Well, I had braces, and I will tell you, even though it's already been established, the first days are the worst part. A friend of mine just recently got his, and he was pissy to everyone for like, two days afterward because he didn't want anyone to make him laugh because it hurt. The best thing is just pain meds. And if you can stand it, sucking on ice cubes.

But, then after a while, it's like they're not even there. But when you get them off your teeeth feel like, slimy, because you won't be used to not having bumpy metal on your teeth.

You do make like, really awesome bite marks on things though biggrin
