Aww! When I was getting my braces I had four teeth pulled the day before Halloween and my actual braces put on two days before Thanksgiving!. I was very sore on Thanksgiving but I was able to enjoy soft foods like the stuffing and green bean casserole, pies etc!. I even had turkey I just had to pull it apart and chew in the back!. You're going to be a little sore, but its only for a few days and its so worth it!. Try not to be scared, its tender but its not like childbirth or anything!. You'll be fine!. Have whatever pain reliever you normally use on hand like tylenol, motrin, etc!.

Try to get colors that match what you wear a lot, like if you wear a lot of blue get blue or alternating shades of blue, etc!. Since its almost Dec!. by then you could get red and green or one or the other!.

Best of luck, and try not to worry so much! =) Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am in the exact opposite situation!. I am getting my braces off 3 days before Thanksgiving!. I have had braces since April 2005!. So I have had them on a while!. But what you should do is use a lot of brace wax so you don't get raw lips!. So you can eat food just take some pain reliever if you still have some pain!. For me it hurt for about a week when I got them on!. But my teeth were REALLY BAD!. As far as colors go just don't get light colors or red!. Light colors make your teeth look yellow and really bad!. Red sort of looks like your gums were bleeding and the blood is stuck on the brackets!. So almost the entire time i have had braces i just have gotten solid black because it makes your teeth look white!. I hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is nothing to worry!. First when the dentist fixes them it does not hurt at all as the braces brackets are just glued to teeth!. The dentist will fix the braces and put wire in them!. This wire is the main thing as it puts pressure to move the teeth and you may feel quite a pain due to that!. However you can take care of this pain by taking a pain killer tablet!. This pain will go away in 4-5 days and it will be normal and also you will become used to braces!. Regarding eating, you will have to take soft foods and sticky foods not to be taken!.

I remember those days! They hurt the worst the first 2 days by the 3rd day you should be a little better!. I remember eating for the first time after just getting my braces, what I ended up having to do was cut all my food up and and not bite into anything!. So make sure you put your food in the back of your mouth so your molars can chew it all up!. I would avoid biting into anything at all cost!.
Stick to stuffing and mashed potatoes if really hurts when you eat!.

My husband got his in middle school the day before Thanksgiving!. He had to eat very soft things or stuff he could drink!. In my experience with braces they hurt very badly the first couple of days!. I would say just load up on the aspirin so you can enjoy the holiday meals!.

Good luck, it's totally worth it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i've got braces
and nah they didnt hurt when they were put on
but yeah they did ache a bit the night after, and eating was rather hard
i tend to eat more soft foods like soup and bread after i've had my braces tightened as they don't hurt very much and hot soup tends to sooth the teeth!. so try to eat stuff that arn't hard or sticky as sticky stuff will pull the braces off (i ate a toffee at halloween and my brace came off haha) don't get pink ones if you eat curry as they turn orange, and don't have purple if you eat curries as they turn pink lol x sorry my friend eats microwave curries and told me all this, i don't have colours so i dont have this problem, you can have more than one colour so dark blue and light blue would be a cool coodernation to choose maybe you can choose other darks with lights its all upto you they'll show you a pallet and say which ones do you want!?
good luck and btw sometimes you'll feel why do i put this pain onmyself but think at the end your going to have some beautiful straight teeth and you'll see how really worth all the pain is :]

Braces do hurt, a lot!. More than likely you won't be able to eat anything solid!. Probably just mashed potatoes and other soft foods!. They hurt for about a week at least mine did!. Colors don't really matter, just any colors that you want I guess!.Try not to let them get you down and hope you don't have a crappy Thanksgiving!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
