Answers:
Getting your braces on doesn't hurt!. After getting them they will hurt!. Fallow these instructions and you will have No pain!
Getting Braces!.
Getting your braces on doesn't hurt! It is easy but here are a few tips!.
Bring chap stick!. And before they put your cheek spreaders on put a lot of chap stick on!. Believe me it will help!. And pick light bands for your first time like: Pink, Light Blue and Tooth Color!. You don't want anything too noticeable your first time with them!.
Pain Relief!.
Okay!. Before you get braces you have to get prepared!. Ask your parents or who ever to take you to the store!. There is this stuff called Ambesol Jr!. It will save your life! Just take a little bit and put it on your finger and rub it on your gums!. Count to 10 and the pain will be gone!. Also get stuff like Tylenol and other pain relief medicines!
Eating!.
Before you get braces eat as much as you can!
These are some food items you can eat like nothing with braces: Jello, Pudding, Ice Cream, Smoothies, Bananas, Yogurt, Ice's, eggs and any other soft things that you like!. Also my personal favorite food is Chicken Noodle Soup from Panera Bread Company!. Get it in a bread bowl!. It is so good and you don't even have to chew!. My mom always gets that for me after I get my braces tightened!
Brushing Your Teeth!.
Brushing your teeth with braces is not that hard!. You just have to make sure that you get all around your brackets!. Your Ortho will give you a little tooth brush that will easily fit between your wires and get those hard to reach places!.
FLOSSING!
Now flossing with braces is a different story!. Don't try to floss with regular floss because it isn't stiff!. You are going to have to have to thread your floss through your wire and then pull it through and then thread your floss through your wire and then pull it through!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. This takes about 1 hour your first time but it will take you about 15 minutes if you get Crest Threader Floss!. It will save you life!.
If you fallow these tips and put me a best answer your braces journey will be so easy!.
Don't be afraid to ask your Orthodontist questions!. And don't be nervous!
Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Alicia posted a great answer, but I'll throw in my imput anyway!. :)
I just got mine on 9 days ago, so I know exactly what you are going to be going through!. Definitely get silver, because trust me, food WILL get stuck in your braces no matter how hard you try not to!. For the first couple of days it will hurt pretty bad, so stick with extremely soft foods like apple sauce and mashed potatoes!. That's what I lived off of for about 4 days! Now, with the exception of cutting it up and chewing slowly, I am eating everything I used to eat before!.
As for the pain, yes it will be bad for a few days!. Take advil or tylenol right before or after you leave the ortho after getting them on so they will kick in before the pain does!. I did this and it helps a lot! Also, ambesol gel you put on your teeth and gums numbs them which will also help!.
Stick it out for a few days then it won't hurt NEAR as bad anymore, and in a few weeks you will be right back to normal (until you get them tightened, then it happens all over, only for a day or two though!.)

I personally like the silver better, but silver or clear, it's personal choice!. The reason most people stay away from clear is just in case you have some sort of food particle stuck in there (b/c it's very likely to happen)!.
Before you get your braces, eat normally!. After you get your braces, eat very soft foods - ie apple sauce!. And, you may want to bring a toothbrush with you to get all the cement residue and stuff off!.
Well, "brace" yourself, because braces do hurt, a lot!. Good luck! The results will be completely worth the pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

never get clear!!!! they stain so easily and the ylook disgusting! black is the best color because it goes with everything AND it makes your teeth look whiter!. Make sure to eat really soft foods like soggy cereal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
dont get clear because when you eat something like a pop-sickle or juice or etc!. it will stain the elastic colour!. try eating mashed potatoes and pasta!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't get clear!. It will hurt but people have survived worse!. It will go away shortly after!. Noodles, rice, soup!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
