For beginners: 1. Be prepared to be patient for around 2 long years ( that helps in remembering why u started, remembering u need a perfect smile) 2.Dont panic braces won't hurt at all, the things that hurt are spacers (chill, they're put for only less than a week), the excess wire ( which can be treated with wax for a night then get it cut the very next day), extractions (can easily be managed by pain killers) 3. Be prepared with a strict dental hygiene routine from day 1 itself (ortho brush, proxy brushes, dental floss, dental thread, mouthwash and ofc a mirror in case u r out... All these are ur new friends btw. Tip: Carry a small mirror and mini proxy brush with u when u r outdoors to avoid embarrassment after eating, helps in quick clean. ATB👍🏻

My orthodontist was on the phone ordering pizza while putting my braces on.

I think something everyone should know before getting their braces on is to brush their teeth before their appointment because some orthodontist do not clean before adding the glue and brackets so this is good to do so there’s no plaque just sitting for years underneath the brackets

I've had my braces for 6 months and my water flosser is one of the best things I've bought, it's so handy for getting out anything my brushes miss.

This is my second time getting braces as an adult. The first time I was 27. I was very happy with how my teeth turned out the first time. The reason why I’m getting them again is because I lost my retainer and never replaced it thinking it would be fine. I’m now 53 and have a space between my two front teeth and a couple of others. Girls and boys, always wear your retainer and if you lose it, get a new one! It’s expensive but will be more expensive to get braces again! 😢

Literally went in for a consultation today to see if I was a candidate and left with my braces on the same day 😫 wasn’t expecting things to happen this fast but I’m happy that I got them in

The first few days of me having braces was really a struggle. First was the problem about food, and it was painful and I felt a lot of discomfort. I couldn’t even bite through a marshmallow without feeling pain lol. But after a week or so, My teeth went back to its normal state and I was able to eat hard stuff again like meat and etc. If you’re one of the people who got braces but are regretting their decision (I’ve been there too haha), don’t. Cuz in the end, all the pains and discomforts are all gonna be worth it when you look in the mirror and see a beautiful smile.

I’m getting braces in 6 days and I’ve been wanting them for like 4 years and as I get older I think more and more about them and the pros and cons and this really helped

I think a good tip for getting braces is to look into the doctor you’re going to before you go. I got my braces on when I was in middle school so it was up to my parents to decide which orthodontist to send me to, they chose the cheapest one they could afford understandably, but it ended up leading to me having years of reconstructive work after the braces.

The ortho I went to spilled a lot of glue onto my teeth from my braces and after 4 years when I got them off, the ortho ended up drilling into my teeth to remove the glue and left them extremely crooked and with holes in some. After another 10 years of constant cavities and crowns from what that ortho did, I’m in my 20s with a full set of fake teeth all because my childhood orthodontist spilled some glue on my teeth :)

#1 thing to know before getting your braces: make sure to check your zipper is up. Otherwise you’ll spend the entire time on the seat with your zipper down looking like a fool.

Thank you I’m getting braces soon and I’m scared and nervous but this made me feel better so I can be prepared

After a year and 7 months of having my braces on, I am finally relieved to have gotten them 2 days ago 😌😌 I am so happy with my teeth, they process felt long and was a nightmare but in the end it was worth it 😊

I've been in braces for about 13 months now. One thing I would disagree with is when it was said that it gets easier with each passing adjustment. Nope. Some adjustments are easy, some adjustments are more uncomfortable. I was just put into class 2 Cheetah elastics and this has upped the discomfort substantially. Also, another thing I've noticed is that I can go weeks without feeling any discomfort but then a random tooth will just become really uncomfortable for about 24 hours or so. Then the pain may jump to another random tooth for 24 hours. The discomfort I feel reminds me of when a baby tooth was starting to come loose when I was a kid. You'll find yourself clenching your teeth to put pressure on the sore tooth to sort of "scratch the itch".
