advice

i didnt kno wut category to put this in but o well....ok i JUST got braces and they feel really weird and i cant bite down all the way. I wanted to kno if any noe could give me some advice about braces....pls help thx! ;)

Well I had braces so I know you're feeling a bit uncomfortable. There *IS* some stuff to help you ease the pain though. Your orthadontist should have given you some wax to put on the sharp spots. If not, make sure you request it on your next visit, it's a LIFESAVER! Another thing is to stick to smooth foods. It may be tempting to have something crunchy & delicious but I reccomend yogurt, mashed potatoes, ice cream, jamba juice, starbucks etc. Another thing is to take Advil or any kind of Asprin. Check with your parents or an adult to see what kind of medicine will temporarily ease the pain. Good luck! I know it's hard now but you have a great smile to look forward to!
