hey! im in jr high, but close enough:]
Okay so i have braces and a herbst device.
And its not fun at all.
But its not the end of the world eitherr, i mean you will live.
When i got them, 2 years ago aha 6th grade i was 12.
It wasnt that bad cause a lot of people have them.
And once you have them for a while, people stop noticing.
I understand that you MAY think its gonna make people think your a nerd.
UNTRUE!
Until i had them, guys never liked me and i didnt have any "real" friends.:]

SOOO if anything, im greatful for them.
Surprisingly they gave me confidence.
I wasnt bucktoothed anymore, but i have a pretty white smile.
So yes, be confident. And be yourself. Cause thats what makes you the coolest.

It's going to suck and really hurt.
Take like a motrin or tylenol.

Just make sure you brush your teeth or else stuff will get crusted up all over your mouth.
Which isn't good.

hey i had braces for 4 years, just got them off. i didn't think the spacers hurt that much. but be warned; when i first got my braces it did hurt a bit. the orthodontist just says that you will need to eat soft foods for a little while (like yogurts, ice cream, ect.) to me it felt like a headache, except in my teeth. it goes away after a couple days, don't worry its not terrrrrrible. good luck:) hope its not too bad!!

i've had both of those things. your mouth will be very very tender with the expander for like 2 weeks. braces arent that bad, really. theyll just make your teeth feel loose and will be tender for 1 week. good luck

Mine weren't that bad, I had an expander too, cranked it every day, it wasn't that bad, but do take advil before the visits, it helps with the minor discomfort.

I have a little bit of experience because i have to get braces very soon, i just got spacers in (literally just today) and i am getting the full expander ( i think) in 2 weeks. The spacers, they hurt when the orthadontists puts them in but just a for a sec. And on the car ride home i didn't feel that much pain but unfortunatly i am in a lot of pain but i am going to take something for it. Don't worry it won't hurt for very long, just make sure you eat soft foods because it will hurt to eat, i am almost used to it already so it's really not that bad, but anyway good luck!!!!

Hey, I'm a freshman, but I'll help you anyway I can.
I know things like this can be scary, but just imagine how fun it will be to have perfect teeth, and look forward to getting them off. Every orthodontist I've ever met was really nice, and helpful.
