Hello there. Do you have braces?
No I do not, but my daughter does for structural purposes.  She only needed a little bit of cosmetic work
Are braces considered cosmetic for the most part or do people get them for other reasons?
They can be utilized to correct problems other than cosmetic.  A person with an underbite could use braces for example
Ahh. I didn't know that. I have never needed braces, but I always thought the invisible ones were cool.
The clear ones are nice, but they are also used with other orthodontic appliances to help
Sounds good. Are there things you cannot eat when you have braces?
Yes my daughter has a list of food she cannot eat such as chips, gum, and hard/sticky things
I would think they could get stuck in the braces. That would be a pain. How long does she have to keep them on?
She has to keep them on for 1.5 years to straighten and align her teeth
