yes indeed i wear braces. and indeed they stink. people say u cant eat thing like gum and popcorn and stuff like tht, but really it depends on your orthodontist. u can eat sugarless gum, because otherwise it gets stuck in your braces, and popcorn is okay it just gets kinda uncomfortable after u eat it since it's like under a wire of something. and they do hurt after u get them tightend SOMETIMES. they dont always hurt. they just feel really sore sometimes, and it will last at most 4-5 days. but other times they will have a sharp spot on the wire of a metal peg sticking out of it and it will poke the heck out of your gums, so u will have to put some wax on it (the ortho should give it to u along with a whole kit once u get them on) u do not want to get white of yellow, because it will make your teeth look yellow and gross. trust me. i dont think black makes them look ugly though. i got mine on a little over 1 and 1/2 years ago, and i SHOULD get them off in august *squeals* unfortunately though, i have to get some "mouth surgery". and i have one tooth that hasnt come in yet, so they took an xray, blah de blah, its doing the wrong way, blah de blah. and apparently its not in the gums above all of my teeth, its like in the roof of my mouth! FUN!!! so they are going to have to cute a square out of my gums, attach a bracket (glued piece of metal) to my tooth with a chain, and some how pull it back to where its supposed to be. not trying to scare you, BUT ITS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU!!!
