I get braces today :( ?!
Question: I get braces today :( !?
Well, i have an idiot of a dentist and he just realized about 3 months ago that my back teeth were growing in sideways and that i needed braces!. I really don'twant them and my teeth don't look that bad!. I'm a sophmore in high school so this is probably the worst possible time to get them -_-!. God knows how much drama people start becuase of the way you look -_-!. I get them at 12:30 today!.
Any advice on what to do before i get them & after!?
Did people make fun of you!? (i know they'll do it to me D: )
How bad does it hurt!?

Answers:
are they just for your back teeth or is it an entire set!? hopefully just for your backs!.
i've had pretty much every kind of dental procedure possible, and i have to say, as a whole, braces were by far the worst experience for me!. not because they are so painful, because truthfully they're not THAT bad after the first few weeks, but simply because the amount of time i had to wear them (2!.5 years!. guh!!)!.
as far as advice goes, eat your favorite meal before you go in, because when your braces start to tighten, your gums will be too sore to chew for a few hours!. sucks, but it does get a lot better with time!. i would definitely advice soft foods for at least the first couple days!. mashed potatoes, apple sauces, and baby foods worked great for me!. it's also a great excuse to use to get your folks to let you eat ice cream whenever you want!. :p
as far as looks go, braces aren't that bad!. in fact, i dated a girl in high school simply because i thought she looked cute with braces!. whatever you do, just make sure your teeth are clean and FOR GOD'S SAKE, when they ask what color bands you want, AVOID YELLOW AND TRANSPARENT (see through)!!! ugh!. just trust me on this!. ;)
good luck, and here's to straight teeth and girls with braces!. :)
***EDIT TO ANSWER***
GET GREY/GRAY!!!! they were definitely the least noticeable!.!.!. for me, anyway!. i felt more comfortable with that color than any other, and i pretty much ran the gammet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

before you get the braces on take advil
after take more advil and eat soft foods
people do make fun of my some times, but my friends just tease me about them but before you get all insulted make them laugh too, by making funny faces with your braces and stuff!.
they dont hurt getting them on, after its really sore, and hard to chew again!. try eating really soft foods, like mashed potatoes, jello, pudding, soup, a little bread or something
good luck, and feeel betterWww@Answer-Health@Com

No one will make fun of you for your braces, and a lot of people say they hurt, but really they dont, you get used to them after a while and sometimes you dont even notice they're on there!. Plus your teeth will look a lot after you've got them removed!. So don't worry about it :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
I got braces, but no-one seemed to care about it, I mean why would you!.
and besides if anyone ever did make fun of you or whatever just imagine how crap their teeth are, and how gorgeous yours will be, and honestly the people that put others down are just insecure little no-ones!.

I had braces my 4 years of high school and it's really not that bad!.!. i never got teased for it!.!. it's a part of life!.
It doesn't hurt to have them put on but for the first few days or week it will hurt to eat!.!. your gums will be real sore!
Also, when you go to get them tightened it will be sore again!.!. It only lasts a day or two and thats it!.!.!. plus get different color rubbers when you get them tightened!.!. make it interesting! and enjoy it!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

In a couple of years you will have then off and be very happy that you had them!. People didn't make fun of me, but my friends joked about them sometimes!. Usually they had braces too so it wasn't a thing!.
Sometimes it does hurt!. Get advil!. Make sure you have ALOT of the wax stuff to put on the sharp brackets because they will cut up your mouth when you first get them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i had my braces as an adult!. i made sure to take motrin or advil before they put them on and before every tightening!. that really helped to keep the swelling down!. make sure you get some wax for the spots that rub against the insides of your mouth and before you know it, you won't even notice them!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, I haven't got braces, and I'll never need them, but my best friends have braces!.!.!.
I don't want to scare you (lol, y say that then, huh!?) but I'll tell you anyways: the only thing negative she's said was the one time when she got rubber bands in and her mouth kept filling up with blood and she would just spit it out and five minutes later it would be filled again!.!.!. and the one time she said that yes, it hurt to get braces, but not too bad!.
And no, no one made fun of her, lots of ppl have braces!.
So, I don't think it'll hurt to bad!.!.!.
Wishing you the best of luck!

Just know that this is NOT the worst possible time to get them! I know a couple of seniors who got braces only this year and I work at a grocery store where I see plenty of adults with them!. Don't worry too much about what others think!. Many people have had them at one time or another!. I had braces put on during my 8th grade year and I can't recall what I did exactly before or after, I just remember that you have to be gentle initially!. Your teeth may be sore!. Nobody made fun of me for my braces!. Not once!. As for the pain, it must not be too terrible, as I can't remember any!. Again, don't worry!. It's not a big deal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i have a great dentist so im not sure if my experience would be the same as yours!. personally it did not hurt AT ALL for me and i had braces a few times already!. I think i might have gotten them in 5th or 6th grade im not sure!.!.!.!.but they did not hurt at all i promise you!. i just got my second set of braces off maybe 2 months ago and im in 7th grade now!. when the dentist tightens the braces it does not hurt but you may feel a tiny bit of force when he is taking them off but its all over in a matter of seconds!. nobody made fun of me at all because practically EVERYONE had them!! just be careful and brush your teeth, and maybe consider using some listerine mouth wash so you get out all the plaque in the morning and before you go to bed (but deffinately DO NOT whiten your teeth) hope that helps! and trust me you will be PERFECTLY fineWww@Answer-Health@Com
