Awe. I had braces for a very long time. You will get used to it, hon. They will hurt sometimes and you may also get tiny cuts in your mouth from them. It's not fun, but it will be worth it. Make sure to keep your teeth brushed and flossed so there is no decay under the spots where the braces are after you get them removed.

Usually a few days on up to a week or so. Chewing is good though, but try to stay with the soft stuff cause believe me your gonna feel it tomorrow. Dont be shy about the wax either, it will save you from mouth sores and salt water rinses help! Oh and invest in a waterpik....

Not sure how long the feeling will last but I know for my son sticking to mashed potatoes or soup or ice cream worked best for the first couple of days.

You will get used to them pretty soon, it usually takes a couple of weeks to be fully used to them

Give yourself about a week. Took me a week to get used to them.
