Answers:
yea its fine, if you ask your dentist/orthodontist they should be able to give you picksters which are like mini toothbrushes but they fit underneth your wires, you can get them really thin as well!.

your teeth only hurt because they are being pulled with a great amount of force, the pain will go away after a while!. if it gets too bad use pain killers :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used to have braces and I wouldn't even clean my teeth in the evening after I'd been to the dentist's because they hurt so much!.
Braces = owowow unfortunately =)
It's worth it in the end though, I promise!

Yeah it shouldn't hurt anything!. Swishing around some salt water may help with the pain from swelling!. Plus I recommend a waterpic it's is more effective and less pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes, you can!. if it hurts then dont!. if it doesn't hurt then you can floss!. or you can ask the dintist !.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah you can take a rest BUT!.

Just my opinion, floss between your molars at least or any place you know food clogs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
