Braces...?

I'm getting braces in February. A week before I get them put on, i'm getting spacers. I was wondering how to take care of the braces and spacers, and how painful it is. and what the procedure is. Also, what colors will look good together?

Braces...?
You don't really have to take care of spacers, just don't floss in that area because it can make them fall out. If your spacers do fall out, take 2 pieces of dental floss, thread them through the spacer, and see if you can snap them back in your teeth.





Braces are going to hurt the 1st 3 days, you'll be stuck with mushy foods all day. It eventually gets less painful during the week. Make sure to floss/brush regularly... that might even make the braces come off sooner :)





Avoid sticky/hard foods when you have braces. And I think you can eat popcorn, I've done it a lot and nothing happened. Avoid gum, though.





It takes about 1 hour to put braces in, and the orthodontist will clean your teeth, cement the brackets on, then install a wire.





Pick a color that isn't white or clear, because those will stain and it'll look like you have teeth decay. Not a pretty sight, unless your teeth are white like the people in toothpaste commercials. If you do get clear/white color, then avoid tea, coffee, curry, etc.
Reply:look,, people scared me before i put my braces they said it hurt me 24 7!! i was soo freacked out but, once i put it it was fine,, well i shouldnt ly 2 you it only hurts when the change your metal and stuff cuz your teeth get 2gether and start to move witch 4 sure is gonna hurt!! but dont worry its totaly 4 the best!!! and the pain is worth a buetiful smile!!!
Reply:well braces are painful the first two weeks VERY painful and spacers well they dont really do anything so dont worry about them all you have to know about taking care of them is dont chew ice and dont eat handfuls of pop corn. And thats it also they might not tell you this once you get your braces on dont use whitning toothpaste because when you will get them off you will have little dark squares in the middle of you teeth and you dont want that. Dont worry they will tell you everything you need to know about them :)
