No braces :(

Okay so I have on braces but no work being done because my parents done have money to pay for them so I was wondering if I put pressure on my teeth with my hands like push them or something could that fix my teeth because the only thing that need to be done is that 2 teeth need to come you so what should I do??

Answer #1

that could damage the roots of your teeth . I would buy a retainer, they’re cheaper, and over time your teeth mold to it, but you have to keep wearing it.

Answer #2

I know a person that had only 2 teeth that needed to move so they used a Popsicle stick and pushed every day and it worked. BUT… since you don’t have retainers, they’ll eventually move back to where they were because that’s what happened to her. Same with me, I had braces for years and my teeth looked great. I forgot to bring my retainers on vacation which was only 7 days long and when I got back, I couldn’t get them on anymore. You just have to be careful. Don’t push too hard if you want to try it, but more than likely you won’t have lasting results. Sorry. :-(

Answer #3

Sorry to hear of your situation. When I was young my parents didn’t have much money and I begged them to take me to the orthodontist for braces. He told me to go home and for 20 mins. a day I had to apply pressure to my buck teeth with my index finger (horizontally across my front teeth) and to come back to him if it didn’t work. Well, it didn’t work. Can you do some small jobs around the neighborhood for some extra money? If the ortho knows that you’re willing to work for your own braces s/he might be so impressed and not make you pay the full amount?? It’s worth a try. Good luck.
