Answers:
For the first few days, avoid eating huge chunks of food. Those hard ones like cookies. (Though, I ate potato chips on the 2nd day after I got my braces =X )
Don't eat bread too, as you will have a hard time brushing your teeth after all.
You will feel uncomfortable for the first 3 to 4 days or perhaps a week. It is normal though. Candies and chocolate are strongly not recommended to be eaten when you've got your braces on. If you insist, brush you teeth thoroughly to prevent tooth decay.
If you really cannot stand the uncomfortable braces, you can place wax over it. It will also help you to get use to have braces faster. About a week plus later, you should get use to having braces on.
I've got my braces on 23rd September 2008. I've been wearing braces for 18 days and the it feels perfectly fine for me. My next appointment will be on 20th October 2008, which I'm very keen to the upcoming checkup.Health Question & Answer
