The first thing is your teeth/gums (feels like your teeth!) are going to be really sore. Really, really, really sore. You will need some kind of anti-inflammatory if you can take them, and very soft foot. I mean you will not even be able to bite through a peanutbutter sandwich at first without pain. That lasts several days. After that they get pretty sore for a day or so after you have them adjusted (once or twice a month). Just brush really well (at an angle, all angles of the braces) and use mouth rinses because it is very hard to floss and you probably won't do it very often. A WaterPik (or whatever the newer version is) is also very good to have. Get wax for your braces and use it wherever they rub against your mouth so you won't get ulcers. I guess that's about it, other than that they are really worth it once you get them off! Good luck
