    Just curious why your ortho told you to wait. Mine wants me to go ahead and get started

    Your gums are softer while pregnant, so I would assume trying to do something like braces would fail.  I would check with your orthodontist though.

    Not to mention your gums are so much more sensitive and susceptible to inflammation and infection during pregnancy. You don't want to risk that.

    I'm doing them, but am on my last refinement, meaning my teeth are almost straight! The only things I find to be a hassle is trying to keep them in for the 22 hours a day, because I'm wanting to eat...all...the...time!

    I had braces pre-pregnancy.  The ortho wasn't concerned he just told me to be diligent about brushing to avoid any gum problems.  I'm already pretty diligent because I can't stand the food and stuff getting stuck in and around my braces.  I'd say if you don't already have them though, wait.
