Learning how to kiss can be quite a challenge, but kissing while wearing braces is much more challenging. But don't worry – if you take it slow and follow some braces-friendly techniques, the kiss will feel so good that you won't even remember that you or your partner are wearing braces. If you want to know how to kiss with braces, follow the steps below.
Step
Part 1 of 3: Preparing for a Kiss Slowly
Step 1. Wait at least two weeks before you start kissing seriously
When you or the person you want to kiss uses braces for the first time, you shouldn't rush into making out as soon as you get out of the dentist's office. Your braces will hurt at first, and it will take you some time to get used to this metal in your mouth, as well as learn how to manage your braces while you eat, brush your teeth, and complete all other tasks, which will become more difficult with braces in place..
You can still kiss that special person on the lips, but don't go any further
Step 2. Start kissing with closed lips
Don't start in a hurry when your teeth come into contact with metal. While you may want to do a french kiss, you should be patient and only kiss on the lips at first – you can gradually increase the kiss to the french kiss stage as you get comfortable. While waiting, you can even use lip gloss to soften your lips before kissing. This can make you feel more comfortable.
Step 3. Be patient
This is especially important if this is your first kiss. Start very gently so you can get a little idea of how he feels later. As you practice more often, you'll know where and when to apply pressure (which is gentle at first), and which locations to avoid. When you kiss your partner, explore his closed lips and see how comfortable you feel before you take the next step. If you don't feel comfortable enough when kissing, stop first.
Part 2 of 3: Making Things Hotter
Step 1. Gently press your lips against your partner's lips
If you do this too hard and too fast, you may hurt your partner, putting your teeth and gums against your lips too – which will hurt yourself in the end. Once you feel comfortable kissing casually, start kissing your partner more passionately, still only with your lips. You can still engage a lot of passion without having a full tongue kiss.
If you're the only one wearing braces, you should probably warn your partner about this
Step 2. Keep your tongue away from the braces
Whether you or your partner is wearing braces, your lips should be wide enough. Also open your mouth large enough so that your tongue can move between your partner's teeth without getting caught in the wires. If you hit the wire, you can hurt your gums or lips, and so can your partner's tongue; especially when his tongue rubs against your braces by accident.
Step 3. Don't be afraid to go further
Yes, you may have to start slowly at first, but this can create anticipation and make your kissing session more interesting. So, once your tongue is comfortable between your partner's teeth and your tongue is away from the braces, explore your partner's mouth. Move your tongue in a circle, or just move it up and down gently while enjoying the sensation.
Don't worry about the braces getting caught. This is completely a myth ! Braces are not magnetic
Part 3 of 3: Maintaining the Atmosphere
Step 1. Avoid consuming strong-smelling foods right before you kiss
While you don't have to be overly pushy to get the perfect situation in your mouth before kissing/lose the romantic feel of spontaneous kissing, you should pay attention to braces-friendly foods and other types that should be avoided under all circumstances. All foods that melt in the mouth and are easy to chew and swallow are acceptable; all foods that are crunchy and require prolonged chewing, or are sticky, such as mangoes, should be avoided.
If you're at the movies and know you're going to kiss, opt for melt-in-your-mouth chocolate instead of popcorn. Popcorn can easily get caught in the teeth and wires
Step 2. Don't make fun of people who wear braces. If you are reading this article because your partner has just had braces, you should really consider the situation sensitively. Don't make any jokes about "braces," unless you want to be embargoed from kissing him. Your partner will likely be very sensitive and embarrassed; your job is to make him feel better, not worse.
If you both wear braces, this is a good thing! You can laugh at each other casually
Step 3. Consider additional steps to keep the atmosphere sexy
If you've kissed a few times while wearing braces to no avail, or if you feel that there are too many rough edges on the metal in your braces that you can't romance, you may need to take a few extra steps. You might consider covering any rough spots with wax or silicone braces, or even smoothing them out at the dentist if the braces are too rough. Do this only if it makes you feel comfortable.
Tips
- Just relax and take it easy. The person you're kissing will know you're wearing braces, and they also know they need to be careful; otherwise, he won't be able to kiss you. Good luck.
- Concentrate on the kiss. Consider your braces, but don't overdo it until you miss the moment. In addition, the person who kisses you does it because he likes you; it doesn't care if you wear braces or not!
- Keep your breath clean! Don't press yourself too hard against your partner's lips if you're the one wearing braces – this can make them feel uncomfortable. If you're french kissing someone with braces, make sure your tongue is away from the back of their mouth. This section is the section that usually contains the sharpest wire. Most importantly, you should relax and stop worrying. The more you think about it, the less concentrated you will be on the kiss, which will make the atmosphere less romantic.
- Relax and have fun. Kissing is all about romance. If you worry about braces all the time, kissing is going to be an unpleasant experience.
- Kissing is about having fun and enjoying the fact that someone really loves you; So don't let anything or anyone get in the way of this romantic experience of your lifetime.
- If you're at the movies and about to start acting, try not to eat popcorn beforehand. Popcorn is very difficult to remove from between teeth and braces. If you are trying to cope with feelings of hunger, chew gum. Chewing gum will not only benefit you, but also good for kissing later.
- Make sure you remove the gum before kissing, because you don't want it to stick to your braces while you're kissing.
- Braces will cause more food debris to get stuck in your mouth. So, clean yourself and brush your teeth regularly.
- Bottom line, consider your braces or your partner the first few times. You will quickly get used to it, and consider kissing as natural.
- You should always remember to brush your teeth and be careful how you kiss.
- If you're a little nervous, tell your partner to take it slow.
- If you wear braces, don't press your mouth too hard.
- Contrary to some myths, it is almost impossible for two people wearing braces to catch each other while kissing. Piercings may get stuck together, but know that this is normal.
- Don't let braces embarrass you, so smile with pride and confidence. It's possible that your crush also wears braces.
- Don't be afraid to put braces on. This doesn't change the way you kiss your boyfriend! You just kiss it and try to ignore the wire! Or, use dental wax/silicone on your front teeth for a smooth kissing process.
