Answers:
1. Make sure they cut the back wire as short as possible!
2. Don't eat ANYTHING the first day... it will hurt. Eat well before you go to have them put on and then brush your teeth really good. If you're hungry later that day, eat things that don't require you to chew.
3. Brush your teeth all the time! Otherwise when you get your braces off you will have little square stains on your teeth.
4. If they give you a retainer to wear after you get your braces off... wear it for as long as they tell you to! Otherwise, your teeth with shift and you will have gone through all of this crap for nothing!
5. If they don't offer you the special floss for braces, ask for it! It will be a lifesaver! It usually comes in baggies rather than a roll.
6. No no no no no regular gum ever! If you must chew gum... chew on some Dentine. It wont stick and it will help keep your teeth clean.
7. Advil is going to be your best friend.
8. Try not to drink coffee while you have your braces on. Those stains are harder to get off.
9. Don't eat any sticky foods. You will be sorry.
10. Tell yourself "This will all be over soon" and know that in the end you will have a beautiful smile to show for all of this pain in the .... umm... mouth =)Health Question & Answer

1. The first day you will probably not feel anything. But if you do take advil. i felt as if advil worked the best with my dental pain.
2. Ice cream on the first day helps a lot.
3. Somethings you don't want to eat : peanuts, gum(sugar free is fine)
4. FLOSS. It may seem hard at first but if you neglect to do it many problems may arise.
5. Always carry around toothpicks and water. So much gets stuck in between your braces its a good thing to carry those around so it doesn't irritate you.
6. Don't even bother with the wax.
7. Be patient. You probably wont see any signs until the 3rd week at the very earliest.
8. Confidence. Although you may think its nerdy more people are getting braces than ever so feel proud that in 1-3 years you will have perfect teeth.Health Question & Answer
