Who doesn’t dream of a Hollywood smile, especially for teenagers and young girls. But for many, the dream remains a dream, and the reason for this is the fear that the device installed in the mouth will ruin the quality of life for a long time, for example, by taking away the opportunity to kiss.
It may take several years to correct a bite. Therefore, for young people, the burning question is: is it possible to kiss if you have braces installed in your mouth? Do they really interfere with this? Will they ruin their personal life because of this? Below are answers to many questions about orthodontic appliances on teeth and kisses.
Where is the truth, where is the myth?
Experts in this branch of dentistry, arguing over years of successful practice, convince young patients that modern braces do not spoil their personal lives at all and do not interfere with kissing. Contrary to the popular stereotype:
- Designs fixed to the teeth do not change the sensitivity of the lips and tongue
- The partner and his own teeth in the mouth, as well as the mucous membrane, cannot be injured during the kiss, because the braces fit tightly to the surface of the teeth
- There is no risk, even with a passionate kiss, of breaking or moving the structure
Many people are afraid that their braces will get too stuck together if both of them are wearing them in a pair. But this is only possible in comedies, for the amusement of the public, for a strong visual effect. To this, orthodontists respond that teeth are not involved in a kiss, which means they cannot interfere. And the structural elements have a rounded shape for safety; they simply have nothing to catch on each other.
If a couple of lovers simultaneously decided to correct their bite and acquire dazzling smiles, then together, supporting each other, it will be morally much easier to do this than alone.
Modern braces look like jewelry. or almost invisible at all
They come in sapphire, gold, transparent, and those that are installed on the back of the teeth. Therefore, you shouldn’t refuse them for fear of not getting a kiss.
Bottom line
There are no contradictions between braces and kisses, this is confirmed by numerous reviews. The main thing is to follow medical recommendations in this delicate matter, approach it with concern for your partner, and be creative.

Psychology
Typically, an inferiority complex due to the installation of braces develops in adolescents. But even adults are often embarrassed to kiss when they are in the mouth. Doctors believe that the cause is not the design features in the mouth, but invented fears, fear of rejection by a partner. After all, the mirror reflects pieces of wire on the teeth that spoil the appearance, which cannot be hidden, they are in the most visible place.
Even smiling properly is a shame, and the fear of losing attractiveness overshadows all reason. The fear of losing a partner, worsening his attitude towards himself, or losing sexuality makes behavior insecure.
But if, because one person is wearing braces, the other half loses interest or changes their good attitude, then can the tender feelings of such a person be considered real? Is this connection worth holding on to? Obviously it's not worth it.
During the first 14-15 days after the structure is attached to the teeth, there is a feeling of a foreign body in the mouth. It is during this period that most lovers begin to fear that braces will worsen the kiss or make it impossible. But doctors are encouraging that everything is done in such a way as not to in any way affect the patient’s quality of life.
However, teenagers often depend on the opinions of their surroundings and company, so they are embarrassed by having braces in their mouths, fearing ridicule from their peers, and avoid kissing for the same reason. Although the juvenile critics themselves have no idea about the features of orthodontic structures. Adults take this easier, and they receive much less ridicule.
Taking care of braces – 10 minutes instead of three
We all know that you need to brush your teeth for 3 minutes 2 times a day. But sometimes even this is difficult for us to realize. I want to finish the procedure quickly and run about my business. But if you have braces installed , you should forget about breaking the rules. Now you have much more risk. Food debris gets clogged not only between the teeth, but also under the braces. Tightly clamped with metal, they have no way to get out of there, except to be cleaned with dental floss, brushes and brushes. In addition, it is very important to clean the braces system itself, because plaque causes it to lose its appearance and deprive your smile of all grace.
Recommendations
In order to overcome all the complexes that have appeared, you need to believe for yourself that wearing braces does not affect your appearance, but helps your smile become much more beautiful over time. Therefore, you shouldn’t change your lifestyle because of them, you need to be patient a little.
It must be remembered that the purpose of wearing braces is a beautiful smile, and braces themselves, although a long-term phenomenon, are temporary
Not everyone can do this; many still lose a lot of self-confidence during the period of wearing such structures on their teeth.
But there are some useful tips for this period:
- Any, even the most comfortable, well-fitted orthodontic structure in the mouth at first still interferes and feels like a foreign body;
- During the adaptation period, the patient simply gets used to it, learns to eat, take care of the oral cavity, and speak normally with the construction on the teeth;
- During the adaptation period, it is really worth refraining from kissing, so as not to spoil the pleasure, first of all, for the owner of braces due to the pain that occurs;
- The second partner must understand the problems of his partner and be patient.
No one forbids kissing with a bite correction system installed, even from the very first day, if it does not cause pain or discomfort. But most often you have to postpone such pleasant moments until you completely get used to braces.
What other sexual injuries were indicated by emergency doctors during the survey:
- Oddly enough, this is a burn of the genitals from the remains of spicy food that one of the partners consumed before sex.
- The second group of reasons for calling an ambulance, which surprised doctors, was various foreign objects in the anus, for example, a potato tuber (???).
- A surprising fact that doctors had to deal with was severe irritation of the vagina from fizzy candies used by spouses during sexual intercourse for the sake of experiment.
