Hello this is a message from someone who has has braces for a little while now (6 months) and I want you all who are getting them they really aren’t bad after a while. I’ll be honest the first few weeks I couldn’t even bite down let alone chew after getting them on but after a few weeks I slowly began eating normally again. Another thing is people describe braces as extremely painful throughout the whole process, but so far in my experience 99% of the time my mouth isn’t hurting and it only does hurt after I get them tightened. For eating, in this video it was explained that you first of all need to cut all of your food, for example a sandwich, for me personally I have never even thought of cutting a sandwich and is able to eat one just fine with my braces. I just wanted anyone reading this who’s going to get braces soon or just got there’s on it gets better as you go and this video is over exaggerating how eating food is going to be like (I recommend to just listen to your orthodontist recommendations)

Food is so difficult with braces it makes me not want to eat cause after every meal I have to floss it takes me 8 minutes to finish a chicken nugget anyone else with braces have food struggles

Seeing these comments about people relating to how difficult it is to eat is hilarious and makes me feel better about having braces and being in constant pain until it wears off

I had my braces yesterday and all I do is to swallow. I can't chew! I need to cut everything into like 1/4's of everything! Plus the steam I get and the excess wires that hurts like hell! I just grind the food with my tounge by pushing it upwards!
