Thanks for the responses! I wish I would’ve known about the patty trick a lot sooner!

I had braces for about 2 and a half years, you will get used to them. I have such small teeth that they practically covered my teeth. My advice is when you get them off, WEAR THE RETAINERS! I wore mine for a long time, then I slacked off..Now they don’t fit at all. 6 months will fly by!

Tiff-

Here is my best braces tip (after 2 1/2 years with them.) If your mouth gets sore after any tightening or other work on the braces, eat a peppermint patty. I swear it works! It must be something with the mint, or the chocolate! Whatever it is, it helped ease the pain.
