Answers:
They do hurt!. They will for probably about a week after you get them!. They'll also hurt when you get them tightened!. I've had braces for 2 years now, and haven't found anything I can't really eat!.
Sugary foods are easily stuck in and around braces!. This could cause early tooth decay though- so watch out!.
Also, when eating Apples, Pears, Peaches, etc!. Just make sure you cut the fruit into chunks!. It's almost impossible to bite into an apple with braces!.
Sugarless gum too! Regular gum gets stuck easily!.
Best of luck!
you won't have to go veg though!.!.not at all!. Meat may get annoying and stuck sometimes!. Just keep a tooth brush on you and you'll be fine!Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, you don't have to go vegetarian!. Braces are sore the first week, but you'll get used to them!. If the pain is too much, take a Tylenol or something!. I chew gum, even though I'm not supposed to, but they don't stick on my braces!. Don't try caramel!. It's a major sticker!. And brush your teeth after eating ribs or another meat!. It gets stuck in your braces, and you find them a few hours after dinner!. Gross!. Do not eat apples unless they're cut up! It gets all over your braces and is a pain to clean out!. And corn on the cob is too!. Try eating soft foods the first week or few days of braces!. Your teeth are moving a lot at that time, and it hurts to chew tough food!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I've had braces for about 4 years, and I won't lie to you, they kinda suck!. Your mouth is pretty sore when you get them on, so I suggest something like Advil to reduce the pain!. Also, stay away from hard foods when you first get them on!. I ate a lot of pudding when I got my braces put on!.
The orthodontist will give you a list of things you can and can't eat!. It's mostly hard candy, and hard food like taco shells and pretzels!. But no, you don't have to go vegetarian!. Meat doesn't hurt braces at all!.

You are in the exact same postion i was in 6 months ago!. i also had four teeth out for braces!. Dw it doesn't hurt!
With regards to braces, once you get them on you'll slowly learn what they can and can't handle!. You don't have to go vegetarian! Don't eat the hard bits in microwaved pies they broke my wire!. Also stay away from steaks, anything with nuts, and chocolate with crunchy bits in them!. ie violet crumbles and picnics!. it also helps when you have a massive craving for crunchy food to take whatever you want and crush it with a spoon in a bowl until they are small enough so they can't break your braces!.
Just as well you don't chew gum becaue it can get stuck in your braces but you can get certain gums that won't stick or damage your braces!.
When you first begin you may paranoid about your food but there aren't too many changes in your diet!.
