.Its not that big of a deal really.
You only use the wax if one of the wires are bugging you but normall the ortho asks if anything is bugging you first.
You can eat Anything! really anything you want, thats what i do. But for the first couple days eat soft things. cause even if you try to eat hard things its not gonna work.
took me almost 2 hours to eat a cheesburger..okay yeah not a good idea.
You'll be able to eat.just take tylenol before you go because it helps after.
And it doesnt even hurt at all!. honestly all you feel is pressure on your teeth.
When they're glueing the brackets on. you wont feel anything.
Just movement, thats all
and yeah thats it..so =] Good luck. and dont worry about.
I actually like having braces, they're fun to have. when they dont hurt atleast.
good luck!
You need to relax when they are putting them on becuase it is boaring getting them put on. My orthodontist played music for the hour it took for my braces to go on.
After they are on your mouth will feel weird for a few days but it will be ok.
Just Relax and stay calm. Bring an ipod or somthing to take your mind off it, ask if you can close your eyes.
take advil or tylenol before you go and stay on it for a few days. it'll feel like your teeth are 3 feet long but as long as you can't feel the pain, you'll be fine. and i wouldn't suggest going out to eat for a few days until you learn how to get food out of your braces on the sly.
i had braces for 4 years. i dont anymore it's wonderful. but they're not that bad.
you probably wont need wax that day take asprin or motrin eat alot right after you get them cause later on they hurt sooo bad but in the begining you can eat alot after that you should eat soft things i prefer things you can just swallow without chewing and it will hurt pretty bad for the next few days
hope i helped
You shouldn't need to use wax if all the wire/bands are put on properly. It's used if a wire is poking you. You probably will be given a list of foods you should avoid while you are wearing braces like caramel, corn on the cob, apples, unless cut up, hard candy, chewing gum. You might also want to take a tylenol or advil just before you get them on, unless you got spacers already. Your mouth may ache for a day or too but the final results will make you happy to smile.
take a tylenol before you go.
it doesnt matter what you eat,
but eat alot so your not hungry after you get them,
because it hurts to eat for awhile.
but brush your teeth extremely good before you go.
move your tongue across your teeth,
remember how it feels,
lol cause it hurts to do that when you get the braces.
all the stuff people said above me and also bring a chapstick because your lips will be soo chapped
Okay first thing first... bring chap stick because you will DEFENETLY need it. That day wont be that bad, you won't really start to feel anything until later that night. The next day though pretty much live off of mashed potatoes, soup, jello, and smoothies. You can use the wax that day if you want to but I didn't.
Good Luck!
