They told me I would have braces for only two years and it ended up being three years. The rubber bands will make your mouth sore as hell for the first few days, yeah ibuprofen, then you'll get used to them and you won't even know they are the there. You'll adjust.
You must be excited! and you'll have perfect teeth too!
yeah...my teeth never looked problematic...they have no gaps and aren't crooked or something...but apparently not perfect enough and the nurse said mine was an "easy case" so..*shrugs*
whatever is this Ibuprofen?
i haven't taken any painkillers...yet. but its just the second day now.
and i can't eat! or chew! every teeth of mine is achey and my gums are sore.my tummy hungersand i've been living on soup.
note to all: don't take chewing and biting for granted!
yeah...i just hope the pain is worth the smile when they come off.
Well well punkyherm I got braces too. When they put them on they hurt but you'll get use to them later on! It hurts cuz it feels like the orthondonist is pushing your teeth into your mouth.
I suffered that pain millions of times but I managed to outlast it.
I have to where them for two years. I got like 6 more months to go!!! My appetite for food has grown also. I don't know the deal about that but.............
All for the better its going to come out just fine!!
Hamburger the day i got mine in, was ill advised because i woke up feeling like i had been punched in the mouth several times.
My braces were also self tightening so it was always sore.
Elastic bands were no fun either, constantly felt like your teeth might be pulled out for the first few days.
Also, once you do get them off wear your retainers!
I almost had to get re-equipped with the hardware cause i didn't wear them

I had braces, when I got them I had to have 2 injections in my mouth. Stay away from hard food, else the wire breaks/comes loose then you have to go to the dentist as soon as possible and that isn't nice. I also got wax so that the skin inside my mouth could get some relief from the scraping of the braces. Don't worry the pain soon goes away and you get used to them - well I did anyway, it only hurts when the braces get tightened but that also goes away.
