Braces? Eating?!


Question: Braces!? Eating!?
Okay so i know everyone including my ortho said that it'll hurt for a couple days after getting braces and that i won't be able to eat anything but soft foods for that time, but mine honestly don't even hurt!. I mean they're a bit sore if i bite on them hard, but other than that i'm pretty fine!.

So i started immediately eating my solid normal food the day after i got them (slowly of course), is that okay!? Is the only reason why you're not suppose to eat solid food is because it'll hurt!? Or am i just suppose to listen to them and eat soup and stuff for a few days!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
