Answers:
My braces felt like that for the first few weeks!. I actually couldn't close my mouth for a long time, but you get used to it, trust me! I didn't have a bad overbite but I did have one, and I also have smaller teeth, which really I have heard makes the braces a little more bearable!. If you 'baby' your teeth they're going to hurt longer, try an apple!. I know it's going to hurt, but get your mouth used to the pain!. Any other questions about them, I can totally answer!. How long do you have to wear them!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, sometimes people have a little more trouble adjusting to them!.
But it will feel different, and you will eventually reset the way you do everything, including closing your mouth etc!.

And as for the pain, it'll probably hurt for a few more days and as for eating, well :/ hehe, it'll be a week or so!. Because even when your teeth feel better, they will still be sensitive since your mouth is under a lot of pressure from the braces and it will be hard to chew and bite into things!.

Don't worry, you'll gradually build up your ability and it will feel normal!.

Good luck :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

ya they suck, they feel weird and uncomfterble and make you rmouth shut weird!. i had them for 4 years!. Best advice wear your retainer when you are done!. i didnt and since you teeth a "mushy" when you get them off they an move around!. mine are still straight but not as straight as they were!. But atleast it makes you rlips look really big =)!. After a few days they will stop hurting and you can eat normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Try oatmeal, or soup, or smoothies if you are tired of mashed potatoes!.

And it might take a couple of weeks for you to get totally used to it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah, you may even not be able to close your lips without forcing them!. after a few days (maybe a week) your lips with adapt to it and be able to close!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
