 Ooooh, I've had braces.......don't worry, they're not so bad after you get used to them. I don't have them on any more now though. It feels great to have them off, but I can guarantee you will be happy about your smile after they're gone!
You need to make sure you don't have any caramels and very sticky foods, or any hard candy that could break off a bracket. Make sure you clean between brackets of your braces daily, floss a lot, and of course brush your teeth. 
The metal on your teeth might feel funny at first, but you'll get used to it very quickly. Oh, I never had this problem, but if your brackets catch on to your gums a lot and make sores, it helps to put some waxy stuff on the side of your mouth. (something to do with wax at least)  But for sure, tell your orthodontist if your brackets catch on to your gums. He/She will probably have something to help with that.
Don't worry!! To make the braces experience better, just remember what the outcome will be. A beautiful, healthy smile!!
Good luck!!  _________________ Heidi :Emma: (120)-Average Tan Dog :Sweet Raspberry: (35)- Lure/TU Sell Uber in Training; Average Red Rabbit _______________________________________ "The sun will come out, even though it may not be tomorrow!"- LaurTan For every worry under the sun there is remedy, or there is none.
