Braces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!
Question:
Braces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
i'm going to be 15 in two months, and i'm getting braces in a couple of weeks!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE i know who has had braces has gotten them off, i will be the only person i know who still has braces!! but my real problelm is that i'm really scared, does it really hurt, for how long, and is 18 months a long time to have them on?
Answers:
I have been an orthodontic assistant for 9 years and I had braces as a teen as well. Braces are more annoying than painful. They do cause a little soreness but just minor. I see people of all ages every day. More and more adults have braces now than ever before. Braces are so common that most people will not even look twice at them.
It is normal to be nervous about something new, but it isn't as bad as you think.
Good Luck
