I know this is extreme but does getting braces make you lose weight?

I need the braces anyway so it's not like I would get braces to lose weight.

Answers:
Um..no.

wtf?
no that's getting your jaw wired shut because then you can only have liquids.
Only if you eat less.
I had them when I was a teen-ager. And yes it did, because I couldn't eat any candy or sweets--not with the braces they had in the 1960's. Also I had to brush after every time I ate, which made me want to eat less, so I wouldn't have to brush so much.

So that's the reason I lost weight.
Where in the hell did you hear that from?!
It could since you aren't aloud certain food and drinks, ex. Candy, Soda..which both can cause weight gain. So yeah sure, you could lose some weight.
well, you may eat less because of the uncomfortableness of it all, & you can't eat certain things while wearing braces, including candy & some junk foods.try it, this is the time to go on a diet!
no sorry

good luck!
No but wiring your mouth shut may help you lose weight.
No. They are only sore when they get tightened. You'll still be able to eat. Even if you couldn't chew, there are loads of calories in milkshakes and ice cream. Think of all the chubby kids walking around with metal mouths.
not its just takes a few weeks to adjust to eating with them. if yr looking at losing weight try weight loss and exercise programs on this site
I had braces as an adult - just had them off 1.5 years ago, and initially I must admit - I did not eat much and most was very soft or through the juicer - so did I loose weight - yes - not dramatically - but did it come back - yes.

Once my mouth got used to the braces and after each adjustment, I was eating normally as before.
No. Eating is difficult at first, but then you adjust and eat normally.
