Those damn baby blues!
At least it's only 6 weeks and not 6 months!
If youre a guy, and worried that you won't be able to talk to girls for a month and half, then carry around some watermelon... Bitches love watermelon.
58. Yes I did. The you was in a second person context. I wasn't calling OP a guy, I was saying that if you ( second person ) are a guy, and this happens to you, that you should bring watermelon.
Yea I don't think it's the baby blue bands that make your teeth look yellow, I believe that would just be your teeth.... Try a tooth brush, its a lot cheaper than going back to the orthodontist to order a different color.
70: that's not true at all. you've obviously never had braces. I, on the other hand, have. and yes, they do make your teeth look yellow. I always thought my teeth really were yellow until the orthodontist told me otherwise. just think of the end results! you'll have perfectly white teeth!! :D
That's why I always get dark colors!! Normally purple. One time I got yellow, and my teeth looked disgusting!! But OP you learned something!!
Black makes your teeth look great!
I always asked for gray after my incident. gray usually makes your teeth look better :)
Oh, but I have baby blue bands right now and I thought they looked pretty snazzy...
Can't you just go back and ask for a different colour? But then I suppose if you could this wouldn't be an FML. Try and buy new ones that compliment the wonderful hue of your teeth! Good luck OP.
... That I would not recommend putting in your mouth.
I'm fairly sure they said that the bands make their teeth look yellow… don't think brushing's gonna help if the bands are the problem to begin with
So go buy some bands and change them. If you change them when your bands pop, you should be able to change the color anytime you want.
There are two different types of bands for braces. There are the rubber bands that help realign teeth, usually on the side and easy to replace, and there are bands that hold the main wire to the brackets on the teeth. These rubber bands are the colorful ones and must be replaced by an expert. I am not an orthodontist, but I had braces myself.
the best solution would be intense whitening toothpaste :) And the good news is that it's only for 1 and a half month, it's better to suffer a little shame instead of having deformed teeths or so from not taking care of it in any way. **** your life though, it must be pretty embarrasing to feel having yellow teeths, and maybe you are actually just overreacting, people can have a tendency to do that when concerning themselves. But it will be sorted out later anyway, so be happy when you are done with it, take care :)
I completely agree Keevarou. I know from experience that being self-concious can make one overreact in certain situations--this being a prime example. Keep your chin up OP! You'll get used to it, and better times are ahead.
The_Hitdude!!!! You're back :D Back on topic. It's only a month and a half, you'll make it OP. Just think of the beautiful teeth you'll have after you get your braces off.
Welcome back Hitdude!:)
Thanks guys! It's good to be back. Can't say I'll be commenting nonstop, but you'll definitely be seeing more of me. Back to the FML!
Yeah when i had braces, i choose baby bleu one time and it made my teeth look mad yellow even though there really white. Fyl op:) but its only a month and a half so dont worry
But that's not a natural smile, that's hiding it.
Pffft. I'd rather have braces than glasses. Braces are sexy and colorful. Until you get them caught in someone else's braces. Or foreskin, many FMLs ago.
44- obviously you have never had braces. Every month and a half you need to get them tightened and you can only eat soft foods for a couple days after that. Not to mention how they scrape up the insides of your mouth.. I still have scars in my mouth and I got my braces off 7 years ago. I would have much rather just needed glasses than braces.
No, I've never had braces, but due go my life circumstances, it would be more convenient. My glasses are alway being broken. Plus, braces are sexy. At least on the people that I've seen. And yes, I'm crazy c: Nice to know you care about my mental health *hugs*
THANK YOU.
wow, wtf. I just got braces put in today, and I legit chose the blue colour, too... oh god. =|
Get yellow bands.
Unless Op's teeth are really yellow and makes the yellow bands look white!
I am sure dude1122332 was being sarcastic
Don't worry, they'll turn green after a while. Blue + yellow = green
you have an answer for everything.
A month and a half really isn't that long. And I'm sure they can't look THAT yellow unless you already smoke two packs a day, or something. Seriously, just forget about it. I doubt everyone's gonna be pointing and laughing at you, saying "HAHA YOUR TEETH ARE YELLOW!!!"...... No.
Teeth are naturally yellowish. You know all those people in magazines and in films with sparkly white teeth? VENEERS AND PHOTOSHOP.
