I just got my braces put on today...how much longer will the awkward taste of cement last in my mouth??

Congrats

. I only tasted it for a few days. Brushing my teeth and tongue helped a whole lot.

Definitely brush and use mouthwash!

Yay congratulations

I couldn't taste the cement, but I did notice I had a weird dry mouth for about a week.

The etch stuff tasted VILE! Lots of mouthwash and sugar-free mints got rid of the taste eventually!
