It doesn’t hurt when you first get then on but after an hour or so it starts to hurt pretty bad for a couple days, but then it’s fine. After that every time you get them changed it will hurt a little bit but not nearly as bad as when you first get them on. The actual process doesn’t hurt at all. It’s just boring.

at the beginning, it does hurt quite a bit, but you can totally get through it!! as for foods to eat, i would say lean towards foods that require little to no chewing (maybe smoothies and soup to start out with?) a

I definitely recommend bringing chap stick to your appointments. It's not really something you'd think about, but you're lips will get pretty dry after having your mouth open while they put your braces on. I can't tell you the amount of times I had an orthodontist appointment and didn't bring any chap stick for my super dry lips, haha

It depends. For me it was a couple of weeks before I could eat steak again but for my brother it was not as bad. Also have a pain killer ready to go. Use a lot and use wax!! It is you bff.

And run your tongue over your teeth a lot because you won’t feel it again for a while 😂

The only pain I felt with mine were the first like 2 days I could only eat soft food and then after that it was fine until I got a spring put on you can eat pretty much anything with braces just be careful if you’re talking about when you get the on I suggest yogurt applesauce soup mashed potatoes macaroni but cut the noodles into pieces you don’t hav ego chew smoothies milkshakes anything you can just swallow and no because it’s not painful to get hem on it’s just a bit a glue on your teeth and doesn’t hurt at all I promise braces aren’t as bad as everyone makes them out to be

I recommend taking tylenol one hour before your appointment that way it has time to kick in by the time you need it. My teeth only hurt when I first got my braces and they only hurt on the second day and some of the third day. After that, it doesn’t really hurt. For me, I don’t experience pain after getting them adjusted, but if they have to put springs in it hurts, and sometimes I get pains in certain teeth. If I do experience soreness in my teeth, it usually only lasts for a day. If it gets really bad, just take some tylenol, eat soft food, and drink/eat cold stuff!!! 😁

Ok so you don’t get bands at the beginning. So like I’ve had my braces for almost a year, but I haven’t gotten them yet. You get them at the end of your treatment, but if your teeth shift enough on their own with just the braces, you might not need them.

1. You honestly don’t feel anything it’s just a little uncomfortable and sore after. 2. Honestly, I ate gum and anything but you probably should avoid gum, nuts, and chewy candy. You can find more information on that on yt or google or if u want more info feel free to ask me, no so if you are scared of needles like me then there is nothing to worry about. I’ve had braces once and I’m gonna get them again soon, don’t worry

I have them and they really aren’t that bad. They hurt at first tho and make it hard to eat. But after a while I forget that they are there. I actually kinda like deciding the colors and they really helped with my self esteem. I know that’s weird it usually does the opposite but I quite like mine.
