Congrats on getting braces. Let us know how it goes

Eat everything you want now...tons of chocolate, hard stuff...popcorn...lol just everything. Once you get your braces on, you will still be able to eat those things but not for a little while. Enjoy this week

I would take pictures of your mouth/teeth. That way you can show us your progress.

Looks like that's the diet from here on in.......

The thing I miss the most (and something that no one warned me about) is being able to bite into a big juicy hamburger or sandwich. I can certainly eat a hamburger now, but I have to cut it up into bite-size pieces - I can't just bite into it.

So, if you're a carnivore, you might want to have a hamburger or two. Or anything you might like to eat off the bone, like barbequed spareribs or chicken.
