I hope it goes well Discharge! And things are hardly ever as bad as you fear they might be. I was cr*pping myself before my appointment to get my bottom braces on, but it really wasn't that bad.
I would recommend you take a couple of painkillers before you go, and like Karen says - a toilet stop and some lip balm.
I am glad it went well. I almost forgot how the first day felt which was 7moths ago. My cousin is getting ready to soon be be braced and asked me if it hurtz. I honestly forgot the pain:-) Was the pain 1? 2 or 3 days long?:-)
Good luck!
