hey. I recently had lingual braces put on my bottom teeth and regular ones on the top.. and wow the first few days I thought I wasn't going to be able to eat anything.. its been 13 days (but who's counting) and there is virtually no pain, and i pretty much eat whatever I want just A LOT more slower and I dont ever bite with my front teeth. I'm not really sure if that is such a good idea though because i figure they need to continue to be used. I am just scared to break a brace. All I really do differently is use the waterpik a lot . Doc says 18months

    Good luck with your lingual braces! I've had mine for over 2 months and I am supper happy with them. The most difficult thing for me is eating and not breaking them. I try to be careful, but they are so fragile...

    I m supper happy with them though, good luck to you.

    I was terrified of breaking my braces after the bottom ones came on but everything has been ok so far. I know everyone says it but its true - you really do get used to them. I eat pretty much everything...sadly I also spend a lot more time than braceless folk in front of the mirror
