How do I learn to love my braces?

I got my braces put in today, and even though I am aware that they'll give me straight, gorgeous teeth, I still don't like them.

They are really painful, prevent me from eating some of my favorite foods, and when I smile, I think I look horrible.

Any tips on how to overcome this and learn to like them?

Thanks in advance.

Do an internet search of before and after pictures. This is only temporary. The pain will go away, and you will get used to them. Time will fly by, and once they are off you will be elated that you got them.
