Hey! I got braces 2 hrs ago and for the record, it didn't hurt for me! Well, not yet, anyway!
You're espceially not allowed to eat hard candy, chewing gum or hard foods like a whole apple (u need to have it cut up into little pieces.
My orthodontist gave me a brushing care pack. It contained wax, floss, those little "under the wire" toothbrush things, toothpaste and a toothbrush. You should get that stuff, if he doesn't give it to you. also, rinse your mouth with a Flouride mouthwash, which will prevent germs and bad breath.
also, wear chapstick on your lips before the appointment because the lip stretchers make them chap!
Good luck!Health Question & Answer

basically within the span of having your braces you'll realize what you can and cannot eat. my favourite candies are milk dud caramels and i couldnt eat those or caramel apples whatsoever but i could prettymuch eat anything else i wanted. some things will get easier as it goes, as well. it's really different with every person.
you should get a pack of those proxi mini brushes or a toothbrush and small toothpaste to take with you in your purse, and maybe mouthwash. i used to swish it constantly to get little food bits out and keep my mouth feeling fresh.
and make sure you brush like crazy and all that, i never once flossed while i had them and my teeth are perfect, so just roll with whatever happens because it will probably be different for you.
enjoy them, they're extremely satisfying, seeing as you can see each step as your teeth become flawless. (:Health Question & Answer

Watch out for hard foods. I remember having some of my braces break off when I tried eating an apple, and a very crispy pie. So yeah, just be very, very careful when eating hard items.
Your dentist ought to tell you to buy a special type of floss (the type you can thread through the gaps in your teeth), which should provide a thorough flossing.
