Answer 1

Hello there! I have braces and so I can tell you some things about them.

1. Braces can make your teeth sore for about a week, and then you cheeks will get sore for about a month.

2. Foods that you should not eat if you have braces are: gum, Taffy, caramel, carrots (these should be soft and small), and anything else hard or chewy.

3. Never ever pick green, ok?? Pick any color just not green. It looks like you have broccoli in you teeth.

4. No, not unless you never brush your teeth!!

5. I had to have two rounds of them. Not all people do, but I did. I am in the middle of my second and last one. Each round lasts about two and a half years.

Answer 2

It's been a long time since we last chatted. I was in your 1st grade class my name jeff. I would suggest eating stick things with braces and getting yellow or green or brown. You can eat everything, especially your fingers.

What the actual heck

Answer 3

Yes, I used to have braces!

1. It hurts when you first get them on, but the pain lessens as you have them for longer!!

2. At first, you can only eat soft foods because it might hurt otherwise. As you get used to them, you can eat more foods (but still not really hard foods or other foods bad for braces)!

3. You can't eat any sticky food that might get stuck, or food like popcorn. Also no food that is really hard because it may break your braces. The orthodontist will probably give you a paper or something similar with foods not to eat!

4. Get a color that you like! Don't get white because it may make your teeth look yellow though! The colors that I think look the nicest on teeth are green, purple, and blue!

5. At first clear bands for braces may look cool, but yes, they will get dirty and turn yellowish eventually!

6. Lastly, I had my braces for roughly 2 years! I had them from the beginning of 7th grade till the end of 8th!

I hope this helps some! Good luck with your braces!

Answer 4

I used to have braces for 11 months, from March 2021 to February 2022.

1. I don’t remember them hurting when I got them, but they do feel weird for a few days after you get them.

2. The orthodontist (where you get your braces) will probably give you a list of what not to eat. I know you can’t eat popcorn though.

3. Whatever color band you want. I got a different color each month.

4. I’ve never gotten a clear colored band before, so I don’t know.

5. I just told you. 11 months.
