How to Live With Braces

Steps

1. Don't chew gum. So many people do it but please don't. You will get them off faster if you don't because you won't mess up your braces!
2. Take a pain-killer if they hurt.
3. Don't panic if a wire breaks! Just get a pair of nail clippers and clip the wire to where it is comfortable for your mouth. If the wire is sharp, you might want to file it down with a nail file or use orthodontic wax.
4. Keep your teeth clean! Braces aren't very attractive when they are dirty.

Tips

• If you're geting all depressed about your braces becuse you think you're not attractive, don't worry! Plenty of people have 'em, and some find them really attractive.
• Be confident when wearing them and just keep remembering that they are helping your teeth.

Warnings

• If you have a retainer do NOT take them out and put them back in all the time as this can make your othodontic treatment take longer and can make the retainer loose.
