Braces?!?!?!?!?
They will definitely tell you all of that and more when you go, believe me I have braces and they don't leave anything to chance. They even show you how to brush and everything, you'll be fine. I love having braces and knowing that the more time goes by the more progress is being done. After you get the put on initially they will feel weird, and your cheeks might hurt from rubbing against the wire, but don't worry about that because a couple days later your mouth adapts and gets tougher around that area so you don't even feel it anymore. Just eat soft foods and whatever you feel like you can eat comfortably. They'll tell you all the big no-no foods, lol. It's pretty obvious stuff like gum, popcorn, hard chips. Congratulations on your braces, you're going to love it when they're off, it's so worth it.
Reply:Braces do hurt. Do you have to remove any teeth? Whether you have to remove teeth or not, you'll feel pain when the braces get tightened. Eating hard foods will be painful. You should stick with soft foods. Your doctor should give you a list of things not to do/eat with braces. You are also not supposed to chew gum because the gum can pull off the brackets. also, you're instructed to drink soda through a straw, as it can damage the braces. sometimes the wires can get loose and can stratch the inside of your mouth. the dentist provides wax for the wires if the wires get in the way.
