Hey Everyone so sorry i haven't been posting. I've been busy with school. Hope everyone is doing ok. I have a question for some people. So i am getting braces. Does anybody have any tips?? Thank You -Betawolf09

I got braces about a year ago, and boy, I was terrified! The whole process was actually a lot less painful then I thought. I'd say the whole experience is just a bit uncomfortable. A few days after I got my braces, I thought that the poking inside my mouth would never go away, and here I am now, forgetting I even have braces on. :) It may seem like the poking and uncomfortableness will never go away, but trust me, it will. I wish you the best! -footballgirl123

Woah, I haven't got my braces yet but I'll need to soon!

I completely agree....it's funny how movies or older siblings make the experience so much more dramatic than it actually is! 🤪🤪

philliesphan287

IKR??? I thought it was going to be way more painful then it really was!

techfashion0315

LOL, me too!

I don't have them but cold foods for the pain

I just got braces several months back! Everyone is different, but for me, my teeth and gums kinda hurt for about a week, but after that, it got better. It doesn’t really hurt, so don’t stress out about it!

Hello! So glad you're back! I have braces too and I have a couple of tips: 1. NEVER eat anything hard even if you think you can do it. It will break your bracket. 2. Always brush your teeth but especially your gums because your gums with gradually grow over the brackets (disgusting but true) 3. Just because it's uncomfortable the first 4 days doesn't mean it will hurt always. Like right now, I don't even feel mine. You'll get used them, and it's a lot of fun changing the band colors.

Ummmm, well I heard that you can't eat popcorn, or sticky food. That's all I know!

Hi! I’m getting my braces off soon! When you’re getting braces, it hurts for a couple days but the pain goes away. Don’t eat super chewy foods or gum, they’ll get stuck. Hope this helped a bit!

Hi everyone! If you're ever looking for a good poem to read, I would suggest "If" by Rudyard Kipling. I had to memorize the whole poem for school, but it's really good. Hope you like it! 😃
