They Scratch Enamel and “Ring” at the Airport: 6 Brace Myths It’s Time to Stop Believing

Dreaming of the perfect smile, but still refusing to have braces installed because of the terrible, and sometimes just weird, things you’ve heard about? Probably, you have just fallen victim to popular myths about intimidating designs for straightening teeth at first sight. We are now going to convince you to finally turn to an orthodontist.

Absurdity! Straightening your teeth in your 30s and older is completely normal. Yes, it may take longer to correct them in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, but that’s no reason to give up on the smile of your dreams.

In fact, an unpleasant feeling occurs only in the first days after the installation of the structure. Then you get used to the “pieces of iron” in your mouth and certainly do not suffer from pain.

Another common horror story about braces that it’s time to disprove. Indeed, the sensors do not work on the straightening structure of the teeth, because it contains too little metal.

What the most harmful hairstyle that hurts hair looks like: we all do it!

Discomfort can occur only in the first days after installation or when using too harsh products. However, if you follow the rules for wearing braces, no problems will arise.

Sometimes this is really necessary so that the end result does not disappoint you. However, this is not a golden rule: the doctor decides whether or not to remove the teeth in each specific situation.

This is another common myth that we will now be happy to debunk. During the process of attaching the braces, no damage is caused to the enamel.
