Hey galfriend!!! we're in this together. im also getting braces and freakin' out.
My thirteen yr. old sis though has braces and i know from watching and hearing her complain when she first got them what to do!
So, here's the story. My sis knew she was getting braces, but she didn't know that she was going to get them THEN. And until the end was when she figured out she got braces, because she couldn't feel ANYTHING.
But, afterwards it will hurt. and you will probably need Tylenol or Motrin, but make sure you have any medicine pain-reliever thing ma bobber.
Well, that covers the "i want to know if it will hurt" topic. so the kind of foods you should eat are, soft things. (example- jello, yogurt, custards) Any drinks are allowed but i am not sure of sodas, NO GUM! but my sister eats gum any way. No steak, chicken, beef, pizza, or any other chewy things
That's that topic, and OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH EVERY DAY/DAILY!!

i used to have braces so i can help you out. yes, it will hurt, quite a bit when you first get them on. but it goes away. after that it only hurts after you get them tightened. it makes your teeth feel itchy and bothersome and they are teeth, so you cant do anything about it. but yes, you still have to brush your teeth, you might want to spend a little more time brushing because it might be harder to get food and stuff out. as for foods, you can eat anything you want. just don't scrape gum along the braces and try to keep the food from going right inside of them. you'll just have to spend more time cleaning them. but i STRONGLY advise you not to eat tootsie rolls (if you know what those are) or foods with the same texture cause it sticks so bad it can rip your braces apart.Health Question & Answer
Just don't eat anything chewy, stringy, or hard. And you're supposed to brush twice a day even if you don't have braces, so of course you would have to brush your teeth daily. It will hurt, yes, but won't really hurt while you have them on after you've experienced it for a while. The only time it'll hurt will be when you get them tightened or have some sort of complication with your braces, if you ever do.Health Question & Answer
They wont hurt to bad once they are on, but afterwards for about a week or two they will hurt super bad. You will have to brush everyday. You only have to put wax on them if they are scratching up the inside of your mouth. For food, just advoid things like Hubba-Bubba bubbly gum, jujubes, pretty much all chewy candy, also advoid really hard foods. And by the way, when you get your braces off, it will feel like your teeth are going to fall out because the tension from the braces is gone.Health Question & Answer
They hurt after they get tightened but that goes away. You can eat pretty much anything. You just can't chew gum or eat hard candy. You still need to brush your teeth everyday, which won't be too difficult with the braces. Believe me, I've had braces and they aren't that bad.Health Question & Answer
