Answers:
Whilst your orthodontist will probably be quite happy to answer any other queries, I have some info!.!.!.
When they are first put on they ache for a couple of days!. The best way to manage this is by taking the correct dose of paracetmol or another painkiller!.
It can be difficult to chew for the first couple of days due to the acheiness, so soft foods such as soup, mashed potato etc!. are probably best!. It's much easier to eat your food if you cut it up quite small!.
It also hurts a little when the braces are tightened, something which generally is done every 4-6 weeks!. Again manage the pain with painkillers and eat soft food!.
You should try and avoid tough or chewy foods such as chewing gum because this can damage the braces!.
You'll need to get a special orthodontic toothbrush for cleaning between the braces!. These can be bought from many orthodontist practises or some chemists!. If you don't already, you may find that using mouthwash helps keep your mouth cleaner!. A common problem with people who have braces is holes in the back teeth because they become hard to reach!. Make sure you pay particular attention to these teeth!. My dentist suggested to me to put a little toothpaste on each tooth and leave it there as a protective layer!. Obviously it disappears after not very long but it does help!.
If you are going out, try to take a bottle of water with you!. This can be used to swill out your mouth and get any large pieces of food stuck in the braces out!. It doesn't sound very nice, but then soggy bread stuck to your teeth doesn't either!
As I'm sure everyone will tell you- it's worth it for the results!
I hope you don't suffer too much with your braces,
good luck

initially they are a pain, yes!. try to get clear, if wire get white, it looks good in pictures, and wire is stronger and takes less time to correct teeth, and beware of hard or chewy things like gum, hard nasty mexican chips, jaw breakers, etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there is only a little pain and its only when you get your braces off!.!. and belive me its worth it!.!. they stay on for a while but when you get them off its more than awesome:):):) and no you most likely dont need anything:)Www@Answer-Health@Com
ok truth- braces are not the easiest process to go through BUT they were totally worth any pain and discomfort I went through!. I had them when I was 12 and I am now 24 and people always complement me on my smile!. Believe me- just do it!. There will be times (usually when you first get them because you have to get used to it) that will seem like you want to not have them but stick it out- your smile is such an important part of your face!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
They hurt for the first like 4 days!.!.!.Sometimes when you have them on!.!.!.the metal can actually cut your lip!.!.!.ouch!.!.!.there isn't anything special you need!. After I got mine on!.!.my mom took me to McDonalds and treated me to about 3 milkshakes!!! They helped the pain some!.!.!.hope this helps!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have braces!. Yes they hurt the first two weeks especially!. and if you wear bands they hurt to!. But you can take painkillers!. and it is worth it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I can't say that there won't be pain, there will but just a little, dont worry!. I had braces when i was 8 and they didn't hurt as long as i had plenty of pain killers!. Different treatment applies to different people, but for me it was well worth it!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
I have braces now!. They don't really hurt!. I had pain when I first got them as they were cutting into my cheeks!.!.you put some wax on the braces and then are okay!. I do not have to put the wax on anymore!. I feel it the day that they tighten the braces every six weeks!. You will need to brush your teeth after every meal!. You'll also need to floss!. They give you several different types of toothbrushes, and other types of things to clean your teeth!. My orthodontist gives me these things as part of the purchase of the braces and does not charge me seperately!.!.!.I would assume other orthodontists do the same thing!. I would definitely recommend getting braces!.!.!.good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
