Sparroweh here!
Yes, I have braces, let me tell you a bit 'bout them...
When you first get your braces, you may want to eat, SOFT & COLD things, they will hut a bit but after 5 days the pain will go away.
While brushing you teeth remember to pick INBETWEEN the brackets, or it will leave PERMANT stains!
LISTEN to what the orthodontist says! DO NOT EAT STICKY OR SWEET THINGS! YOU WILL HAVE TO GET YOUR BRACES OUT AND MAKE THEM REPLACE THEM!!!!
DO NOT mess with your braces, they will fall a p a r t...
When you have your next appointment, they will TIGHTEN your braces so after that remember to eat COLD AND SOFT THINGS!!!
Keep an ICEPACK on your jaw if it hurts on the first 5 days.
If your teeth hurt after a week, contact your orthodontist, it may be a serious problem that you need to get fixed RIGHT AWAY!!! [/size][/color] |

Take ibeprophun(spellin'?) before hand and put chapstick on before the appointment and bring some along. Also drink lots of water before hand.

No, it doesn't. They use this special kind of glue to put the brackets on. I went a few days without a wire. It's only a bit sore afterwards.

My friend has them, and she said it takes a while, but It might not because they were bad at doing hers.

Hmm...well, my mom said that my orthodontist is GREAT. So...I hope he doesn't screw up.
Knowing my luck SOMETHING bad will happen. -_- Gah, I'm chewing gum as much as possible these days, because I'm not allowed to when I get the braces, =0(((
