What advice is needed when getting braces?
There is lots of advice one should know about when getting braces. Perhaps the best place to find out what one should know is by talking to one's dentist. Some general advice with braces is to avoid any food that is sticky, chewy, or hard. One should expect sore teeth for several days after getting braces and having teeth loosen while wearing the braces is normal and expected and they should regain their rigidity again later.
What kind of Chinese food can you eat when you have braces?

Should you be excited about braces?
I've had my braces for almost two years.... the only reason I was ever excited about braces was that I would eventually get them off and have awesome teeth:] but BRACES suck you don't enjoy eating especially if you have rubberbands and EVERYTHING gets stuck in your teeth and by the next meal you still have food in your teeth
How long do you need braces if your conditions aren't that bad?
It can take 2-5 years. Don't worry though. I know you might have the urge to just pop in some popcorn or gum in, but gum, popcorn, caramel, all those sticky, hard things, you should best keep it out of your mouth. If your braces come loose, it will take a long time to get it fixed and it can make you have to keep your braces on longer. Then you'll just regret ever putting that into your mouth. On the other hand, if you just patiently wait for your teeth to get fixed and your braces to be taken off, you'll realize how much faster it can be. Braces can look rather cool too, so don't worry about people laughing at you. Just worry about brushing and flossing regularly. You should brush about 2-3 times night and day. Be sure to brush after every meal. Food can get stuck in between your braces. You don't want to be looking like a complete fool. Just remember how nice your teeth will look after you get your teeth fixed! :)
Is brushing your teeth once after each time you eat and flossing once every day a good routine while you have braces?
Yes, otherwise bits of food grow bacteria that rot your teeth and sugar rots your teeth. You can also get yellow marks on your teeth where your braces have been. The braces process is quicker if you have clean teeth, so it costs less if you're on a month to month plan. If you don't brush your teeth you can get bad breath, and people telling you, you have bits of food in your braces.
