first of all
CALM DOWN!!!
i hate the dentist and all that business too.
i bring my mp3 player or cd player and ask the if i can listen to music while they are cleaning tightening drilling or whatever. they always say its ok. so when you get braces the process is uncomfortable at best. it takes a while and you have to deal with tightening and stuff. right after you get them your mouth will be really sore its kind of painfull to eat so stick with liquids and yogurt and soft stuff. after about a week your mouth feela normal except you have braces and your jaw will be a little stiff. then theres the tightening. after you get them tightened they will be sore all over again but that process is quick and by that time youll be an expert on the mouth pain thing. you might have to use headgear or rubber bands. if you do USE THEM! they speed up the straightening process alot. after you get your braces off it feels so good! your teeth feel smooth and your jaw feels really loose.
so anyway this was kind of long but i hope i helped!
good luck and dont worry!
