    i Braces & pregnancy

    I am thinking about getting braces & I am pregnant. I was hoping to get iBraces but is that a possibility while pregnant?

    Braces are definitely possible when a person is pregnant. There is some research that suggests the extra hormones present during pregnancy may help teeth to move, but I have no idea if this is a truth.

    Good luck!
    After 5 years, 11 months and two days of stainless steel brackets ... my teeth now have upper and lower bonded, gold wire, retainers and removable clear retainers!

    Before you get braces, the orthodontist will need to take xrays and that is not possible while pregnant.
    Good Luck with your pregnancy!

    how many weeks are your pregnant? Get your OB's advice first because there are some things that needs to be done before you are suited to have your braces on like anaesthesia, xray etc. Better be safe than sorry.
