sol

It should be just fine sol!

Make sure you go to the toilet before your appointment and cover your lips with a generous amount of lip balm.

Make sure you're clear about how to clean your teeth, how to floss etc and what products to use. Ask questions if you're not sure about anything.

After your appointment ... keep your body well hydrated, use wax generously if any brackets rub, as the waxed area will help toughen your skin without causing sores ... a huge bonus.

Mostly ... be positive about your decision to do this. Always remember you don't have to have orthodontic treatment and you're lucky that you have this opportunity!

Good luck!

Thanks and will use the advice. It should go well but sitting for that long may get a bit annoying. lol

great advice sunny i agree with the lip balm mine are still really dry after a week of my brace!!!!!

make sure you don't come hungry - eat what you want now as the braces may leave your teeth a bit sore during the first few days. all the best.

OH YES LIP BALM! Keeping your mouth open so long without it is impossibly uncomfortable - especially when gloves are constantly rubbing against your lips. I agree with wax overload too. If you think you might need it, you definitely do. If you ignore a sore spot it will just get worse

I just got them on this morning and kinda had to figure out how to use the wax but not bad overall. Hurts to eat I cannot really chew, i got braces and spacers all at the same time, I guess they said someone forgot that for the surgery you have to be banded and so instead of getting spacers early I got them today with the braces which suck but over all don't hurt just hurts to eat.
