Thanks for the words of encouragement. I guess I have it lucky compared to others so I shouldn't complain.

I can understand about the comfort part.

Do the brackets have many dos and don'ts to keep them clean/keep them from staining?

Thanks for the reply Samantha! Im also a teen but im only 13, just starting my teenage years!! :D Not a problem, anything to help. People here were helpful whenI was getting braces and I am just returning the favor Anyways, I am going to prove my ortho wrong!!! I will NOT need 27 years of braces!!!...

I know that it's different for everyone and that it takes time and patience but I was just wondering, how long did it take before you started to notice changes with your teeth :D ?

I agree, flossing is not fun

Hi there, Good luck with your journey. I know there are times where you wonder why the heck you did it but in the end it is well worth it. I am almost at the end and I am happy with the results. P.S: Whatever you do to keep your teeth so white let me know! My teeth are pretty white but I want them t...

Good to hear everything is going well for you. I am a teen too (at the end of my teens, 19) and I got braces 6 months ago.

Lip Balm is a very important thing to keep around and you will need it often.

Good luck

I guess I am lucky. I only need them on my top teeth anyway (overbite) and it's not like they are the metal ones either.
