I'm getting braces on Tuesday and I want to know something.?!

First of all, don't panic about it, that will make it a whole lot worse. I'm not going to lie, it hurts, really bad but pain killers will do the trick. I was in your position about 2 years ago and looking back, it was definatley worth the perfect smile that I have now. Once you have braces you shouldn't eat a lot of sugary foods and drinks, if you do try to make sure that you brush after, you don't want to have to go through it all to find out when you get them off that you have permanent brown marks across your teeth. Just eat really soft foods until you think you can manage to eat something else, don't eat a lot of hard foods anyway, this can cause damage to the braces and that can really hurt. Also make sure that when you brush you do it right. Brush with a normal tooth-brush for around 3 mins first then you should have a special brush that you get from the orthodontist that looks like a pipe-cleaner to brush inbetween the brackets and under the wire, then lastly, you should use mouthwash to get rid of plaque. I know it sounds like a lot of work and it is but you have to focus on the bigger picture which is a lifetime of perfect teeth. Just stay calm and you'll be fine, good luck, I hope everything goes well x

They're no fun. They ache. I could always normally eat with them. You'll be fine. The worrying just makes it worse. They're only sore for 3 days or so afterwards. After that they won't bother you. But it'll be worth it. Just think of how purty and straight your teeth will be afterwards. :)

I got braces when I was about 13, for me they didn't hurt when I first got them put on, it was when I got them tightened every so many weeks! It hurt like a b*tch! Anyway after 2 painkillers I was fine and I just ate soup and anything soft while they were still hurting x
