Answers:

Don't worry yourself. It doesn't hurt when they put the braces on, but your mouth will be very, very tender on Thursday and for several days after that. Just make sure you have a lot of cold, soft foods to eat because you won't be able to chew much. Good foods to have are ice cream, popsicles, yogurt, jell-o, etc.

If you really don't want silver braces, they now make clear ones that are much less noticable. I believe they cost more, but if your parents are willing to pay for it, it's something you might want to check into. I had braces for 3 years too and it's really not a big deal. Most kids get them these days.

Ask your parents for all of your favorite foods on Tuesday so you can fill up since you really won't be able to eat much for a few days afterwards.

Just think of the beautiful teeth and smile you will have to show for this in a few years (not that you don't have a nice smile now).
