Personally I can't wait until I get braces. I get them on the 20th
I got braces about a month ago. They hurt for the first few days but after that you get used to them. They'll cut your mouth to ribbons though when you first get them.
If it's extra metal towards the back of your mouth, you could ask the dentist to clip these off. Or, you could use wax to block the harmful metal parts, although you don't want to swallow it.
I had braces for 6 years and never bitched online about it.
I have to get them too. D:I wonder, how often do you have to get them tightened?
every month or something
