I'm getting braces

I'm getting braces

I'm getting braces on four days from now. I'm kind of worried about how much it will hurt. Could somebody please tell me wether they hurt or not? I'm also going to have 2 teeth pulled if I don't magicaly lose them in the next 2 days. Braces won't effect me playing my flute, I hope. Could someone reassure me that they aren't awful?

Then you would like German breads. They are crunchy unless you ask for soft. Also, because of the hassle, no carrots.

Don't be worried, they are SUPER uncomfortable at first but it gets better and soon you pretty much forget you have them. Also: they'll tell you noy to eat all this stuff (probably) but actually you just have to be careful. Rinsing you mouth after you eat helps A LOT if you don't want people to tell you that you have stuff in your braces.

I know. (Not to be rude or anything) My braces are on and are hurting. Thanks for the rinsing idea.

Hang in there, ojie. As others have said, things will get better!
