Aww, i remember when i got my braces, got them last year the 17th of August lol still remember and i'm getting them taken off in 4 weeks time YAY then i get a retainer -.- so i would have had my brace for about a year.

Also i 1st got my brace, it kained, my mouth hurt, and i couldn't eat properally and i constantly had a headache, i didn't take any tablets though lol and i just stuck through it and it's hard to eat i would say for the 1st week but it'll get so much better don't worry in 2 weeks time you will barley notice it's even there.

So just bare the headaches and the pain and it should get better ^.^

I had mine taken off over a year ago now and at the time i was a little annoyed having to wear them ( i had them on almost 2 years!!!) but the day i got them taken off was soooo amazing, its one of the best things you can do. Seeing these big, pearly straight teeth gives you the best smile :-) It doesnt hurt actually having braces put on or taken off. The only thing which hurts is the soreness you described after having braces put on which lasts a day or two. When you have the brace altered every 6 weeks or so, that can sometimes feel the a little uncomfotable too (but they often only alter a tiny part at a time so you can still eat like normal on the other side).

My advice: (hehehe i like being an agony aunt)
- take paracetamol and a bottle of water with you to the dentist for after they've tightened it.
- i used to cut up my food into small pieces and eat soft food like pasta when it was sore.
- always remember how fabulous they're going to look once its over, it might seem annyoing for the next year or so, but you'll have great teeth for the rest of your life :-)

Hey i have had braces now for 3 years o.O yeh ne ways to tell you the the truth I heard that putting rum on your gums and teeth just rub some on really helps.. they do that sometimes to babies that are teething... yeh ne ways the pain lasted me about a week er so it gets less n less everyday... for the first couple times u get them tightened you are going to have a rough time. This is because you just got the on and your teeth are still getting used to them and when u get them tightened yur teeth move and stuff and it hurts just take some advil er something... it should help... also a good idea for the first few days and when your teeth are hurting is to eat soft things and stuff like soup and jellow because you dont want your teeth to move anymore and mess up what the braces are doing.. just while your gums are still sore and everything.. well Good Luck!!

does that help ne??
