Weight Loss And Braces Posted: 07-25-05 17:30pm
This is an orthodontia question. I'm
27-28 on saturday-and I just got braces
back in april, plus in the weeks leading
up to getting them I had 3 teeth pulled.
So my question is how much weight did you
lose when you got braces? I'm worried
'cuz i've lost like 15 pounds and I don't
know if it's because of my braces or
something else.
Plus, do they rub away at the insides of
the mouth? Every morning I wake up with
skin sticking to them.
I didn't loose an insaine ammount of
weight but I lost a few pounds because I
had 4 teeth pulled, and one of them got
infected, so it delayed the ammount of
time I could go back to solid foods. But
I didn't loose weight because of my
braces, it was the teeth being pulled.
Braces don't stop you from eating anything
you normally would without them. In some
cases you may have to but something (like
a carrot or celery) because it could snap
a bracet or bend a wire.
