    being bulimic will ruin your teeth, and with braces on, it will do it quicker because of all the stomach acids that will get trapped in the braces. Suggest you get professional help for your bulemia, or it will follow you all your life.

    confident. Your abdomen incorporates acids and on a similar time as your braces can take particularly acid (from nutrients factors), abdomen acids are particularly stable. for my section i does no longer be worried approximately ruining the braces - being bulimic ruins your the teeth too as abdomen acids can placed on away the teeth teeth.

    yes being bulimic will not only ruin your braces, but your teeth as well. I strongly urge you to seek a more healthy form of weight control

    I don't know about your braces, but being bulimic would sure ruin the lining of your esophagus and throat.

    You need to get help with the eating disorder. Poor thing if you don't know that it is harmful to your entire well being then you need help. The acid will rot your teeth and can cause esophageal (sp?) cancer.

    I'll pray for you!
