Answers:
The first tip I can give you is: LISTEN TO YOUR ORTHODONTIST!. The last thing you want to do is to stuff up this opportunity- trust me, it is an opportunity!. Braces gave me a killer smile and I am eternally grateful that I had them when I was young!.
You prbably won't be able to eat very hard or chewy foods!. The whole thing about it is to try not to damage your braces or get food stuck in your teeth that your toothbrush might miss!. Stuff like popcorn and chewing gum are out!. They also say you shouldn't eat apples, but if you cut them into small pieces you should be fine!.
Tips:
* Make sure you floss daily!. This will get rid of food that is stuck in your braces and will help prevent gum disease and cavities!.
* Keep a toothbrush and paste with you all the time!. I used to have embarassing post-lunch moments when there'd be stuff stuck in my braces that only brushing could remove (sounds gross, sorry)!.
* Get yourself some tee-jel or other stuff that they use for teething babies!. Sometimes when you have braces they can cut your gums and this stuff will help numb the pain!.
* Don't eat hard toffees (the mess, pain and cavities are not worth it)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had braces back in high school, about 8 years ago and I won't lie to you!. It's not easy!. They are going to tell you about foods you cannot eat, things you cannot drink and to floss a lot!. That is the one thing I will stress to you the most!. Remember to floss while you have braces!. I didn't do it and now have inflamed gums!. It's not pretty!. But for the most part, when it is all done with, you'll be glad you did it!. You will have a great smile!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Do NOT eat pizza!. Good luck with that!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had braces for about 4 years!.
They hurt like hell!
But you get used to it!.!.!. Then it only hurts when they tighten them!.
You proberly wont feel like eating when you first get them!.!.!. But after a couple of hours it fine!.

I ate what i usualy eat with them!. Nothing got stuck!.!.
I used to chew gum with them!.!.!.

Eat stuff that you dont need to chew too much, cause your teeth will feel like there gonna fall out!.!.!. But they wont!.!.!.

Oh and remember!.!.!.!. When they get taken off, its all worth it!! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

braces do not hurt when u get them on u can eat a soft shell taco maybe not hard shell
u can eat anything almost exepp the things on the list but if they do for some reason hurt just eat soft foods iv never had any probs!.!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Just do what the orthodontist says, and the braces will come off more quickly!.
Wear the stupid rubber bands, wear the headgears, and jump through the stupid hoops!. I know, towards the end, you won't want to do it anymore, and you will be frustrated!. However, it will pay off!. Just stick with it!.
Good luck! And tell us how it went!Www@Answer-Health@Com
