♥ asks: BRACES BEHIND YOUR TEETH?

“Okay so my teeth have a lot of problems, i used to have an under bite but now two of my teeth in the front are going back into an under bite, and my jaw is shifting slowly one way because of it. another problem is that i act, and i got a callback from an agency, and im not sure if they would want me because im getting braces (i didn't ask them or tell them that im going to get braces yet). i asked my orthodontist today if i could get invisalign but he said my teeth has a bigger issue so invisalign wont work. he suggested clear braces, but apparently they stain. But i forgot to ask him about braces behind your teeth, ive heard that it works really well with people who have major problems with their teeth and needs to straighten them out. but ive also heard it hurts, and it could affect your speech? is this true? but anyway i found the site: http://www.lingualcare.com/ their called iBraces. I just want to know if this is good, and if i should get them, If anyone has had this , or if anyone could help me or give me advice i will truly appreciate it! Thank you!”




Braces behind the teeth SOUND like a great idea but yes, they affect your speech, yes, they hurt (braces will hurt no matter what) AND they will cut your tongue and leave it sore... and your orthodontist might not recommend it...

I personally cannot imagine the world of hurt I experienced on my cheeks and lips during my braces experience inflicted on my tongue. Afterall, when my teeth hurt so much I couldn't chew, my tongue was doing the "mashing" for me.

Talk to your orthodontist about it. I've seen a few fashion models, if that's the kind of agency you're talking about with braces so I wouldn't worry too much.