- Well, it’s often quoted by men in various stories about sex assaults: a fractured penis in various unusual circumstances. For example, one man told doctors that he received this injury by crashing into a pole. Yeah, just in a minute they believed it))
- A classic of the genre is a wedding ring stuck on the penis. Doctors shared the story of a 60-year-old man who suffered from erectile dysfunction. He found advice about the ring on the Internet and decided to try to cure himself this way. As a result, doctors had to saw the metal. “When we tried to remove the ring with a tool, it glowed bright orange. It looked just like in “The Lord of the Rings,” said the doctor who saw the victim.
First kisses
After a period of adjustment, a gentle kiss can turn into a passionate one.
You should start with kisses that involve only your lips. This will save the couple from incidents and unpleasant impressions and rejection. A person with braces needs to get used to the situation, understand how to kiss, as if learning all over again. Therefore, at first, passion should be replaced with tenderness and not rush.
Especially important! From the very beginning, do not increase the pressure with your lips too much, so as not to cause unpleasant moments due to the feeling of the metal of the braces.
In such slow, very gentle movements of the lips, you both will find new, never experienced pleasure. After all, love usually makes you hurry.
Guys' opinions about girls' braces
Girls are especially worried about installing such structures. They think about how to wear them, how they will look to the opposite sex, how to kiss with braces. Girls should know that men, as a rule, have a positive attitude towards the fact that a woman takes care of herself and does everything possible to decorate her appearance or adjust it for the desired result. Therefore, braces are not a problem for them. In addition, men do not think that braces interfere with kissing. They have a completely opposite opinion. This design does not frighten them at all.
In addition, there is such a nuance: if braces are installed on the upper jaw, then the lips are raised, so visually they appear larger. This is very exciting for the opposite sex. Recently, some girls and women specifically give themselves injections in order to enlarge their lips. You don't have to do this procedure if you wear braces. Since the lips will lift without any injections and will visually look larger.
Passion
But if you still want a passionate kiss, then you should change the technique. The owner of the design must open his mouth wider during it, so that accidentally, from an excess of strong feelings, he does not injure his partner’s tongue. But at first you shouldn’t rush; you’ll have to add passion to the kiss more slowly than usual. French kissing should also be mastered gradually when braces are installed, so that your tongue does not touch the metal again.
The main thing during a kiss is not to develop complexes, not to worry, but to adapt to new circumstances. Gradually it will become clear how exactly you need to kiss so that nothing gets stuck and you can’t get hurt or injure your partner. Over time, you can even invent your own, individual kissing technique if you have braces. And this will make it even more pleasant for the couple to communicate, because this will be their intimate discovery or a small test of feelings.
About food
It is not recommended to eat hard, difficult-to-chew foods before or during a date.
Before and during a date (for example, at the cinema), those with braces are advised to refrain from crunchy foods, popcorn, nuts, and foods that are difficult to chew. The remains of such food will get stuck in the structural elements and will have to be removed at home. You can eat something that is easy to chew or dissolve in your mouth, such as chocolate. Onions and garlic before the start of a date should be canceled by everyone who wants it not to be the last, and not only because of the presence of braces.
Myth 4. After installing braces, you cannot eat hard and sticky foods, or chew chewing gum.
This is partly true. Diet recommendations are aimed at reducing the risk of damage to braces. Eating foods such as apples, carrots, meat, and hard bread is still possible, but requires a little more caution - for example, in finely chopped form.
In the case of sticky bars, candies, and chewing gums, the problem is that food particles stick to the archwire or clasps, which can cause damage. In addition, the habit of chewing gum is harmful because it causes overload of the temporomandibular joints.
Braces are made in such a way that they can serve you flawlessly throughout the entire treatment period. Too rough food or pressure when chewing nuts or seeds can damage the system components. This increases treatment time and also leads to additional costs when replacing damaged elements.
Jokes aside
Important! People who have braces installed at first experience certain difficulties associated with adaptation. If they (especially teenagers) are ridiculed during such a period, and even from a partner, then some simply remove the structure without going halfway to a correct bite and a dazzling smile. This is unreasonable, but from a psychological point of view it is understandable. After all, during such a period they experience severe stress, uncertainty, and discomfort.
In this case, the partner or partner must provide moral support to their half, and jokes on this topic can only be made if both have such a structure in their mouths.
To thoroughly clean your mouth, you will need:
- A toothbrush with a depression in the center of the bristles. It allows you to clean the outside of the braces while cleaning your tooth enamel.
- A very soft and preferably narrow brush for cleaning the area near the gums. The smaller the bristles, the better, as they will be more flexible and mobile.
- Dental brushes for cleaning the pads of brackets, as well as the areas between teeth. The size of the brushes should be selected by your orthodontist. They must match the size of the staples.
You can also use dental floss and mouthwash for additional care. There are no special requirements for the selection of paste and rinse aid. Braces systems are not sensitive to their effects. The only thing is that the doctor may prescribe you a special paste if there are any associated problems with your gums or teeth. You should also visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings. But, as a rule, this procedure coincides with the procedure for tightening the staples, so there is no need to make an additional appointment with a doctor.
It is very important to clean the brace system after every meal, so you should always have at least a minimal cleaning kit with you - a brush or irrigator. You can also carry a small bottle of mouthwash with you. It is desirable that it contains fluorine. Various herbal decoctions are also suitable for home disinfection of the oral cavity after eating. Most often, decoctions of chamomile, calendula or oak bark are recommended. They have an antiseptic effect, heal possible microcracks, and also improve the condition of the gums.
