Braces friday yea... :]?

Question

I'm getting braces this Friday, but it's before school starts.

I'm getting the ceramic braces on the top, and metal on the bottom,

but on Friday I'm only getting my top braces first.

What should I be prepared for or like...yea? hahaha :]

What should I do before I go to the orthodontist?

Should I brush, floss, or eat Tylenol or something before i go?

And what should i bring to school? And what can I eat for lunch?

Thanks so much! :D

Answer 1

brush floss, etc. and take tylenol. ur going to need it. take really soft stuff. like pudding, etc. when i got my braces on i couldn't even eat bread. so be prepared for that. it sucks but its worth it.

Answer 2

they are not that bad but aleve works better than tylenol  

Answer 3

It hurts more to get both your bottom and top braces on at the same time, but it might still hurt so be prepared.

Your orthodontist should give you wax, and that's supposed to keep the braces from poking inside your mouth.

If it hurts bad during the day, just take some pain meds or something and it will help. It hurts to eat chewy and crunchy foods, like pizza and granola bars, so stick to softer ones like yogurt.

My friend who got her braces on the top first said the pain went away after a day or two, but I got mine on at the same time and it hurt for two weeks. It's different for everybody.

Answer 4

I wouldn't ewat anything hard. Brush, floss, mouthwash. And do take Tylenol.
