Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which foods should you NOT eat with braces?

Answer: All of these

You shouldn't eat any of these foods while wearing braces because they can get stuck in your braces. Also, they can break the wires on your braces and...OUCH... that hurts!

2. When should you have an appointment with your orthodontist?

Answer: Every month

Your orthodontist needs to make sure your braces are working correctly. You need to go to the orthodontist once every month, so they can tighten and check your braces!

3. What should you put on your braces when they break or hurt?

Answer: Wax

The wax keeps the brackets/ wires from hurting the inside of your mouth. It keeps the pointy parts back, so they won't hurt you! If you don't have any wax, ask your orthodontist for some!

4. When you have braces, what should you do after every meal?

Answer: Brush your teeth.

You should brush your teeth after meals, so you don't get anything stuck in your braces. Don't eat the food stuck in your braces...that's gross! Also, don't pick at the wires and brackets of your braces, you could break them!

5. What is the purpose of braces?

Answer: To make your teeth straight.

Remember: braces are only there to help you, not to hurt you! Never think negatively at braces because in the end, you'll have straight and beautiful teeth!

6. When do most people get braces?

Answer: When most of their baby teeth have fallen out.

You want most your teeth to be grown-up teeth because baby teeth fall out, and if your baby teeth fall out when you have braces it will hurt. This is why some people have to get teeth pulled before they get braces.

7. When can braces hurt?

Answer: All of these!

It takes a while for you to get used to your new braces because you've never had them on your teeth. It also hurts when you get them tightened because you're not used to them being that tight. It hurts when the wires and brackets break because they can poke you in the gum!

8. What do some people get before braces?

Answer: Spacers

Sometimes people get spacers three days before you get braces. Most people do not get numbing when they get braces put on because it doesn't hurt when they put them on. Even though a massage would be nice you don't really get one!

9. What might your orthodontist give you after he/she puts on your braces?

Answer: All of these!

Your special tooth brush helps you brush around your braces. Your orthodontist might give you a booklet teaching you how to care for braces, so you know what to do in emergencies. Floss will probably be given to you because orthodontists encourage you to floss.

10. If your braces hurt you should see a dentist.

Answer: False

If your braces hurt you should see an orthodontist NOT a dentist. Orthodontists have the tools and specialize in teeth appliances. If you can't get to an orthodontist use your wax!
