Question

Can you still get braces while pregnant?

Answer

Depends on the orthodontist but yes

Answer

Probably best to wait. They have to do x rays which isn’t recommended during pregnancy. Also your mouth/teeth will be very sore for a couple days after each appointment and you won’t be able to take any Advil etc

Answer

I would think so. You'd have to ask them. I didn't get mine on when I was pregnant but I got them off when I was pregnant without issue. They may need to take xrays but if your dentist has current xrays of your teeth they may be able to use those. Xrays are not inherently dangerous from what my dentist said. They just usually don't do them unless necessary as they don't want the liability if something were to go wrong. But that can literally be said about most things while pregnant

Answer

If it’s like candid or Invisalign or something yes but you are able to get them they will cover your baby with a blanket to protect them from the X-ray machine. And on X-ray usually won’t hurt the baby.

Answer

Yes it's not a problem. I started the brave process before getting pregnant and had them fitted at 12 weeks. It was an invisalign so no need for x rays. All went well I'm 38 weeks now and had them removed a few weeks ago.
