilemma is that I don't know if Medicare covers it where I live. I want that over the braces because im self-conscious about my smile and want straight teeth without having a mouth full of wire and without having people noticing. My teeth aren't really bad just like 3 or 4 teeth so the braces wouldn't be covered all the way because I don't have enough points whatever that means. So would Medicare cover invisalign? I like in chicago if it matters. Thanks!
Answer
Medicare is a national program, so the rules are the same in every state. No, it does not cover Invisalign. If you mean Medicaid, that is different, but I'm sure it does not either.
And no dental insurance will cover braces just for cosmetic reasons, and that's why you want them. My orthodontist does not recommend Invisalign for teens at all, and I agree.

No they do not & sometimes they do not even cover regular braces dependant on the severity of the problem. [source: Yahoo! Answers]

Braces Mackay: When you first get braces are you suppose to be able to chew food?
When you first get braces are you suppose to be able to chew food?
I just got braces on a few days ago, but I am having trouble closing my teeth together completey. This means that I can't chew any food either. Is this suppose to happen? Has anyone else had this problem. All I want to do is rip these braces off my teeth they are really annoying and uncomfortable and I can't talk properly.
Answer
I had the same problem when I first got mine but it does get much better and easier to handle. it sounds weird now to you but when you get them off, you will want them back on cuz your teeth will feel soooo loose and like they are moving all over the place. You will want the sturdiness of the braces. Trust me, it does get much easier.

I had the same problem. If its painfull have some panadol. The lisp will go within a week. Practise speaking 's' words. Eating mushed up food and drinking heaps for 3 or 4 days will make it better.
I had this problem when I first got my braces. All i could eat for a week was soup and jello. In about a week thw swelling will go down and you will talk normaly, and be able to eat! If they're uncomfortable, get a lot of wax, that's what i used! good luck! [source: Yahoo! Answers]

Braces Robina: How Do you Get Your Braces to Stop Hurting?
Braces Robina: How do you get your braces to stop hurting?
I just got my braces on, and they hurt badly. I have taken medicine and eaten ice cream, but is there anything else that I can do? Do Braces Hurt?
Answer
Hi there! Okay, there is a bunch of things you can do. Try getting a water bottle with ice water, and just putting the water in your mouth, like you are going to use a mouth rinse, but don't spit it out. The wires in your braces loosen with the cold.
Also, try going to your local CVS/Walgreens, and buying some canker sore medicine, and putting it all over your mouth. You should take some ibuprofen to help with the swelling, and take naps, they help a lot.
I don't recommend you eat solid food for 3/4 days after getting your braces on, it hurts like heck! The pain will be over in a few days, and remember, it's worth it in the end!

When I got my braces on, my mouth hurt like crazy for a while (many weeks). After a while, though, they stopped hurting and I was totally used to them. Take Tylenol and don't eat anything hard or chewy for a while. Your teeth move the most the first few weeks you have braces, and your mouth needs to get used to them, so they will hurt for a while, but it will get better.
Related Answer
Just wait it out, keep taking your medicine and enjoy all the ice cream and spoiling from your parents you can get. It'll stop after a while, took me a couple days before I could eat solid foods and about a week before the pain was pretty much gone. I took a lot of naps when I got my braces on, just to kind of "skip" time periods where you'd be in pain. Don't worry, the pain will stop, just give it a day or 2 and you'll be feeling much better. Trust me, just enjoy the spoiling while you can.

Okay, i just got braces literally an hour ago so they just explained everything to me... the orthodontist should have given you this plastic thing to bite down on.. and if you don't have that try some Advil or Tylenol. and if its your gums that hurt or r sore then try Orajel or stick wax on the braces that r scratching up against it.

They will hurt for a couple of days. It gets better and easier. You will get use to them super fast. Here is a tip. Keep in mind that the pain you are feeling, is good pain, it means that beautiful teeth are coming your way! [source: Yahoo! Answers]

Braces Geebung: How will braces make my baby teeth come out?
How will braces make my baby teeth come out?
I recently went to the orthodontist and he recommended I get braces to help my baby teeth come out. He said my adult teeth aren't pushing my baby ones out because they are coming in at an angle. What I want to know is, how are the braces going to help my baby teeth come out, and will this hurt me? Thanks.
Answer
If it were me or my kids, I would learn how to use a water pik with an antibacterial solution like Xylitol. When I was 14 my teeth were in very bad condition, already had several cavities in my adult teeth and my wisdom teeth were coming in mangled and partially mineralized. I learned from Dr. Robert Onara that if I used a water pik with an antibacterial solution that my cavities would heal. Not only did my cavities heal, but my wisdom teeth came in and straightened out and remineralized. The troubles we have with cavities and gum disease and even crooked teeth are due to bacterial colonies. When we flush them out our mouths become balanced and strengthened.
Relaed Answer
Yes they will help, the braces are going to be pulling and pushing at your teeth..causing them to become loose. [source: Yahoo! Answers]

Braces Warwick: What are the chances of having teeth pulled out when getting braces?
What are the chances of having teeth pulled out when getting braces?
I've heard that a lot of people getting braces don't have enough space in their mouth to straighten their teeth, so a tooth or two may be pulled out before getting braces. But I've also heard that if you have adult teeth, nothing will grow back in its place. I may be getting braces next week, and what really scares me is if I'll have some teeth pulled out. What are the chances? And if I have a low pain tolerance, would you recommend me taking some kind of pain killer or let the dentist handle it?
Answer
Hi there :)
I got my braces on in my late 20s, but i didn't get any teeth pulled. although the first ortho i went to told me i would have to have 2 teeth pulled out, the second one i went to said nothing about it. my main problem, aside from overbite, was crowding on top but still, he found enough spaces for all my teeth to fit there and i still have all my wisdom teeth too. also you're saying that you might be getting braces next week... does that mean you already went for a consult to your ortho office? if so, then they should have been able to tell you whether they will be removing any teeth. usually you go for a consult first and that's when they look and tell you what the course of treatment will be.
In any case, good luck and yes, braces are worth it. (Had braces for over 2 yrs, got them off recently.)
Related Answer
Don't worry about it. More likely than not, it will be a quick procedure, with no form of tooth pulling required. and the dentist will put you under, so dont worry about that either. just get ready to have nice, straight teeth.

I had four adult teeth pulled when I got my braces. The teeth don't grow back, but it's fine because when your remaining teeth get straight their will be no spaces so you won't be able to telll you had teeth pulled. Getting the teeth out, for me, only hurt when they pulled. Nothing else hurt. I didn't need to take any pain killers at all.
Related Answer
Probably 50/50. Lucky me I have just enough room for my wisdom teeth to grow in! My friend Vanessa has to have more than 5 I think.
Related Answer
50% chance.
What matters is if theres enough space for them to actually get straightened.
If they're literally jumbled up in you're mouth like a rolled up piece up paper, then you could get them pulled to make room for other teeth.
However, when I first got braces, I did not need to have any teeth removed.
Hopefully you won't either. [source: Yahoo! Answers]

I'm going to get braces in 2 weeks. I then have a band camp to attend 2 weeks after I get my braces. I play the alto saxophone. Is there any way I can be able to play my saxophone before I go to camp without inflicting pain?

Take Ibuprofen before your appointment. Your teeth will still hurt though, but the pain usually goes away in a week. [source: Yahoo! Answers]
