Okay, so I just got ceramic braces, well just the brackets and spacers (which may I add, hurt like hell). Anyways, I have a lot of questions:1) ceramic braces are suppose to be clear right? But the ones that I have either have blue dotted lines or something or pink ones that run from the top to the bottom of the brackets. Is that suppose to be there? Or would they put rubberbands later on to cover it up.2) my orthodontist said that ceramics work faster, but every website that I checked said that it takes longer than normal metal braces.3) I‘m gonna have to get four of my teeth pulled out, they‘re going to put me to sleep, but would it start hurting after I wake up? And how long would it take for the gaps to close up? (I mean I know that it‘s different for everyone, but approximately?)4) on a scae of 1-10 how much does it hurt when you get the wire in, and for how long?thanks! :D
Always start out in first. To slow down, push on the brakes. To stop, you need to pull the clutch lever in. The front brake is used more for stopping, but grab it too hard or you will go over the bars
1) The lines might be temporary. When I first got mine, I had little colorful dots on them, and the ortho told me they'd brush off eventually and were only there to help remind him which brackets went on which teeth. It took a few days, but the color did come off. 2) I've never heard that ceramic braces work faster than metal, so. not so sure about that one. But it could be true. I have ceramic brackets and I'm due to get my braces off 8 months earlier than expected. That could be due to any number of factors, though. 3) If you can convince your orthodontist not to pull four teeth, do. I'm not going to ramble about it, but. If you need space, try an expander. If you have an overbite, just use elastics. Anyway, extractions will hurt when you wake up, but just pop some painkillers and you'll feel fine. The gaps, if you start getting them closed immediately, can take anywhere between a few months to a year, or longer. I had one tooth pulled (a lower incisor, so it was small) and it took about. 4-5 months to close. 4) I'd give it. a 6, maybe. Because if you keep taking painkillers, it's practically painless. Until you try eating. Eating is awful, for the first few days. Stick to soft foods and you'll be fine. Good luck with your braces! :)
Yes, you have to downshift to first. If you don't have the braking and shifting part of riding figured out yet, you should find a big parking lot (preferably an empty one) and practice braking and shifting. If you go out on the road or trails before you know what your doing the results could be extremely fatal. Take it from someone who knows. I'm not trying to sound like a know it all, I just don't want you to get hurt. Ride safe!!!
To brake a motorcycle you should slow down in the gear you are in, Don't lug the engine until it dies but just above idle pull in the clutch and apply the brakes. When you have come to a complete stop, keep the clutch in and shift the gears back to first or if you like you can shift into neutral and let off the clutch. Don;t forget the reengage the clutch and shift into first before taking off again.
