Main Tips:
1. They will hurt in the beginning. Be prepared. The level of pain entirely depends on your tolerance for pain. Just be ready with advil or pain reliever
2. At first, follow what the doctor says about food. When you get use to them, be more adventurous and try out stuff you aren't supposed to eat (be careful)
3. Make sure you brush and floss or you will have permanent stains on your teeth when they come off
4. When you get them tightened, be ready for soreness
5. Remember how great your teeth will be when you get them off!
Hope this helps a bit! I get them on in 9 days

dont be, having braces is a statment to say that you care about your teeth, look at the ppl who have like 3 teeth and laugh!!!
Me myself am wearing braces
Well for the first week your teeth is soo painful as it is tightened. You can only eat soft stuffs
Only for the first week,the next time u go and tighten it again,it'll be just fine,jus a little tight.
You will slowly get used to it..
Brush your teeth after every meal,or jus morning and night.
Do not eat too much sweets
and do not eat hard stuffs,it will break ur braces
No gum too..
Endure for the first week ok
Bcos when u take it out,it'll be pretty!
Hi Mal,
Just try to relax. It isn't that bad. There are thousands of us wearing them. Trust in your orthodontist and just think of how great you will look when your treatment is complete. BTW-Lots of guys are very attracted to girls in braces. Good for you for taking care of your teeth!
Nothing to freak about trust me. When you get them for the first time, it's going to hurt a little but after that, everything is going to be fine.
Some tips you should know, don't worry about it, clean your braces everyday, floss, mouth wash, and brush around the brackets, don't eat anything too hard and stay away from sugar gums (those are a hassle to get off).
Also, if your wire sticks out in the back of your cheeks, roll up the wax that they give into a ball and place it on the wire.
Everything is going to be okay, no need to worry =]. Just be happy that you're going to have a beautiful smile after braces!
Honey, calm down, braces don't hurt too much, um your dentist will prepare you for everything. (And the results are worth it)
it as much candy as you can but don't bug about it it will take about 10 min
Hey don't get freaked! I get mine tomorrow and I am excited to get straight teeth! Just think about that! After doing research on YA for some months now, I can tell there will be some discomfort for the 1st week having them on but I am prepared! If you want I can post a question on YA telling my expirence with them on tomorrow afternoon! Oh and spacers (if you get them) kind of hurt after some hours getting them on and when you get them first put in (well for me it hurt) then it is uncomfortable then and feel like you have something stuck in between your teeth but I get it off tomorrow and get the braces! Having the spacers I ate soft foods and one day I even went to bed early but woke up and was like what is in my mouth because I thought I had meat stuck! LOL! I was able to eat on Christmas day and I forgot I had it! Oh and eat a lot before you get the braces on because you will be sore and it will hurt so you won't to eat and will be hungry also put chapstick on because they hold your mouth open with those lip stretchers!
God Bless!
yes, make sure that wen u first get your braces, have soup, pudding, and son on to eat. Its not that bad. after a while, you completeley forget that you have braces. Trust me, dont worry because i wasted so much time worring when i should have not even given much thought about it
