Definitely prepare for the tight pain and all the cuts that will be in your mouth! The first day I got my braces I wasn't use to them so they scraped against my lips and cheeks haha! :)

Don't be worried if you have regrets. A lot of us did. When braces first go on and they feel so big and uncomfortable! It won't last, as soon as you start seeing movement you'll be so glad you did it!

I agree with Starfish! You may have buyer's remorse at first, but remember our words: IT WILL PASS! Another piece of advice for the 1st month: be patient. I checked my teeth every chance I got, and would get discouraged by the lack of movement. I didn't really start seeing any significant change until after my first adjustment, when they bumped my wire up a size. Since then, I have been loving it! Every day I am seeing or feeling something different and noticing encouraging progress.

Good luck to you, and keep us posted!!!!

Eat! While I still eat mostly everything I did before I miss biting. I cut or tear all of my food apart.

Eat popcorn, sticky caramels, corn on the cob, and whole apples. Chew gum.

Treat yourself to one of your fav burgers, & savour the experience of being able to bite into it - yummmm :-) Burgers just don't taste the same when you have to cut them up :-(
