I am going to be getting braces over the summer of 2007. I would like to know if anyone had any tips, hints, or advice about anything about braces.
Thanks in advance. (link)

Well, for the first week or so I suggest eating soft foods; popsicles, icecream, pasta, bread, spaghetti o's =] and other soft foods. Brush your teeth every morning and every night. Also floss every or everyother night. You can get special floss just for braces. Never get white, beige, gold, or yellow elastics. It makes your teeth look yellow! I suggest getting red, black, blue, pink, green, navy blue, pretty much any color thats not really that close to a yellowish shade. Also, I suggest you dont use wax. If you do, your mouth won't get used to your braces! So if it hurts, just leave it. You WILL get used to it after a week or so. Using wax will just make your mouth used to a nice, smooth surface. Then once ur cut it healed, you take the wax off, and you get another cut. Well, I hope I helped!! If you have any questions just ask for my email and I will give it to you, I do not like to post it publicly, although I think it might be on my column. Good luck with your braces!
