I need help with braces!?

Hey, I have to get braces in like two weeks, please help me on deciding colors, and include any information on what food I should eat and stuff like that. Also, explain how musch it hurts on a scale of 1 to 10. Please include any other information too!

i had braces for a few years. sometimes it depends on what they do for your teeth and what size wire they put in as to how much it hurts. i dont really remember being in too much pain. i would say on the worst days it was probably like a 7.2 ish. try not to eat very hard things or really sticks things like caramels because they are really hard to get out. and plus hard things like jawbreakers or chewy things like bread crust can break off the brackets if enough force is applied. and make sure to always brush your teeth. my bff had braces for 4 years and she sometimes didnt brush and you could see the lines of yellow after she got them taken off. if your ortho doc says not to eat something, dont eat it. it sucks a lot but ive had my fair share of broken brackets and its annoying to have them put back on. as for colors, stick with darker colors because lighter ones will get stained easily like if you have mustard or spaghetti sauce or things like that. they will give you wax too so you can put it on your brackets if they scrape your lips. always carry some with you but if you dont put it on then your lips will get used to it and they wont hurt as much if they get scraped up.
