Hi Kelsy!

I am 27 years old and I just got braces on Thursday. I sure wish I'd done it sooner!

You won't get any needles unless they are pulling teeth (I was really freaked about that). It doesn't really hurt, it was more boring than anything. I took my iPod, and they let me listen while I was getting them put on. I think that helped my nerves some too.

I took an extra strength Advil before hand, I think its a good idea. And don't be afraid to take it if you are sore (not exceeding daily limits of course).

also, sometimes the little pieces they put on your teeth can bother your cheeks. Don't wait until it gets bad before you use the wax they give you (to put over top the bothersome bits). Best to be proactive on that one.

Eat lots of soup the first couple days, and milk it for all its worth :) let everybody take care of you :) good luck!!Health Question & Answer

You don't have to worry about anything.
You'll be fine :) The pain is minimal.
Sure it feels weird at first, but you'll get used to it quickly.
Just steer clear of sticky foods such as gum and Taffy.
Relax, don't stress over nothing, and think of the future when those braces will come off and your pearly white teeth with be all straight and with fit perfectly in your mouth :)Health Question & Answer

There is nothing nicer than a perfect smile... You have nothing to worry about... You will feel a bit strange and possibly sore for a few days but you will get use to them in no time. One thing I will recommend is to always have dental wax. You can purchase it at any CVS, Walgreen's, Walmart, etc. The wax is used to protect your inner skin from the wires and/or brackets either coming loose or pocking your skin which can be quite bothersome, you place the wax over it and it won't bother anymore. Good Luck and Happy Smiles!Health Question & Answer

avoid chewing gum and toffee once you get them

If you are getting the fixed ones, then the dentist will polish your teeth, before adding all the little metal bits
