Question : Will the military provide active duty members with orthodontic braces?
If so, do soldiers have options as to what type of braces they want? For instance, if a soldier wanted clear braces, can he get those?

For the first part of your question, I believe the military will provide braces. Now if there is a choice as to the type you get I don’t know that.

How long did they feel you were going to be in braces?
It is more then just closing the gap they have to make sure your bite grows together as well as it can and you have wonderful alignment.
Most braces are 12-36 months. Just call and ask them.
You are paying a nice price for them they should be there for your every question!!

Question : Is there a device similar to orthodontic braces one can make at home to straighten teeth by tightening ?
I used to wear braces, but accidentally threw out the retainers soon after I had them removed. My teeth have gone crooked again and I can’t afford braces (as well as a lot of other dental work I need to the point I NEVER smile with an open mouth). Is there something I can do like tighten a wire around my teeth every night that could kind of at least make a difference and straighten my teeth a little?

Answer by Dr H
ABSOLUTELY NOT. There is a reason that orthodontic school is 3-4 years AFTER 4 years of dental school!
Think of pushing a gigantic statue, something like 200 pounds and 6 feet tall. If you push the head of the statue, it will tip over. Most people will bend down and push the base which also may tip the statue. The correct movement will be somewhere towards the middle.
This is just like teeth. The pressure needs to be placed towards the center of the tooth to PREVENT tipping, unless that is the wanted movement. The goal of orthodontics is either to tip teeth or make a bodily movement. The place of the bracket determines this. Is it towards the edge? then it’s probably a tipping movement. If it’s towards the center, then it’s probably a bodily movement.
The center of the tooth is NOT the center of the crown. Remember there is the root of the tooth! Each tooth is different. Some teeth have long roots and some have short roots.
Also moving teeth requires moving BONE! Teeth are not in space or air in your mouth. They are anchored in your bone. Moving teeth too rapidly causes RESORPTION Of the bone and you may actually end up losing your tooth. I’ve actually seen this on a grand scale.
Also remember your science class? For every motion, there is an equal and opposite motion. If you move your tooth in one direction, there is going to be an equal and opposite force on another tooth. And so on. You may have one tooth out of place and after your self treatment you may have two or three out of place.
seriously, unless you understand this all completely, then i wouldn’t try it. let the professionals use their 8 years of dental school and skills to give you the smile you deserve.

Question : What do you think about adults that have orthodontic braces?
I am in my mid 20′s and I have braces!
I had them when I was 12 and now over a decade later I had to get them again.
Lucky for me though, I only have to wear them for 18 months.
It is so embarassing though, people have asked me if I am 16 and said I am too young to be married.

Question : I have a very important question about orthodontic braces!?
How much do orthodontic braces cost and will health insurance contribute to the paying for the braces?
orthodontic braces
Best answer:
Answer by Steven B
Orthodontic treatment can range from a couple of thousand dollars up to maybe $ 8-$ 10 thousand. This depends on just what kind of orthodontic problem you have, whether you’re being treated by a general dentist or orthodontist, where you live, and choice of treatment method.
Orthodontic treatment will almost never be covered by medical insurance. The possible remote exception (and I do mean remote) is if your orthodontic problem is related to some kind of accident. Depending on the insurance laws in your state, orthodontic treatment necessitated by a motor vehicle accident might be covered. But in general, with medical insurance you’re out of luck.

I have braces right now and brackets are what holds the wire in place so without brackets you could not have braces. You cant just get one or the other because its called braces but you have to get brackets and it is pricy and no you cant get one or the other.
