[seoriverse]

any braces veterans have advice on what i should and should not do while having braces? or tips to make it as painless as possible 😓​

dont chew ice if that's your thing x.x
dont chew anything tough or tacky x.x
You're gonna get sores eventually x.x so just gotta deal with them unfortunately. The little wax things they give you to put ontop of the braces do help. (for me they got annoying and i gave up on them)

Go back to your ortho if the wire protrudes in the back of your cheek and keeps poking you. They need to cut it more. Don't listen to them if they tell you to just put the wax there. Get it fixed asap <.< otherwise theyre assholess for making you wait till the followup appointment.

Brush in between every meal and snack <.<

Depending on the color bands you get, avoid any foods that could stain or else yours bands will stain, if you're self conscious about that.

Your head may hurt because of the pressure. If you take pain killers, try not to rely on them too often when you get then tightened.
Cold liquids can help ease your gums if your teeth arent sensitive to cold things.

yes, i have had braces for almost three years now, and i'm getting them off in 2 days, i'm so excited, my teeth look so good!
but anyway, yes, it will hurt for a few days when you first get them, but as time passes by, your teeth will get used to the wires and they will stop hurting until you get your wires adjusted at the next visit.
when you get your braces on, they usually give you a little plastic thing that has some wax in it, and you use the wax for when your wires start poking your mouth a little bit. you have to brush your teeth after every meal, and whenever you consume something sugary like soda or candy, always rinse your mouth out with lukewarm water afterwards. try not to eat foods that can break your wires or brackets, like caramel or chewy and super hard foods like hard candy or popcorn, because that stuff can break your wires and brackets and they are hell to clean out because the wires are blocking your teeth. that's pretty much all i can tell you, because once you get them on, your orthodontist will basically give you a paper that has a bunch of directions on how to take care of your teeth and braces, and they will demonstrate how to brush your teeth a certain way and other stuff. the fun part about getting braces is that every time you go to get your braces adjusted, you get to pick a new color of elastics, and after 2 or so years, your teeth will look really good.
