7 years of bracesWww@Answer-Health@Com

1) Take advil (or something to help the pain) before you get them on
2) Take Advil (or something to help the pain) before every appointment
3) Get wax to put on them so they don't cut up your gums
4) Swish with saltwater if your gums get cut
5) Swish with water after meals to help get food out
6) Floss a few teeth each day or every other day so you don't waist your whole evening doing it one night and so your gums don't get too inflamed

Hope I could help and all of these tips do work!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

1: keep lots of popsicles in the house
2: ice cubes
3: advil or pain meds
4: avoid hard foods or apples for at least a week
5: use the wax they give you to put over the braces to protect the inside of your mouth from being cut
6: relax, you will still look awesome with them on and just think how great you will look after them!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Had braces for 3 yearsWww@Answer-Health@Com

1!. take 2 advil before you go
2!. take 2 more advil after you get home (trust me- it's going to hurt)

3!. ask your mom to make mashed potatos and other soft foods for dinner
4!. get to know some good soft foods, lasagna, soups, ice cream, etc!.!.!. you are going to be needing them

5!. if the dentist offers to give you wax - take it!. roll a tiny ball into little strips and press it on top of the wire!. this will stop the metal from cutting into your face

6!. carry a tooth brush and a mini tooth paste with you in your purse for ever- food gets trapped in there so easily!

7!. have fun with your braces and get some fun colors

8!. always make your appts!.!.!. the faster they change wires, the faster they will move

9!. rubber bands are the devil

10!. always wear your retainer or else you'll be like me and have to go thru it again in your 20's!Www@Answer-Health@Com

1!. The first day you will probably not feel anything!. But if you do take advil!. i felt as if advil worked the best with my dental pain!.

2!. Ice cream on the first day helps a lot!.

3!. Somethings you don't want to eat : peanuts, gum(sugar free is fine)

4!. FLOSS!. It may seem hard at first but if you neglect to do it many problems may arise!.
