first off when your braces are being put on it doesnt hurt at all other than maybe some mild pressure, not a big deal at all, all they do is clean your teeth and make sure they are totally dry then they put glue on each tooth then carefully attach the bracket one at a time then they harden or "cure" the glue with some kind of light thats purple lol it might be a blacklight idk, but anyway then they show you a bunch off tiny colored "o rings"or ligatures that you can pick from, but this is the wierdest time cuz your just sitting there with these brackets on your mouth and it feels wierd and they are expecting you to pick you ligature colors, by the way my favorite colors are blue and teals they look cute and dont get white yellow dark green or clear they look funny, then once you have picked your colors they find a wire and attach it to the brackets one by one with the "o rings" and ta da your done, then they tell you all the stuff not to eat and what to do if something breaks and they give you some wax and your on your way easy as that this appointment takes probably and hour maybe and hour and a half!. for the fist day you cant eat much stick to soups and yogarts, actually its pretty much like this for 4 or 5 days up to a week or two depending on how bad your teeth are!. the only thing that really hurts is the next day and the day after that cuz your mouth and gums will be very sore, but remember to take things like advil or motrin to help

The color depends on your personality!. Are you wanting your braces to stick out or blend in!? If you want them to stick out, go for what is fun for you!.!.!. wear bright orange and green or something! If you want them to blend, try black or get wire ties!. Personally, I can't have colors with my braces because of the style of braces I have (Damon's), so I just get to wear colored elastics and I go all out with those!.!.!. neon all the way, right in front, and I have a blast!!
It is uncomfortable getting them on!. It doesn't really hurt, except to have your mouth pulled apart and left open for a while!. It will probably taste worse than it hurts!.!.!. You will feel pressure when they put the wires in and if you are instructed to wear elastics/ rubber bands!.
The pain probably won't start until you get home and they start wearing on your gums and cheeks!. The wire will apply pressure, which might cause the sensation of pain!. You might get sores, which you can put ambesol or orajel on to directly numb them!. Wax can be applied to the rough parts, but it should not be worn at night!. Stay hydrated, so your mouth will have plenty of saliva to move over and around the brackets!. Wear tons of chapstick!! Cannot stress the chapstick concept enough --- in fact, wear it BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT! Your lips can split or really hurt after your braces are put on because of the stretching!. You can take Advil or Motrin before you go in and take it regularlly after you get them on to help ease any discomfort!.
GOOD food!.!.!. well!.!.!.
- yogurt (smoothies, shakes, cups)
- puddings
- mac and cheese (this is my personal favorite!)
- mashed potatoes
- oatmeal/ cream of wheat (this is a healthy one)
- jello
- cake, soft breads (they will just get stuck really bad, but won't hurt to chew)
- ice cream
- soup (I lived on this in the beginning!!)
You will want to start eating more "solid food" as soon as you can because the chewing will actually help you work through the soreness!. TRUST ME, this works!.!.!. because you have to teach yourself how to eat and tolerate the pressure of eating with braces on!. It might take a couple of days, but you should be able to go back to sandwiches and softer regular foods within 2-3 days!. A normal braces diet can be resumed whenever you are able to grind and chew your food adequately!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The only color i got and didnt like was yellow!. Though clear gets stained really quickly and looks gross and black looks like rotting teeth!. If you dont like the color, they will change it for you immediately after putting it on!. They have handouts with all the color choices, not a big deal!. I ate taco bell after getting mine on!. It helps to just stick a piece of gum in your mouth and chew through the pain!. Otherwise, youre teeth will be really sore for weeks if you just dont chew and get it over with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
