I got braces today... D: - Comments

I had braces for 2 years and I still remember the day they were put on! Ugh, i hated it! and every time i think of it, i get this weird taste in my mouth. I dunno about you, but when i did get them, there was this disgusting taste of, like, iron or something. :P ew
But anyway, i took lots of pills but got tired of it so i tried some other stuff...
1. i ate LOTS of cold things, like ice cream. I know it hurts at first but it works.
2. it's stupid but my orthodontist told me to get one of those bite things that babies chew on when they're teething. Chew on it and the pain lets up. (i had one that u could freeze and it worked WONDERS)
3. applesauce. idk y but it worked. just like swoosh it in-between your teeth XD
4. put pressure on them by biting down a lot. the pain is bad for like a few minutes then it gets so much better.
i hope that helped!! :P
i had mine for 2 years and had an expander in the roof of my mouth for a year b4 that.
like i said, i remember the day i got them on
but i also remember the day i got them off. Trust me, it'll be worth it! i look at my pics now and i'm like "Wow!" XD
good luck and have fun!
they're not so bad!♥

eeesh. I used to have braces
sorry i cant think of anything that i did to get rid of the pain except for taking paracetamol
