i have braces right now, they might be a little sore the first day or two (they diudnt for me), but not really bad, ask your orthodontist for something that might help ease any pain.  you'll probably have trouble cewing for thefirst day or two also, just because your mouth is getting used to getting bigger.  occupy yourself the best you can for the days following so you dont have time to think about it.  if you have any questions or problems with your braces IM me or e-mail me id be happy to help

Well, first off I would highly recommend a water pic to keep your teeth and gums as clean as possible.  Then when you brush your teeth use a whitening toothpaste or even use plain baking soda from the kitchen.  It will help.\nAfter your braces come off you can get the real whitening strips to make that perfect smile sparkle !

Try anchovies. That's like eating an eyebrow...\n\nMaybe with some lettuce and Parmesan?\n-SD-

Just about anything that's not extremely gooey or sticky. And nothing to hard or your brackets will comes off, the dentist will give you a list but soem stuff on thier such as gum won't hurt anything. ;)

Why are u against braces? U can do invislign which is technically braces but not metal, they are simpy clear retainers that u were all day, and every 2 or 3 weeks u get a new set to move you teeth. Or u could see if they can just use a retainer.

I had braces, and for the first few days your mouth is sore, but it goes away. You should eat soft foods that don't require much chewing. If you get your braces tightened it will also hurt a bit. But your mouth may be used to everything because you already have spacers. It's different for everyone. Good luck!

You can always get clear braces (I know a few adults who have them and you can't tell they have braces unless you really look).  It can never hurt to boost your self-esteem, so if you feel it will then go for it!  It's nice that your husband loves you just the way you are though!

I work for a dentist the best thing to do is just keep your teeth brushed good. If you use any thing to make them white you will have two diffrent shades when you have the braces removed.

Yes, your mouth is going to be sore after getting braces placed.  Your mouth will also be sore every time you go to the orthodontist to have them tightened, which is usually once a month.  An hour or so before every orthodontist visit, take 800 mg of Ibuprophen which will help with the discomfort.  Take it again about 8 hours after seeing the dentist.  Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Braces are very cute- but can be uncomfortable at first.  They improve teeth very greatly, and straighten them.

I had braces 3 different times.  Her are some things that works:  Cream of wheat with sugar and butter, (Its way better than Oatmeal.  I hate that crap too. Sherbet(the cold feels good) Carnation Instant Breakfast. Yogurt. Applesauce. A pancake. (Use Krusteaz complete pancake mix.) You don't even have to measure anything. Just add water till its runny and put it in an already heated pan. Lost of butter and syrup will make it soggy and easy to eat. Or, scrambled eggs, they're soft and easy too eat and the closest thing to solid food your going to get. It's real quick if you turn on the pan then crack the eggs in a bowl and mix, you can be done in 3 minutes.\nNow you have a variety of Choices! Bon apetite!! Good Luck!!

You are not suppose to wear your head gear while your eating.  The rubber bands help your teeth to become more straighter.  It is difficult to eat with your rubber bands too.  I had braces for two years, the ortho told me not to eat with my rubber bands or with the head gear on.  You only wear them to sleep or if your not eating food.

first go to your doctor and explain your situation. if he is listening he will send you to a prosthetics store for your brace.

I would imagine you could eat chicken steak especially if you cut small bites and place in the back of the mouth where teeth are that won't show any way, same with bacon.   Stay away from any drinks except water because you can;t control whre it goes like you can a piece of food. Just be sure to chew only in the back of your mouth. also try clear colored jello
