WOW!!.!.!. I remember those days! At first when I was getting them (grade 6) i was so excited for them!.!. Than i couldn't wait to get them off which was around feb!. of this year!.!. (grade 10) Now im wearing a retainer (grade 11) and i dunno for how long!.!. Hopefully you won't have to keep them on that long!.!. its weird because my teeth weren't even that bad!.!. and i had to keep them on for that long! but anywho!.!. At first you can't rly eat anything hard!.!. You probably won't even be able to eat your mouth will be so SORE! so sore for like 2 days!.!. I would suggest you take ADVIL! BECOME FRIENDS WITH ADVIL! but don't get addicted to advil!.!. that happened to my friend lmao!. Take it after!.!.The braces don't hurt but they push down on your teeth to glue the braces on THAT PART HURTS! And when they put the colours on!.!. OUCH! but it will go away after like 2 days but I never took advil when they did that!.!. Mayb if you take advil the pain will go away faster!. You shouldn't talk differently with them cuz i didnt!. hmm after the first couple of times you go there to get them checked your teeth will be sore!.!. but than after like a year of the appointments your teeth will get used to the pain and it won't hurt so bad!.!.

Good Luck! and I hope I didn't freak you out with the pain thing!.!.I think i may have overexagerated a little ;)



Edit: I like how my answer is like a novel and everyone else's is like 5 sentences!.!.I have way too much time on my hands !.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

After you get them, NEVER eat hard food because trust me it will hurt like crazy!. Wait until you have had the braces for a week or so!. Try to eat foods such as pasta, jello, rice, yogurt, soup, etc!.

Taking Advil is totally up to you, I would take it about 15 minutes before the procedure so that it has time to take effect!. From my experience though, the braces tend to hurt the next day worse than the day you get them!.

Make sure you brush your teeth very thoroughly, or else the exposed parts of your teeth will be discolored compared to the parts with the braces on them!. This is called staining!. The only way to fix this is professional whitening!.

Usually people don't sound different, but your lips will most likely feel tingly for a little while until you get used to the feeling!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

well the pain depends on how good your orthadontist is and ehat theyre trying to fix: overbite, crooked teeth or what!. the first couple days is kind of painful, but nothing that will stop you from wanting to chill with friends or anything!. take the advil before you get them and take it before you go to bed, because they seem to hurt the most the night that you get them!. you might wake up in a little bit of pain!. for food: the dentist should tell you that you need to be on a soft diet for those next 48 hours or something like that!. i had mashed potatoes, yogurt, yams, soup, and things along that line!. it is pretty hard to eat the first week!. but as far as talking, no you shouldnt talk any different with braces!. retainers are the things that make you talk weird!. another thing you might want to know is that you really need to brush your gums good & possibly get these special little flossing tools for when you have braces cuz its easy to get something called gengivitas!. ( idk how to spell it) good luck with the braces!! ((:Www@Answer-Health@Com

i just got my braces yesterday!.
before you go get them, take advil or excedrin or tylenol just in case they might hurt after you put them on!. Continue to take any of those every 4 hours or when they start hurting!.
My braces didn't start hurting until late night!.
There bearable i guess, but i take tylenol before they start hurting so i don't know the actual pain!.
There's comfusing brushing techniques involved, but the dentist tells you how to do that!.
and no you will not talk different, but i do because i have an expander at the roof of my mouth too, so i have a lisp :(Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had braces for 5 years, so i know a lot about them :]]
It actually doesnt hurt that much when you get them on!. Your teeth will be a little sore!. When ever i would get anything done with my braces (tighting, getting them on, off) I would take pain medication 30 min before my appointment!. I would always eat soup after getting stuff done with my braces, because it does hurt to chew things for a little!. Its not hard to talk with them at all, you get used to them very very quickly and you talk just like you did without them!. i hope this answers all of your questions!. Trust me, It really isnt that bad getting them on!. Good luck wednesday!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah you should take some pain med like advil before you go to the orthodontist!. I have had my braces on for a little over a year and i don't even notice them now anymore!. They don't hurt putting them on but your teeth will be really sore afterwards !. I ate soup and drank a lot of slim fast because that helped me feel full and made sure i wasn't just going without food!. Even though they hurt for a couple days after you get them on it will be less and less everyday =]!. And no you wont talk different it will feel a little weird at first having the brackets on your teeth but you will get used to that!. The only way you would sound funny is if you had to have an expander in!. And if your a Broncos fan then blue and orange for sure =]

smoothies are good for when you first get your braces on or you get them tightened!. don't eat any hard foods because it will really hurt!. the pain is bearable but eating is a pain and you should take advil just before you get them or just after!. you might have a small lisp at first but you'll get used to them because it definitely does feel weird at first!. and i think you should reconsider the orange and blue, i found that the clear ones were best so they don't stand out as much but thats up to youWww@Answer-Health@Com

hey!
okay i remember the braces days!.!.
okay deffinetly take advil before!. it wont be as painful!.
but seriously dont be nervous! just think of how beautiful your teeth will look afterwards!.
it is deffinelty bearable!. itll hurt, but a littl epain is expected!.
you wont talk differently when you get them, you will get used to having them and wont even remember what it was like not having them!! good luck, and your orthodontist will gladly answer any question you want to know!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i've had braces for 28 months!. (supposed to have had them for 20 months and look how that turned out)!. advil does the trick!. before i would fill up because after soup and milkshakes will be your best friend!. my orthodontist no longer uses colors and uses this door method!.!.!.!.don't ask cuz i know nothing about orthodontia!. u'll talk different for like a week!. but soon it will be back to normal!. no worries!. also the pain is bearable!. just know that whatever date the orthodontist gives u is definately not definite!. (i would know)!. so don't get ur hopes up!. wow that was depressing!. dont' worry! u'll be fine! and think of the beautiful teeth u will have afterwards! OH MY! lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

don't be nervous about getting braces!.!.!.they don't hurt for like 3-4 hours after you have had them on, they don't hurt when you get the on!.!.!.!.and your colors change every month so i would suggest doing different colors for withholds or the seasons!.!.!.!.you don't talk that differently!.!.!. and if you have to have spacers those hurt sooo much more!.!.!.brush really carefully other wise u get gross stuff on your teeth!.!.!.!. don't want thatWww@Answer-Health@Com

I got braces in may!. don't eat anything you have to bite into!. Mine didn't hurt much, but it depends on the orthodontist and the persons teeth

about the color, every month or so you can change them so dont worry too much!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would rethink the blue and orange!.!.!. you'll be wearing them for quite some time, no doubt!. I would go with the clear!.

You'll be wanting to eat softer foods for the first few days!. Yes, Advil will help!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
