What does it mean to dream about braces and teeth?

The pliability of the braces indicates that others may “bend to your will” In historical dream dictionaries of the 1700’s they state the following “The message of this dream is to, keep your mouth shut! Avoid escalating tensions around sensitive and personal issues.” This can sound kinda harsh but the message in the ancient literature that I have researched - is that you need to keep things to yourself. Turning to dream psychology, if we look at the famous dream psychologists such as Carl Jung or Sigmund Freud they believed that the “mouth” in dreams was a symbol of gossip. Yes, gossip is everywhere. We just need to check Facebook, Twitter or put on the television. So if you hear someone say “have you heard about…” are you suddenly interested? Surprisingly, the dream represents that gossip is currently bait for yourself or others. In regards to teeth - if you see your own teeth in a dream it has been connected to your own sexuality and this dream has also been associated to how we transition from one event in our life to another. In many dream books teeth also represent our own anxiety in life. So I will now move onto specific dream meanings about braces.

What is the general mean regarding braces?

There are many meanings regarding braces, such as keeping your mouth shut, not gossiping and bracing yourself for a big event. The circumstances around the dream are equally important. If you yourself are wearing braces or you have crooked teeth, psychologically this dream indicates you are searching for an answer in a situation which you feel powerless. There is definitely a social stigma attached to braces. If your brace is uniformly covered your teeth then this indicates the need to weigh up how you communicate with people to act appropriately in life. If your brace is contained metal bands in brackets then this is connected to the fact that you need to think about how you communicate with others. If the braces are for cosmetic purposes in a dream and the objective is to straighten your teeth the brace is what is called an archetype. Carl Jung believed that there are symbols in our dreams which can fall into four specific categories. I won’t go into detail about these categories, however, the braces will fall into what is known as the “self.” The dream, in essence, is associated with how you can improve your perception of others.

A tooth has many parts and some are more sensitive than others. Enamel is the hardest part of our teeth and for these to be hidden by metal braces can suggest that you are putting yourself at risk in regards to gossip. The bible says that the words of a gossip are like choice morsels (Prov.18:8 26,22) basically choice morsels are addictive like that packet of chocolate in your cupboard. Technology and Facebook have enabled us to mass communicate and what this dream is saying spiritually is to be discrete for a while as you may be addicted to finding out about others. Have you been reading your Facebook feed too much or listening to others gossip?

This dream can suggest that you are tired of “carrying an extra load” but you need to do these things - in order to get to your goals. I will now try to explain and rationalize what I am saying. Seeing braces on someone else can indicate meeting goals at different times. This is because the jaw can grow at different rates, an uneven jaw or overhanging jaw parts - are both supposed to work in unison. Therefore, to actually see someone else wearing braces indicates that YOUR own goals will be reached at different times.

We normally get given a retainer when we have a problem with our normal occlusion. The dream meaning of a brace comes under the same meaning. For the retainer to pop out or get lost in a dream is connected to our inner fears of loss. As I already mentioned before the retainer is removable, thus, is an important “symbol” because in dreams can indicate that with time we will encounter sustenance, abundance, and nourishment from our fears in life and we wish to remove all the negative things. If you are wearing braces with headgear this can be connected to transforming your life in positive ways. To see a splint in a dream indicates you need to open up to the potential you have.

What does it mean to dream of a brace when you wear one in real life?

Wearing a brace in real life to straighten your teeth can sometimes lead to dreaming of the brace, in both the positive and negative light. I can remember myself when I was a child I was given a detachable retainer because I sucked my thumb. I would often have dreams about crushing my retainer. I am here to tell you these dreams are common. Sigmund Freud believed that we all dream of items or symbols that we see in daily life and if you wear a brace in real life this dream has no real spiritual meaning. I hope these dream meanings have helped you.

In summary, If we turn to the biblical saying “out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matt 12:24) the heart is your own control in life and the person that you really are. Try to guard against gossip and protect yourself going forward. Think about why you say certain matters and also the reasons for listening or reading gossip. Stories and news are how we learn about life and the world - what I am trying to say here is that if you dreamed of a brace it is important to not “close” people off but think about what others are saying. Please take my views lightly and as entertainment only but I do wish you well. Blessings Flo
