Braces.

I'm getting my brace in next year the Dentist predicts. I'm a tad worried about it cause I need to get two fillings which tbh aren't that sore, 2 teeth out, my mum just got some of hers out and she has got a mouth infection now and I'm worried that will happen to me "/ and then the brace D: I can't handle pain that's why I'm worried about it. I think I might start cry infront of the hot Orthodontist

k, getting them on doesn't hurt at all. It's painless, nothing like any bad experience you've had at a dentist. After that, being truthful, they do hurt. The pain is bad but you have to accept that it will go away quickly enough and you don't have to deal with it so long as you stick to soups and yogurt for a couple days. Getting 2 teeth out is nothing to worry about, I know a guy who had to get 8 out, and me personally, I needed 5 out. The dentist can do all sorts if you're nervous, the most common one is Nitrous Oxide, you don't go unconcious but basically you just get high (it's proper good ) and then when they take your teeth out, it doesn't bother you.
The most annoying parts about it are;

The period AFTER you get teeth out where your mouth is a tad raw and you produce endless streams of saliva

The discomfort from the braces for a couple days after they go in. Bare in mind this will turn into frustration more than anything else when you just want to eat something but can't because of the pain. When I got my braces tightened (same pain for less time) I really wanted to eat some of those stupid Oaties biscuits so I did, I just bared the pain and ate them lmao.

You can eat toffee lol, I do.

And for me it really didn't hurt AT ALL having them fitted, I didn't even realise he was fitting them.

Tut tut at you. Toffee is, I think, the one thing they strongly suggest you don't eat. You're such a rebel! lol

Well what harm can it do?? As long as you brush your teeth well afterwards...

Mine are silver. They only break if you have teeth that are growing, otherwise they are fine.

I think they say that it can actually break your braces. Like the stickyness of it could pull bits off the train tracks? *shrug*
