Not really. Braces aren't a big deal. Just keep them clean, and be sure to go back to the dentist as often as they ask you to to get the bands replaced. If you don't, they will ';rot'; and snap, leaving the wire moving all over the tooth uncomfortably. If that ever happens for any reason, you can temporarily replace it with thread. But hopefully it won't come to that.
And if you have any teeth which are REALLY out of alignment (I had a tooth which was extremely crooked and back in my mouth) discuss with them if it would be better to wait to put a wire on it. I had (and still have) a tooth by the side of my two front teeth that is pointing backward and the dentist said well, let's just put a lot of extra cement on it. The bracket popped off as we were driving home. Holy hell was that ever painful.
But unless one or more of your teeth is EXTREMELY out of alignment that should not even factor in. It's otherwise painless and even a bit fun to have braces. It gives your tongue a fun toy to play with. :D
Keep them brushed!I'm getting my braces in 1 hour' any advice,tips?
Eat soft food or liquids (soup, mushie veggies, well cooked meat) for the first few days.
Keep you teeth clean (avoid all forms of sugar!) and carry the christmas tree tool with you when you go out.
Use oral gel for cuts on the inside of your cheek.
I'm soon getting braces and Ive been told to chew sugar free gum right after I get the braces put on to avoid pain the next morning.
Hope this helps
take some advil before you go so you wont be in as much pain later. good luck
