Personal experience

i got braces a while back, they hurt for about a week when i got them on (whenever i ate food) so eat soft foods. the bottom braces to me personally are the worst cause they keep scratching my mouth so i keep having to use wax a lot on it. But ya eat soft foods for about a week and i normally chew gum but on rare ocassions it can get a small part of it stuck to the braces. try to stay away from meat cause it can get stuck in your braces too.

Hey!

I JUST got braces on in November. The 3rd, to be exact.. ;P

It's only January and my braces have already made a HUGE difference in my teeth. No joke.
They didn't hurt at all when I got them on.. The worst part was putting some gooey stuff in my mouth so they could make a mold of my teeth. It was gross!
Everyone reacts differently to braces. I love them so much, haha. I hardly have any pain in my mouth and I got used to the new look and now I think I look better with them!

Ultimately, braces are really good to have and they're so worth it.

Tips:
-If you feel a wire scratching your cheek, don't use the wax. If you let your cheek toughen up, it won't hurt anymore.
-It's SO hard to eat within the first few days or so. Eat soft stuff like smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, etc.

I would write more but I feel like I could go on forever, so I might as well stop here.

hahah, hope I helped! :D

I've had braces since last August xD

Don't listen to people, when you get them on, they only hurt a little bit.
But just avoid eating hard foods, like I ate chicken the night I got them on and one popped out.
So just be careful.

Tips:
1. Use the wax!!!
2. Don't rip out anything! (I ripped out my bottom wire, and both back brackets.)
3. At lunch, I know this sounds weird but after i'm done eating I got to the bathroom and look in the mirror to see if there is anything in my braces. I hate it when I can't notice something is in there.
4. SHOW THEM OFF. When i got my braces on, I had to smile :D

MYSELFFFF. :]

I got braces the 29th of November. They hurt for about 3 days. Not that bad though. They make you look so much older and better, I can barely tell I have them. My teeth aren't that bad so I don't need them on for long. You'll probably have them on for a year and a half and it goes by so fast! GOOOOOD LUCK!!!!!

Well I'm getting them soon too so HA. Just keep your eyes on the prize. In the end you'll have wonderful teeth. And teeth are like a big thing. Like if I look at a guy and he's freakin' attractive, but he smiles and his teeth are jacked up - it throws me off a little.
Get braces, you'll be fine. Keep them clean!
