alrite first off when they finally finish putting them on it is the weirest feeling ever its like having these werid things in your mouth pushing you lips out. you lips are really chapped too. You feel like you can't even shut your mouth. (learn to though because you dont want to be one of the those people with their mouths open all the time. :) ) you will probable hate them at first, i know i did. When i got my braces they put the brackets on and later added the wire it looked bad. the amount and length of pain differs for differeent people. i had extreme pain for about 5 days. i could not chew and could only eat soup. even florssing and brushing was unbelievinbly painful ( i was on vacation and had no medication) some pills will probably ease the pain. i dont know whether your orthodontist will provide you with a welcome package or not but mine did. if not a neccesary- WAXXX!!! your lips are tender and are not used to constant rubbing take a blob of wax and smush it on your tooth. itsss a lifesaver!!! it has no taste and is so smooth to your lip. After the ache and cutting of your lip you will rarely ever need wax again.Eventually you might start liking them i do. I think of them as accesories for my teeth! Right now im sporting black and orange for halloween. So dont worry you wont hate them forever. You will have to go to the orthodontist once a month and get them tigtened. dont worry it wont hurt as bad as the first time. It will probably only ache a bit for a day or two, nothing extreme. time flies by and b4 you know it they are coming off. Most people have them for 2 years but if you take care of them you can get them off in a 1 year and a half. And you will probably get a little bristol brush to stick between your teeth. thats a lifesaver too in the beginning. Eventuallyy youll be able to get it out with your tongue. And dont worry about gum it doesnt harm your braces in anyway even thought they say it does. Well thats about it good luck and dont worry b4 u kno it youll be getting them off.Health Question & Answer
They hurt about 1 hour after you leave and my speech was bad kinda sounded like daffy duck but after about a week the pain stops but the talk mess-ups stop after about 2-4 days. Eat a lot but remember to brush good before your appointment! When mine was put on it took about 1 hour. Later on they will have to tighten the wires and they hurt about half as much as they did when you first got them on! But you grow used to the treatments and braces after about 2 months. I'm going to the orthodontist on October 21 it's like my 5th monthly check-up. I got them on april 10th 2008 and i can't even feel them anymore!Health Question & Answer
Well, I use to have them, so here is what i know:
1. when you first get them, they don't hurt. The only part that hurts is when they put the metal around your back teeth. Which helps keep the braces in place. But, other than that. It's painless.
2. It's going to be hard eating chips and popcorn, because they get stuck inside of the braces.
3. Your gums are going to get cut up a lot, so make sure you put some wax on it. Everyone gets the wax when they get braces.
4. When the dentist ask you what color you want, get a dark color like red,blue. Don't get light colors like baby blue, and yellow. Because they will fade and they stain easily because of the food and drinks. But it's up to you.
5. If your a girl, make sure you always have some lip chap or lip gloss at all times. Braces really make your lips chapped and cracked.
Well, that's pretty much all. I had mine for two years, they weren't so bad. When you get them off, it's going to feel so funny!! I forgot what they feel like now. I hope I helped!!!Health Question & Answer

I have had braces for a year and a half.
I'm getting mine off soon and I can't wait.
but when you go get some cool colors, like purple and black for halloween, or purple and orange, or black and orange. When you do have your braces, brush your teeth well, twice a day. And floss them every night. I got lazy with the flossing and now my gums are all puffy, so make sure you floss. And oh yeah; enjoy your messed up teeth while you can. Before you know it you won't have them anymore, trust me. you'll miss them!

I have braces now. I've had them for a little over a year. They do hurt for a little while after you get them and you'll feel like you cant eat and that your gums and lips don't fit right but trust me in a week or so you'll be feeling normal. As time goes on you'll be able to get food out with you tongue in a snap and you'll be fine. Eat soft foods and take some Ibeprophin. GOOD LUCK!!!Health Question & Answer
