My brother got braces recently and said the same stuff u did rn, but now he says it got way better, he can eat mostly everything and it does not hurt anymore, also if a metal from it sticks out u should go see ur dentist bc it was sticking out in my brother's braces and it hurt him so they fixed it for him. Overall just give it like a week or two

I had braces for quite a while. They'll hurt for a couple weeks until your teefies get used to them and your gums/insides of your cheeks build up "callouses." Then it's really not bad unless you get your wires or rubber bands changed. Your Ortho should be able to give you packs of wax you can put on any brackets or wires that are especially pokey. Soft foods are your best friend for now, nothing crunchy, and nothing sticky like certain candies. I'd also look into getting a Water Pik. It makes cleaning around your braces 10x easier. Good luck! -Big Sis Caly
