Question: Getting braces in 9 days and need to know everything!


Answers: Getting braces in 9 days and need to know everything!

ok well, the first week it hurts a little (some more than others). you will want to eat a lot of applesauce, pudding, jello, maccaroni and cheese, and smoothies. after a week, you are still a little bit sore, but you can probably eat solid food much more easily. they tell you not to eat gum with sugar when you have braces, but there really isnt much of a difference. they gave me a list of things i couldnt eat, and i obeyed it for a while until i got more comfortable with braces, and then you learn your limits. just be very careful with peanuts!! you can eat them, but just one at a time and consentrate on eating them so you can make sure they stay on your teeth and not your brackets. also, if your wire pokes you in the back (that happens occasionaly) put gum on it. they gave me wax, but it was extremely hard to get it on because it is in the back of my mouth. that is about it. i was very nervous, but everything was just fine. just take 2 ibeprofen before you go so it will take away some pain if it hurts. one more thing, i would get silver bands because when you have colored braces, it can look like you have some food stuck in your brackets. you can get them to be colors, but it is up to you. i hope this helps and good luck!! i get mine off in 6 months!! =)

make sure u keep ur teeth clean...
flossing helps alot...if u dont keep ur teeth clean then itll affect them when u get them off.
and ull get used to them after a couple weeks...at first u mite hate them.
and there will be a little pain but it doesnt hurt like ppl try to say it does.
(i had braces for 2 years)

Do what the orthodontist tells you! I had braces for three years, but I NEVER wore any of the retainers or anything, which basically rendered the whole thing pointless!

the first week hurts like hell. by up on smoothues and easy to eat food. brushing ur teeth is surprisingly like normal. Eat the moment u get them on cause they only start to hurt the second day. no crunchy chewy or super hard stuff. SKip the popcorn. If something breaks fix it as soon as possible and u might get them off in a year. =D (i only have 5 months left to go)
