I had them for a year but they didnt send me any letters or anything so I practically wasted a year with them on, so I've another 18 months with them on and they're easy to get used to after a while, it takes around 4/5 days for the pain to go away from eating and either clean 3 times or a day or you'll get them white spots on some teeth like I stupidly did now the journey is on to try and remove them

The pain should go away after a week. Your dentist should also give you dental wax. You rub it on your cheeks to prevent you from getting mouth sores.

I was given that wax too, but I don't think anybody uses it lol, I certainly don't. I was told to put it on sharp edges on my brace but it doesn't feel right.

ok thnx guys for some reasdon repy thing would not work but now i can and it no longer hurts at all any wax is awful lol

Yeah, I had mine on for 3 years. Got them off in May.

The pain usually lasts for a few days, I got told to have some paracetamols to stop the pain. Try to avoid hard foods because that makes the pain worse.

Buy some interdental brushes also.

They should be quite comfortable now, look after them

They get you ladies

Braces were the worst two years of my life hahaha, the pain every time they were tightened, and the ulsas i would get because of the metal wire.

i ahve tightening soon i think not sure lol and im for 2 years aswell :

I just got mine taken off back in April.. That hurting feeling goes away after a week or so, so just stick to like soft foods like soup. And you will have a tighting like every 4 weeks on your wire so that feeling is going to comeback. Hope that helped and made sense
