Information on braces please?

Question

well next friday i am getting my braces put on.

I had spacers put in yesterday (four on the bottom teeth and four on the top)

and zomg they didnt hurt when they where put on, but since yesterday afternoon its been hurting,

i can barely chew and have to keep my jaw open.

But i really do have a low pain threshold LOL.

so, im 14.

any advice on what foods i can eat etc when my braces are put on?

it will really help me.

also, any methods of ways to clean my teeth or whatever?

haha thankyou

Answer 1

ok.. the spacers hurt a lotttttttt worse then braces... i say eat jello and milkshakes icecream and really soft food. wen u get ur braces on u cant eat chips, (pringles are alright) nuts, raw fruits and vegetables, cant chew gum or pencils or pens..if u like to bite ur nails.. its very hard to do so with braces. and to lean them use the little brushes tht look like toilet brushes.. they will help. good luck :))
