[@probablyestere9154]

I had braces for a year. Here's the real deal about them: 1. You'll smile differently. 2. Getting them put on and tightened *can* hurt, but for other people, it won't. Mine didn't hurt at all. Ever. 3. Brushing your teeth takes about twice as long *but* DO put in the effort because bacteria can get caught in between the brackets and going to the dentist is a pain 4. Nobody really cares. Just get them. They'll notice for the first couple weeks. You're still you. With or without the braces. 5. You'll get nightmares about breaking the brackets off. 6. Just because you ate what your orthodontist said not to once or twice doesnt mean you'll ruin the braces. Chill. 7. Take selfies with your braces, just do it seriously it feels bad now but just do it you'll think it's cute and just do it ok. nike

Getting braces on Friday and I honestly can't wait :D I spent 31 years with crooked teeth, I'm ready to suffer a bit for a couple of years to fix my bite and finally be able to smile freely. Bring it on, braces.

[@LeizelCosgrove]

Yes! It’s definitely worth it & the process of actually seeing your teeth shift into place is also very satisfying. My motto was also that the time is going to pass anyway so I may as well do something about my teeth. I hope everything goes well for you! 🤗🤍

[@IoanaNeamt]

Leizel Cosgrove yes, that’s one thing this pandemic made me realize, that life’s too short to keep avoiding things out of fear 😅 just go for what you want or you might regret it later

[@AikoGo]

Love this comment! I am 31 too and been insecure with my crooked teeth and finally decided to correct them. Scared of the pain though! But I need to do this as part of self care, right? 💯❤️

[@IoanaNeamt]

@@AikoGo Definitely! I'm almost 2 years into the process now and will probably get the braces off this summer. I have zero regrets, my teeth are so straight I can't even believe it, my smile has changed, I stopped grinding my teeth in my sleep, and I'm smiling a LOT more :)) So go for it and you won't regret it! I literally had almost no pain at all, and if I did, it was only for a day after an adjustment, manageable with a painkiller, and that's it. Don't be scared, it's not as bad as you think :))

1. You may get some of your teeth pulled out. 2. You may have gaps in your teeth throughout your entire time with braces. 3. You may take a couple of weeks to get used to your braces. 4. You may sound different after you get braces on. 5. You have to be prepared to get a lot of food stuck in your mouth. 6. You have to learn to chew differently. 7. You must be aware of the foods you cannot eat. 8. Eating things in small pieces is easier. 9. You can get lipstick on your braces. 10. Tightening/adjusting braces will hurt. 11. The inside of your mouth will get cuts all over. 12. Wax (prevents cuts in your mouth) will be your best friend. You will need it. 13. Nobody will care or tease you about having braces. 14. Be prepared for questions from others about your braces. 15. You may change the way you smile. 16. Flossing will be very difficult. 17. Taking care of your teeth will decrease the amount of time you have your braces. 18. Clear bands and brackets will stain. 19. Your teeth will not look as white. 20. Your teeth will make clicking sounds when you clench them. 21. You will feel like your teeth will fall out. 22. Your bite will constantly change. 23. Your face may change shape. 24. Your brackets will break. 25. You should bring lip balm with you everywhere. 26. Things may get behind schedule (ex. the amount of time you need to wear your braces). 27. It is your job to do everything in between appointments (flossing, brushing, wearing bands, etc.) 28. You can chew gum if you clean your teeth thoroughly (though you should go with what your orthodontist tells you). 29. You should bring a mirror with you to see if you have things stuck in your teeth. 30. Don’t wear makeup to your appointments. 31. You will see noticeable changes within the first few months. 32. Braces are very expensive.

