Answers:
i have had braces for 2 years!. first of all!.!.!.it doesnt hurt!.its uncomfortable because your teeth move every second of the day!. when your braces are applied your teeth are still moving only now your braces are being forced to move straight!.
ok when you get your braces the orthodontist is going to tell you how you need to take care of them!. brush 3 times a day!.!.!.after every meal!. without braces its not as big of a problem because usually the food washesd down with something to drink!. with braces the food gets caught on your teeth so brush really good!. brush for at least 2 minutes!. something to help is to find your favorite song and brush your teeth while your listening and when its over stop brushing!.
when your done brushing floss really good!. they will give you a utensil to use to slide the floss in between your braces to reach your teeth!.
also use floride!.!.!.sometimes you have to take your toothbrush and go across your teeth one more time with water because some flouride particles may stick but its nothing major!.
they usually tell you to avoid eating gum or pizza crust, corn, har candy, things like that!. i still eat pizza crust but just be careful!. when you first get them on they will tell you that from now on you have to use your fingers or a fork and they are right!. ffor the first few months you will have to use your back teeth to eat because your front ones will be sensitive!.
dont be nervous!. theres nothing to be worried about!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just brush/floss them alot!.
Foods to avoid: Hard foods and really sticky foods(ex!. taffy)
Don't be nervous it doesn't hurt so much when they put them on, but after-wards they will be sore!.
I recommend you eat before you go and take tylenol before you go also!.
Good Luck!! =)Www@Answer-Health@Com
