Do you think i should get anesthesia while i get my orthodontic appliance and top wire for my braces?

Makes no difference: There should not be a problem to get anesthesia with dental braces in place.

If needed: If you are healthy there is little risk. If you and your dentist think it will help go for it.

No: Just got done with braces, don't ask why, and there was no need for any type of anesthesia.

No: Completely not needed. Like asking if you need anesthesia for a regular doctor check-up. The procedures you described have no pain associated.

No, you will be fine: That would be like having anesthesia for a dental check up, completely unnecessary. If you have anxiety, you might try a 5 mg valium to be calm and easy to work with.

Never: If placement of normal orthodontic appliances creates the need for anesthesia, something is wrong. Getting braces is almost painless. Several hours later the teeth will start to ache, but still anesthesia has no place in normal orthodontics.

Not needed: I don't even have local anesthesia, or general anesthesia, in my office. Getting braces can be a little uncomfortable, so you may want to take an advil (ibuprofen) before the appointment, and you may be a bit achey, for a few days afterward, but frank pain is extremely rare. Talk with your orthodontic specialist beforehand. Orthodontists are trained to make your treatment as comfortable as possible.

One option : If you are particularly anxious - one alternative is semi-permanent ear acupuncture. Tiny needles remain in place for one to seven days. They can be placed for dental analgesia and for anxiety.

Absolutely not: There are no orthodontic appliances or braces that would call for the patient to receive anesthesia prior to their application. However, if the patient suffers an anxiety disorder, or is unusually anxious with regard to the procedures, this information should be shared with the orthodontist prior to the appointment so that the matter can be addressed.
