I've had braces for about 8 months now. Its no where near as bad as i though it was going to be. They do hurt at first, for the first week you're teeth are sore and its best to stick to soft foods or soup. You may also need some painkillers. Every time you go back to the orthodontist to get them tightened they may feel a little sore for a couple of days or something but its not that bad. Almost everyone has them so you dont get teased anymore. The elastic comes in a variety of colours so you can have a different colour every time you go back. :D Good luck!
