@piglyt: This first day of braces has been a challenge and I’m not equipped for this rn #braces #adultbraces #complaining #storytime #struggling

Don’t worry the broken bracket is the orthodontist fault, poor bonding and you can ask for something to help with flossing it’s like a fake needle 🪡 thing but it’s plastic and for wax just make sure the tooth area is dry or bracket pop it on there and then it should be fine because you put it on while it was dry or push it into and around your bracket it will get easier 😔 but the first week sucks next time you go in take a ibuprofen or Tylenol to help with after pain 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Brylie.🦆🦌 :

I was eating popcorn and chewing gum on day3😂

GrandmaJen🎀 :

You are hilarious 🫢 I’m going through the same thing. Just had my bottom put on a week ago and I’m 6 months into my tops. It’s going to get better 💞

livvy🝮 :

I’ve had mine for a month, to help with pain ,, eat ice scream and chew gum. the ortho told me I could and it helped so well. And idk why a bracket came off, I ate all type of hard stuff my first week and no bracket fell off

Gie ✝︎ :

I ate chicken tenders like 30 minutes after getting braces

keyonna :

Just wait till you get power chains

Veronica Colula :

I am on week 5 of invisalign and have a consult with my orthodontist tk switch to braces instead. I hate having to take out my aligners to eat. I literally have them on 23 hrs a day. And my teeth are sore ALL DAY EVERY DAY!!!!! I heard that with braces your teeth are only sore the first few days. So it sounds better than invisalign

Katie Brown :

It gets easier 😂

𝒥𝒜𝒵𝒵𝒴(＾ *)♡ :

seha_chaud :

My whole thing bracket broke without even the wire coming off with it

charlee :

For flossing get “Super floss”! It makes flossing so much easier to get between the brackets

☘︎ 𝓂𝒶𝒹ℯ𝓁𝓎𝓃 ☘︎ :

Ughh i hate the wax! Today is my first day of power chains😭😭😭 it hurts

Averyyy :

I got my braces done today at 1 PM and now it’s 11 PM and they don’t even hurt

Onyedikachi sewol ferry👉🎗️ :

Mine is in august 🤣🤣🤣 and this is going to be my 2 braces the first one was when I was 13 years old and this is the 2 one at 22 🤣🤣🤣

Carellynn :

Bro my appointment is at 7 in the morning, idk if I can wake up early enough to make breakfast but I might have to

Tiff :

I don't use wax unless I have to because after a while your cheeks and lips get used to the metal. But if it's hurting bad, use the wax. Bite blocks suck. But again, you will get used to them and they will slowly wear down some. That bracket that came off wasn't placed well. It happens. EAT and enjoy. You will get used to that too and chewing will get back to feeling normal. If you can, get a water flosser. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE these Grin flossers for braces. Hang in there. It gets better.

⭐️mber :

Genuinely so real. (That was my first day with them) I’ve had them for about a week now
