I made it through my first day of work with braces! everyone was really supportive! Still on the soft foods.

so what about flossing?
did you guys floss when you first got them on! it kills! my husband saw this electric flosser on tv.

Im a newbie! Looking at my smile you could hardly tell..but over the years dentists would mention braces. You should always have more than one opinion on any procedure and anything that is an investment! As far as the costs..there are always payment plans. Health is number one! That is why I did it....

Thanks for the advice so far!
mac&cheese has been my friend!
I tried to floss last night and it hurt so bad!
do i wait until it stops hurting or just suck it up and do it?!

thanks guys. the orthodontist said 15-18 months!
how do i get one of those trackers that you guys have?
sorry to sound like a baby!
my husband thinks its cute!! im scared to go in public again!

I just got my braces on yesterday afternoon and it didnt hurt
Today I feel some pressure! I am starving and can barely eat! How long should this last! I am currently regreting just because I feel like I look horrible and I can not eat:(
