okay i'm not totally sure what you mean by Damon braces, but for me, I had braces for 6 years (two full sets) going thru the bionator, quadrilator (lol, i don't remember the name), braces and retaner.  TWO TIMES.  And ya, it hurt every time i went to the mean orthodontist.  I didn't cheat, although maybe, if u consider eating tortilla chips by sucking them until they get soft. lol.  NEVER try popcorn.  It's not worth it.  you can eat most "legal" foods if you cut it up into little pieces small enough to swallow without extensive chewing.  I have no idea what it must have done to my digestive system, but that's how i ate every time i got back from the orthodontist.  If ur going to drink pop, try drinking thru a straw.  It's better.  Nuts are prob better to stay away from.  but if u have to cheat, try cashews, since they're the softest, and remember, just be VERY careful.  If you're going to cheat, do it for the sake of some food flavor you crave, and take your time and enjoy it.  NEVER grab a handful of popcorn, etc, and chomp it down just because your friends are eating it.  Not worth it.  I don't know about wax, i used it on the wires that stuck out.  but it never stayed on.  If you have wires poking u, ask the orthodontist.  Alot of time they can fix it.\nGood luck, you'll get thru it.

hey if it's straightening your teeth, then go for it. There are also other alternatives to metal braces. There are the clear brackets, and the Invisaline (i think that's how you spell it), the clear plastic things that fit over your teeth. Talk to an orthodontist, about all of your options.\nGood luck!

I just recently got braces and the answer is NO! only when the wire gets longer in the back of your mouth does it hurt, it only happens as your teeth get straighter, and at your next appointment they can clip the wire for you. and I don't know what you all mean about getting them tightened, cause I haven't had mine tightened yet, and If I have it doesn't hurt at all,(obviously it doesn't hurt if I didn't even notice!!)You have nothing to worry about. But as your teeth straighten they will hurt a little bit, and it will be hard to eat, just take some ibuprofen, 'cause it's a muscle relaxer and it will help. So take a deep breath and breathe. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be at all. Good Luck, I hope this helped. anymore questions Email me at, jordan_smith_is_the_best_32@yahoo.com

Dont Worry everything will be fine, I have braces now and I had them before too, when I was 9. I also had a pallette expander before i had braces. What mine did it could come out and everything, but it stuck to the top of you mouth and what it does and expands the roof of your mouth so you can bite correctly. I had to take mine out when I ate.  Foods with braces that your not supposed to have are: Popcorn (Hull-less is okay), Nuts and peanut brittle, ice, Hard candy & Candied apples (What i did with hard candy i just sucked on it forever), all hard chips and cookies, Raw fruits and vegetables (hard), Gum (even sugarless)(I still chew gum, don't tell anybody!!!), Fruit roll-ups amd gummy bears, Taffy and caramels (still eat those too shhh!!), Starbursts, mike & ikes, and dots, Bit-O-Honeys, Skittles and airheads, milk duds amd sugar daddies. You don't have to follow this completely, I know i don't, but be VERY careful!!! \nTreats you can have:\nPotato Chips and corn puffs, M & M's & Reese's Pieces, KitKats & Junior mints, Nestle Crunch & Peppermint Patties, Mounds & Reese's peanut butter cups, Hershey Kisses, 3 musketeers, Ice cream, sherbert, and frozen yogurt.\nOrthodontic 'No-no's':\nLip Biting, Pushing your tongue against your appliance or braces, chewing on fingers, pencils, or pens, tearing thing with your teeth, and biting your fingernails.\nHow Braces Are Put ON:\nFirst of all they clean your teeth then the put cement on the bracets and put the bracets on each tooth. Then, the put the wire through and you've got braces.\nFlossing with braces:\nThe orthodontist will give you a threader to do this:\nYou have to take the floss thread it through the wire and between the brackets and then floss...it takes forever! but don't worry the doc will show you how.\nDo Braces Hurt:\nYes, they do. But it only lasts for the first couple of days so don't worry. I have them now (I'm 14) and I already had the before when i was 9. after the first couple of days you get used to them and you cant even feel them anymore. But the downfall, when you go to your checkup, and they tighten them....you'll go through the same thing..they will hurt again for the first couple of days..so don't worry I know alot of young kids that go through this.\nGood Luck! I hope I could help You!

Usually people have braces 1-2 yrs.  I had 1/2 braces for 2 yrs and then full braces later on for 2 yrs.  It's really not all that bad.  You can't really feel them too much and they don't hurt- they just make your teeth sore when you first get them on and each time you get them adjusted but that only lasts for a day or two and it's not unbearable pain.  You just have to eat softer foods for that day or too and maybe take some pain medicine but I rarely ever had to do that.  You will do fine with them!  Look at how many have had braces- they are doing fine!  Trust me, its NOT that bad at all and its totally worth it b/c when you get older you will have a very pretty smile!  Good luck!!

1.  If you're referring to the rubber bands, probably something you ate discolored the bands.  If you're referring to the brackets and wires - that doesn't sound right.  Check with your orthodontist.\n\n2.  Use the threader with the floss to floss your teeth.  Do the best you can and the next time you go to the orthodontist, have the technician help you.\n\nGood luck and hang in there.  It will get easier.  I'm an adult and my braces came off last week.

I had braces 3 different times.  Her are some things that works:  Cream of wheat with sugar and butter, (Its way better than Oatmeal.  I hate that crap too. Sherbet(the cold feels good) Carnation Instant Breakfast. Yogurt. Applesauce. A pancake. (Use Krusteaz complete pancake mix.) You don't even have to measure anything. Just add water till its runny and put it in an already heated pan. Lost of butter and syrup will make it soggy and easy to eat. Or, scrambled eggs, they're soft and easy too eat and the closest thing to solid food your going to get. It's real quick if you turn on the pan then crack the eggs in a bowl and mix, you can be done in 3 minutes.\nNow you have a variety of Choices! Bon apetite!! Good Luck!!

You should always get a custom mouthguard from an orthodontist, so he's the best person to ask. See if he knows what's available.

You're never too old for pretty teeth! :D\n\nMy mum had braces when she was 39.\n\nIf people judge you for your braces, then they are not genuine friends.

Hi again. \nDon't worry about your braces. They are temporary, cute, and believe it or not, they show people how strong you are. There are so many of us out there who can't take a little criticism over the way we look. You decided to expose yourself for months in order to better yourself. I applaud you. So yes... guys do like girls with braces.

The cost is generally much lower than braces, but you'll have to check with your local office.\n\nA lady I work with uses them and swears by them.  She says the change is very visable and they are comfortable and easy to use.
