im 25 yrs old I have had my braces for a little over a month now. I only have my top braces for now will be a little while before I get bottoms ones. I have the clear ceramic on top and will have the standard silver on bottom. I am very nervous and anxious throughout this time, I feel like everyone is starring at me. I go for my first adjustment this week and I am terrified. I have not noticed any changes thus far hopefully I see some difference soon

I can guarantee you most people don't even notice you have braces.

The adjustments are not really that bad. If your teeth are sore going in, tell the tech and ortho that they hurt and which one/s are the worst so they can be extra careful with those teeth. My techs are always super careful to hold the sore teeth when they re-tie them and that sort of thing, so that they don't get moved around too suddenly.

Give it some time; I got my braces on starting in early December and despite the pain, I'm really happy I'm doing this.
