good luck....i'm getting braces on the bottom AGAIN, cause apparently my teeth shifted.

my advice:
- make sure your dental appointment is on Thursday or Friday, so when it hurts you; you'll atleast be at home for the weekend.
- take advil/tylenol a few hours after or when you get home...cause pain doesn't ask permission before comming lol

- eating something soft the first day ..everytime you get them changed eggs, mashed potatoes, milkshakes, rice etc

- MAKE SURE YOU FLOSS, regardless of how hard it may seem
- double check your braches after lunch..don't want anything stuck in them...better to take the small tooth brush thingy with you ..everywhere you go.

tc and good luck.

oh btw, if you afraid of dentists....dw cause for the next few years you'll get soo used to them

I got braces last December and i don't follow my dentist's instructions.😆

You are not supposed to
-eat hard stuff like everyone mentioned
-eat sticky stuff like caramel, skittles etc (i eat everything)
-drink a lot of fizzy drinks (I am drinking one right now)

i followed them for abt a month then got sick of it.

But on a serious note, try to follow them things will be easier for u. I have not had any problem till now except that it hurts every time u get it tightened.