[@Peonypleasures]

hey guys♡ so this is for the people who are getting braces when you go to the orthodentist don't be scared just be relax because i know how it feels having braces so it will hurt a little. some people will be overeacting about braces they will say it hurts alot so don't get it. but in real it doesnt hurt at all.♡ when you first got your braces it will hurt for 2 or 3 days so its better you start eating soup when it hurts but when it stop hurting then you can start eating soft food like rice and pasta. i've done a research on the internet as well that you can eat pizza but you should not eat the crust as it is hard. but please if you think u cant eat pizza you can eat other soft foods. and also when you go get it tightened it will hurt a little but if you stop thinking about how much will it hurt everything's going to be fine. just be relax. and also (you should not eat any crunchy foods when you have braces try to avoid crunchy foods and eat soft foods.) thank you all for reading this hope you feel better and also when you sleep at night it won't hurt and if it hurts continuously ask your othodentist to give you a medicine that will calm the pain. you can sleep peacefully.♡

Enjoyed the video! I was using charcoal toothpaste for 4 years until my dentist recommend I stopped using it, for it's abrasive properties were wearing out my tooth enamel revealing the slightly yellow layer underneath. Just something to note if you use it twice a day and intend for using it for multiple years. You can whiten your teeth to correct the colouring, but once that enamel comes off your teeth will become sensitive and you'll most likely need crowns.

Aww you’re so sweet. Getting braces really isn’t as bad of a process as everyone may think it is. I like watching progress happen, so when I’m able to witness it on myself it’s always satisfying.

It’s literally impossible to develop a lisp from braces. Braces go on the from of your teeth, they don’t interfere with your tongue in any way. Don’t worry, you’ll be just fine! Sincerely, Orthodontic Assistant for 12 years 😁

[@user-kh8vz9zr8s]

I had 4 teeth pulled out as well, two from the bottom and two from the top. I was honestly expecting a lot of pain cause everyone was like "IT'S GONNA HURT BAD!" but I actually didn't. My orthodontist gave me a local anaesthetic before pulling out my teeth, he also told me to eat the painkillers that he provided me with an hour after having my teeth pulled out (cause the drug takes time to work) and advised me to take the painkillers every 4 hours. At this point, I already have all 4 teeth pulled out and I did not experience even the slightest bit of pain. Now I just gotta wait for my gums to heal before I can get my braces on

[@lovelysinn2620]

I also got 4 teeth removed in the same spots you did. Honestly getting my wires on hurt so much worse than the teeth removal. 😂

[@kd9117]

I am 5 days in and have had a migraine everyday. I was told to expect some discomfort but it triggered a monstrous migraine. The elastics really made the headache worse. My mouth has been ok though.

[@ghoully4342]

i’m currently 7 months in, and i will say the pain does become annoying but eventually you’ll get used to the pain/annoyance the longer you have them. i’d say just make sure ur not eating too much that takes a lot of pressure to eat at the early stage because sometimes ur teeth can get irritated.

[@jessicamjornback6037]

1. I pulled 4 teeth out too awake and i didn't feel a thing, it went very good so I guess its just up to the person so don't worry too much. 3. I got used to the braces like in 2 days, I tighten the braces like every 2 months and the first 2 days always feel weird. 6. Always bring a toothbrush (: 7. You can eat whatever you want but you should not chew on big caramels cuz that can break the braces, popcorn is fine to eat. You can also eat sticky things but it might be harder to remove, I eat sticky things but I just make sure it doesn't get stuck. 8. I eat normal, you don't need to eat smaller bites. I don't eat at the back of my mouth, I just bring a toothbrush or remove the food with my tongue. 9. Ive never gotten lipstick on my braces (: 11. No need to prepare, use protection, I used flexible plastic, at least at night. I also used to bite the chin but protection helps with that too. 19. My teeth looked whiter than before braces. 25. my lips didn't change, I used more chapstick before than I did with braces. 28. yes but sometimes it gets stuck in the braces. 32. If you live in a country where its free, if u think u need braces, go to the dentist. We have it for free until the age of 18 and i waited and im probably still gonna have braces when im 18 which means that i will have to start paying for it on my own, i regret i didn't got myself in queue faster.

It's a rough thing to transition into for everyone for sure I can already tell that much one day in but it's worth it! I say get any colors that you would like too (but avoid yellow and white because they stain easily) but if you prefer something more natural go silver!! My mom said she didn't want to look "juvenile" and went with that and It blends in well with her teeth!!
