I got braces yesterday, and they ACHE! I had to take lots of ibuprofen (Had to use spell check for that,
) and they STILL hurt! GAAAH! I look pretty good in them, but my teeth really ache, and since the orthodontist put these two plastic thingies behind my two front teeth, I can't even chew the way I used to! On top of all that, I need elastics to "fix my crossbite" or whatever.
Jeez, how can someone put that much c*** in your mouth and you can still speak?

I can't say I envy you. But I hope it stops hurting!

Discuss braces.
Well, in a year or two, you'll have a very nice smile
My advice? Don't eat what they tell you not to eat... It makes it go a little faster
I was supposed to have them for 2 years, but I only had to have them for a little less than that!
What colors did you get?

No one can really say they envy me. But whatever! As soon as it stops hurting I can eat stuff other than ice cream and mashed potatoes!

I'll probably have to get braces in highschool. -_- I've only lost like 8 baby teeth. And I hope I get another out soon, becuase I DO NOT want my teeth pulled out like my sister.

My braces were removed a year ago!
But my teeth are not all that straight.
I had a retainer, but that blocked my adult teeth that were growing, so I don't use it anymore.

I know exactly how you feel! Lilacfuzz101's right. Don't eat what they tell you not to. It'll be worth it.
As for talking, you'll get used to it.
Good luck!

Are you shivering in 90 degrees? Can you not breath through your nose? Than you feel just like me right now.

My teeth are gross Dx I wish I had perfectly white teeth

I didnt get colors. They're cool, but all they do is give you more gunk on your teeth to brush off, and since I'm not into brushing 3-4 times a day without colors, I dont think Id like to brush with them.

I feel your pain, man. I just got my braces recently, and I don't know HOW I'm going to eat

OK, I need to rant:
I can't even CHEW anything without an uncomfortable, painful feeling in my mouth. Since I have a crossbite, my ortho-guy gave me these plastic backings that stick out horizontally on the back of my two front top teeth, and when I close my mouth, my back top and bottom molars don't touch each other. It already sucks enough that I can't eat crunchy food for the next, lile, week, but not being able to chew (without hurting myself) any food narrows it down even more! GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH I HATE THOSE PLASTIC BACKINGS!

That felt good.

Yeah, I had to have something like that so that I didn't accidentally bite down with my upper teeth on my botton brackets and break them off. THAT is a PAIN. I think I was allowed to take it out to eat though...
