Was it really that bad for you? My braces only hurt for like the first week of having them, then only a day or so every time the wire was changed. I thought it was like that for everyone. :SHT_Black said:Okay, so imagine the worst pain you can. Imagine a combination of aching, cutting, and burning beyond the limits of all the pain you've ever known. That's inside your mouth--inside your teeth--twenty-four-seven, three-sixty-five, for four years. You'll have to learn new ways of eating and talking unless you want to cut your lips to ribbons, and if you're lucky you'll only get one or two stray wires lodged inside your tongue. Your mouth will know nothing but agony and numbness, in that order, until the day you get them removed.
It'll make your smile nice and pretty, though. So who cares?
This, a million times this. For the next three years don't eat nuts or grains in any form, because trust me, getting those grains from multi-grain bread out of your braces is an excercise in unnecessary frustration and discomfort.Kaboose the Moose said:Apart form that expect a lot of food to get jammed there.
