Braces can make you very sick. Share this with your friends. Not being able to breathe is very scary and can be life threatening. I went
to so many doctors and had so much testing. I hope by telling my story I might save even one person from having to live this nightmare. Thankfully,I am well now since mine were removed. If you have questions please feel free to ask. I can share my experience but ultimately you will need to ask your doctor. Please check out my music. Don't forget to subscribe.
Thanks, Tiffany Jo

  • OMG i am getting braces i hope that wont happed

  • This is extremely rare. I have worked for an orthodontist for over 16 years and NO patient has every experienced this type of severe reaction. Braces are not a health risk and it is unnecessary to do testing on every patient for potential allergies. It is a shame that this young lady experienced this. I think that it is a shame that no one recognized a latex allergy earlier for her. This seems like a very obvious reaction to me.

  • Im getting braces soon and i hope that wont happen to me..... I will literally die

  • I'm going to get braces soon. I'm not alergect to anything should I still get them. But when I was little I would get a wears rash after eating a lot of ketccup. But not any more

  • what does braces have to do with your throat? mhh i wonder

  • i had braces in high school (mid 1980s) i didn't have allergic reaction but the braces were defective! I guess that doctor wasn't to good! i have a bad habit of biting my lip and when i had braces i bit my lip SO BAD i need two stiches!

  • It probably was the latex in the gloves. Do you still need braces? I would try invisalign if you still need them, but looking at your teeth, it looks like they are pretty straight now anyway! Glad you are ok, merry christmas to you.

  • @ApostolicLove Your pretty lucky, braces suck. But it's worth it, l guess.

  • you just said u were allergic to peanuts and the protien in the metal was very alike so u had a allergic reaction so u shouldnt have made this video because theres a 50% chance this will happen to anyone else im sorry u had to go thru all of those things and im happy u are feeling better

  • because you said that i'm going to start to crying because i'm getting braces you just told every body in the world i can't belive that

  • I'm only allergic to fake metal but you never know

  • i wish i could get braces, my dad can't afford it. Its a good thing your better!
