You probably want to know if braces will interfere with your lifestyle. Absolutely not! You can do anything with braces….sing, play a musical instrument, play all sports, or have your picture taken. There are a few inconveniences, but you will adjust quickly. Certain hard or crunchy foods must be eaten differently or avoided, and your teeth may be slightly tender for a day or two after adjustments. You will also have to plan more time for daily home care. In general, our patients get along well day to day!
