Hey, I got them just under 2 weeks ago!. FIrstly, they put a plastic thing in your mouth, around your lips to keep your leips off the teeth!. This is comfy! the whole process only took about a halfhour for me!.
1!. Moulds are made of your teeth!. X-rays are taken!.
2!. a tube is put in your throat which sucks up all moisture (doesn't hurt)
3!. your teeth are throughly cleaned by the orthodontist
4!. blue goo is applied to your teeth (when it dries, it's glue- dont lick it it tastes awful!)
5!. the orthodontist uses tweezers to expertly position each metal part onto your tooth!.
6!. Ultraviolet light is used to set the glue (blue goo)
7!. the wires are put in
8!. your chosen colour/s are put on (the bands)
9!. finished!
Your mouth probably won't hurt till the next day!. My mouth only hurt for a day or two!.!.!. just an ache!.!.!. not a lot of pain!. You have to work out what you can eat for yourself- i actually had basically no limits!
When you first go to the orthodontist, they take off the wires and coloured bands and replace them with tighter ones!. This hurts the next day, too!. (NOTE: most times you go to the orthodontist (around every 8 weeks) whilst having braces, they'll probably be tightened)!.
Good luck, I actually like mine! They look odd to you for a while!. But they actually look cool when u get used to them!Www@Answer-Health@Com

First they have to take moulds of your mouth in order to make the right shape braces!. To do this they put plasticine-like stuff into your mouth over your teeth!. Its cold but it doesn't hurt!.
When i had my braces are fitted they hurt for about two weeks and i could only eat soup but then they got a lot better!. I had my braces tightened about once every 6 months!. This hurt for a few days but not as badly as it did when i first got the braces!.
The only advantage of braces is a) choosing the colour of the elastic bands :) and b) you cant eat foods which dye the bands like red cabage :) (perfect excuse)Www@Answer-Health@Com

its fine trust me dnt worry i have braces but im gettin mine off in july yay
all they do is glue the brackets on to your teeth first (the bit tht holds the wire)
then you get to choose the colour you want
the dentist puts in the wire and cuts some off so its the right length then tightens it
and no it doesnt hurt at all you go evry 4-6 weeks just for tightening and checking how ur getting on
u might get ulcers to begin with but they give you wax you can put on hope this helps dnt worry soon youll get straight teeth :) xxWww@Answer-Health@Com
