Answers:
Ok I am 14 now and I am hoping to get mine off in june/july/auguest!.
And I have had them for 3 years now!.
Now this is what you need to know:
1!.Forget about candy like skittles,taffy,jaw breakers,gum ect!.
They break your braces and you will get yelled at by your othadontist!.
2!.Never eat pototo chips/crunchy food or hard!.
They will help chip off your brackets and it does'nt feel good!.
3!.Always brush your teeth at least 3 times a day 10 minutes a time!.At least I do and they are so very clean =D!.
When you don't brush it does'nt let the teeth move and when you keep them super clean it helps them move faster and keeps gumbs nice and none swelled up!.

I can eat candy wise stuff like these:
Kit Katz,
CRunch bars,
peeps,
Things like that!.

Food I eat all that stuff up at the top because i've learned to eat it just right where you can't bend your braces but I got yelled at last time so no more for now lol!.

Just keep it soft for a few days!.

Onestly,
Try this it sounds so very weird but try this!.
A week before I got braces I had one of those livestrong rubber bracelets things and this is what I did yes the braces still felt weird for a while but it did'nt bother me so bad!.
Take the rubber braclet when knowbodys watching and just fold it and put it over all your teeth like a mouth guard sometimes and your get a lil feeling of what braces are like!.

Weird yes yes I know lol!.
BUT IT WORKS!
lol!.

Braces may hurt you the first day to the third,forth day you have them!.
But by one week there like theres nothing there!.
You may want to take some pain medicine for a few days if it bugs you!.(It will bug you) but not like so much pain its going to kill you!. The pain feels like when a tooth is getting ready to fall out like a baby tooth!.Your gumbs will feel tender but sure enough it will go away in just a few days!

Just ALWAYS keep your teeth clean or when you take your braces off you will wish you never wore them!.

And remeber you will have at least 2!.000$ or more in your teeth!.

I had too get a few things major done like have 4 teeth poled and surgery but thats only because my teeth came in wrong!.

Years past by with braces I tell you that much!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I went for a consultation for braces today-I am 32 and like you I want a nice smile :) The dentist I went to was really nice-He explained everything to me!. First I had the meeting with the dentist, who explained what he was going to do-He wants me to get my teeth cleaned and I already had an appointment with a oral surgeon set up-He said that because of the crowding he was going to take out four teeth-two on top two on bottom (the ones right behind the canines) ,which is where the oral surgeon comes in to play-but I am not going to get them pulled until after I get the braces on (thank god-what a purty smile I would have then) then I will wear braces for 2 years where I will then go in and have my jaw realigned-after the consult I had to discuss finances-which I passed-then I was taken for impressions and pictures of my teeth-that is just the initial visit-will most likely be a little over a month before I get the actual braces on because of all of the other dental appointments needed to put them on-Www@Answer-Health@Com

be sure not to eat foods that are sticky, like gum or starbursts
if you have sores , use wax or numbing medice, it helps a lot
if you have trouble flossing you could look for something like these http://www!.amazon!.com/Glide-Threader-Flo!.!.!.
lastly, talk to your dentist about how your treatment is moving along!. It is good to know when your getting them off and if there might be complications with keeping them on!. Since He/she is the expert if you don't understand something just ask them, thats why they get paidWww@Answer-Health@Com

the first week is KILLER!. i ate like soup and mashed potatoes that whole first month!. getting the braces actually put in at the dentist is nothing since they just take before pictures, x-rays, molds, and use glue to stick the little brackets on!. after you come home, the pain begins!. take tylenol!. eat soft mush!. all the advice i have!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well first hey put a really big whit thing in ur mouth for a very long time and it sometimes starts to hurt!. the first five days there will be some pain in ur gums and it will be very hard to bit!. but u can see the effectiveness of it in a few months!.

i didnt say this to scare u it is just the truthWww@Answer-Health@Com
