Thanks and will do.

Ask the Dentist - I see lip piercings and braces fairly frequently.

The question isn't "should" you do it; the question is "can" you do it.

If your parents are willing to sign and you want it done and the Dentist approves I don't see any "no you can't" answer.

Okay I don't have another ortho appointment till August and I'm getting it done in July so this month before I go to nova scotia where I'm getting it done I will get one of my parents to call
Thank You

I'm 15 , and I've had my 3 liprings for 2 years now . Personally , as long as you get it a little lower than normal lip rings, then you should be fine , as long as you stick to a stud, and not a hoop. I that this helped .c:

P.S. - here are aftercare basics

-no drinking milk for a week
-no oral sex for 3 weeks (I don't know, it's always on the after-care instruction sheet, around here)
-everytime you drink or eating anything, you got to rinse out your mouth with Listerine.

For washing;
For the first week; was twice a day , with antibacterial soap(outside of mouth only) and normal water . When done washing, then put neosporian(I know, I spelled it wrong) around the pierced area . After the first week , cut down to only washing once a day, and continue putting neosporian around the pierced area . After the first 2 weeks are up, the piercing should be healed

I have the same problem. My mother is against it, but my father's OK with it. He also said to ask my orthodontist 1st. My orthodontist told me you can get it done, but it's not recomened with braces. So, I'd wait till your braces are off to get it done.

I have braces too, top and bottom, and I want to get my lip pierced on the side as well. I am 13 years old and extremely mature, but my parents are still saying no. I have weighed thee pros and cons and I think I could take care of a lip ring. I have 1 ear piercing in my left ear and 2 in my right and I just got my second right one a couple weeks ago, I am taking great care of it. I just got my braces last Friday so if I wait until they come off to get my lip pierced then I will be waiting 2 whole years, by the way I have been being very careful about what I eat and drink and I brush my teeth even more than I have to without any prodding from my parents. Whenever I ask my mom she yells at me for asking and she never really gives me reasons about why she is so against me having a lip ring. I know ways to hide it, like the clear studs and stuff and I have been researching everything possible about them. Does anyone have any suggestions on hoow I could possibly change my parents' minds and get them to give me their consent?? Please, I could use all the help I can get.

I was asking the same question because I might need braces. I have snakebites so for one it might get caught in the wire because with most lip piercings you have a flat back and what not. I've had the regular flat back studs and they scrap against your teeth because you need a longer bar to accommodate the swelling and those would definitely cause more damage to your braces especially after they heal.. I started wearing captive rings and they don't scrap against your teeth at all and would cause less damage.
If you still want the lip piercing you could request to have a hoop put in instead of the stud, but studs are better and make the healing process faster. Also oral piercings heal really fast so in the second week of getting the piercing you could always change it to a hoop if you have a stud...

I'd wait if I were you only because you already have braces. If you were to have the piercing before I'd say it's no problem.. I also suggest talking to your orthodontist and a piercing artist and get professional feedback..
Hope this helped

I have my bottom lip pierced on the right side. & I have braces. However, I will bother your braces until you get used to it . & on the orthodontist they will hurt you with the tools..

But yeah you can get it with no problem ((:
