Answer 1

omg thats funny i&#039;m getting mine tuesday!!!! what color rubberbands r u gonna get? oh and make sure you don&#039;t eat anything you&#039;re not supposed to because my brother just got his like a week ago and he has broken his wire twice from eating stuff hes not supposed to eat.

Answer 2

ok like an hour  b4 you go to get you braces take a pain killer and when they are on go straight to a place to eat and pig out when i got my braces they told me to do that because you won&#039;t eat much for a few days also if your braces are rubbing put dental wax where it is rubbing cut up your food in SMALL pieces for 2 weeks after you have braces and always have wax btw you will be swallowing a lot of food without chewing if you are like me avoid hard food for a week or 2 after you have your braces on also theysay you cant have carmel you can have the carmel that comes with apple dippers from mcdonalds

Answer 3

Okay, I am not sure how I can help you on line. But, just try to stay calm when they put your braces on. I personally have never had braces. But a lot of my friends have. They all say that it hurts more to have them take them off and change the colors. Just having the dentist play with them. I can&#039;t help you much more than that. I am sorry.

Answer 4

wow i am going to get brackets or something like braces to. Just answer random questions. that will calm yourself down.

Answer 5

Theres really no help I can give you.

The first time you actually get them on, they don&#039;t hurt like everyone says they do.

But have your parents give you a pain killer just in case and be sure to eat before you get them on.

Your mouth will take a few days to get used to them and sometimes you need to put wax on the backs of your brackets from the imflamation.

Good Luck

Answer 6

yes...you have no choice...but think of when the braces will be out how nice u&#039;ll luk......

Answer 7

Well, i would say expect tylenol or motrin to be your best friend for the night or the following day. I found that when i got mine, i was really sore and ended up eating soft foods for a day. Actually, when you get them adjusted you may or may not be sore every time. Not the most painful experience, just odd feeling really. I still ate all the things they told me not to and came out of braces on time. However, don&#039;t eat things that can break the brackets off. I managed that a couple times. After that all i can can is brush your teeth well, or you will have funky breath from the food rotting in your wires and such. Don&#039;t worry, it&#039;s a piece of cake. Soon you will be rocking straight wonderful teeth.

Answer 8

xxxxxxxxxxx  

Answer 10

my advise: just get used to the pain. then you wont feel any.

Answer 11

Good luck! It will be worth it. Plus it is kinda fun to get colored bands.

Answer 12

Its only scary because its a change. the only pain is when they tighten them. but you will learn to love them and it will be as if you have to give your puppy away when they take them off. look on the bright side...your teeth will be straighter AND WHITER!

Answer 13

how can we help yuo with that?

Answer 14

Ooo braces suck. Make sure to take ibuprofen or tylonal before, it won&#039;t hurt right away, but it will hurt later.

Answer 15

theyll hurt for like 1 to 2 and a half weeks it will be extremely hard to eat stuff at first but at least you wont have to ajust during school if you arnt getting them on all teeth and/or do not have rubber bands its waaaaaaaaay  better

Answer 16

its fine dw i had braces only had them for a year tho and there fine at first when you get them your teeth hurt and after a day or two it will go off till you have to go to get them tightend but there is no worry at all good luck!  

Answer 17

you should be fine. loads and loads of people have braces every year and every survives!!! i personally don&#039;t have braces but my sister got them and the only problem for her was that she found playing the flute quite hard (so she&#039;s given up until they come off) and that she can&#039;t eat some sticky sweets.  mind you, she has it worse than some because there was something wrong with her mouth to start of with so she&#039;s had to have two operations on her mouth to fix it (the braces were just there to help) so just think yourself lucky - it goes to show that there are some rare extreme cases!!

don&#039;t worry though, you&#039;ll be fine

Answer 18

Try not to cry when they rip your gums open.

Answer 19

Your teeth are definitely going to be hurting for a few days sorry. Be sure to eat soft foods like pudding, milk shakes etc.  and just take it easy. When I got braces i couldn&#039;t bite down at all because they hurt so bad it really sucked, it might be the same for you or maybe better.

Answer 20

LOL!

congrats..

dont eat apples!  ARGH I tired to against the dentists will and I broke my wire.. :P. lol I think yur teeth will hurt. You wont be able to sleep for two days and you will have dreams of teeth falling out..

Or nothing might happen at all.  :)

If the brackets start to cut into your gums just put sum wax they should of given you on.. its disgusting but it does work.

If something falls out call the orthadontist immediatley..

Just eat soup and/or pasta for the first times.. Braces are fun. :DDDD

Answer 21

Its not that scary! I remember when I got braces, I was terrified, but it was painless when they put &#039;em on. What they do is they &quot;glue&quot; the metal rectangles (brackets) on to your teeth and then insert a wire between the brackets. So easy! The pain sets in after you get home, so try to eat foods you don&#039;t need to chew for a couple of days. Try Ramen noodles; they saved my life! :-) Whatever you do, listen to what the orthodontist has to say! For example, even if one of your friends eats Starburst, DON&#039;T. Your orthodontist tells you to stay away from certain foods for a reason. Plus if you knock out a bracket or break a wire, your braces will have to stay on LONGER. Keep up with brushing and flossing, because the braces don&#039;t magically give you perfect teeth. It&#039;s up to you! Good luck, and don&#039;t freak out.

Answer 22

Just have patience, it&#039;ll be worth it in the end
