No.

1. Wear your rubber bands (if you get them) at least every night, they tell you that it will speed up the process of getting your braces off and I never listened to them and I ended up having braces for 4 years instead of 2.

2. Wear your retainer

3. Brush your teeth really well, your orthodontist should show you how with your new braces

4.Get used to having [censored] stuck in your teeth constantly after eating, brush or use a toothpick

5. The first week is the worst, it feels like you are chewing on metal when you eat but it gets a lot easier, also getting them tightened Isnt bad at all they may be a little sore for a day or 2 max but not as bad as the first few days you get your braces.

To OP: Good you're doing it now. I got braces in my 30s. Ouch! Still have a permanent retainer on the lowers.

If you get "regular" ones, these help:

Oh and as a general rule double the amount of time that they tell you it will take. After speaking with all my friends who have had them it appears to be the rule. Othodotists are [censored] liars.

Thanks for the words of encouragement and understanding. Luckily, I live with my g/f of 4 years and have gotten laid three times since Friday. She's glad I'm taking care of the problem.

Seriously ... double the time they say it will take? No [censored] way. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
