Answers:

don't worry about it, its not as bad as it sounds. i just got mine of so i pretty much now how it goes. have you gotten the molds done yet? it is some gooey stuff that looks like play doh that they put in your mouth to get the molding. about a week or two later you will get your braces on. they glue the brakets on your teath, they are little square things. they have to put this one thing in your mouth that keeps it open. after that they out in the wire and they let you choose what color of rubber bands you want to have. it does not hurt at all while they are putting them on but it gets a little sore about and hour after. don't worry your teath will get used to it. every 6 weeks or so you will go in and they will check on your teath and they will let you choose different ribber bands and they may also change your wire into a thicker one every once in a while too. you'll be a little sore but not as much as you were when you first got them on. they will check up on your teeth, depending on how they are moving they will put different treatments on them depending on how they are moving. don't worry about it, you will get used to it soon, and when you get them off you teeth feel all slimy and weird, the onlything that sucks about getting them off is that you have to wear a retainer all the time. hope this help! :) good luck!........trust me it does not hurt when they are putting them on.
