I have braces at the moment,I hate them.
The first 2 weeks you feel like you have something in your mouth that you want to swallow. Then you start to grow to them.I had them for 2 years,and hopefully I'm getting them off next year. It's hard to close your mouth with them,and you have to be careful you don't break any of the wires and stuff,or you would have to get them fixed,and trust me it's no fun. I broke like 3 things,and I had them fixed the same day,my mouth hurt like forever ):. You probably would have to get your braces fixed every "so" months,it's no fun cause your mouth hurts like crazy. They tell you to brush your teeth 3 times a day,but how can you when you have school? My suggestion is buy these things called "Wisp",I use them in school when I'm at lunch,no toothpaste required
There's some items you can't eat:
- Gum
- Lollipops (Hard Candy)
- Apples,Pears
- Chewy Food or Candy (Airheads)
- Crunchy Chips (Doritos)
I still chew gum and eat chips,ha ha I'm bad.
They also make you wear rubber bands in your mouth,I haven't recently since I've ran out,and I only wear them at night.
