No they are not that hard to get used to and its not such a big deal,
although you have to take each of teh elastics when you eat,
YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT WITH THEM ON..
You get them for about 1-5 months, use them correctly
and you your orthodontic treatment will finish very soonHealth Question & Answer
