Yeah... you know what the Halloween fake-vampire-teeth feel like when you wear them? It makes your mouth feel weird and your teeth feel huge and you spit when you talk, right? Imagine the Halloween vampire teeth-- only twice as thick, and METAL, and they poke-poke-poke the inside of your mouth until you get SCARS!
...Multiply that times two, and you've got what braces feel like. ^_^
I got them the day before school started this year (me ish a freshman)... and I'm supposed to get them off sometime before my junior year. -____- I know people who had braces for like four years... O_o
Braces arent that bad!
I hav had my braces on for about a week. They hurt bad for the first three day but they calmed down! !Ignore the list of food that the orthadonists tell ya that u cant eat! u can! Just one thing dont try and eat apples whole, cut them up, otherwise u will break your brace!
Dont worry! It will be worth it in the end!

if oyu notice they also change your facial structure around the mouth, depending on its shape you could be pouting all the time, but braces are no biggy really i had 4 years of it tightening every month was annoying, then they gave me the plastic caps when they got removed, i hadnt touched them since, but my teeth look fine
i had braces from 7th to 9th grade (i'm in 12th now), it sucked majorly... i was given the list of foods, and obeyed if for about 2 months, then i cracked and ate everything i wasn't supposed to at my friends; houses. i now have a retainer that is currently mia...
my advice, learn to lie, have your friends buy gum for you and... Have Fun!
(note the sarcasm)

Like Soft drink, and anything chewy. They will tell u. But don't always listen to them...lol. Beware of eating whole apples, because it can break off the brackets. try and cut them in pieces or something.
