Not me who has to get braces soon 😭👍
😭😭😭it'll hurt the first three or four days, then it only hurts when you get them adjusted. the rubber bands don't hurt, in my experience. the retainers prob aren't supposed to hurt like they do for me, but my teeth are were really jacked up so they keep trying to return to being more not-straight than your average LGBTQ+ person😭
ok that last part made me wHEEZE
The bands hurt really bad for me, but once you get used to them its ok.
I got my braces on the day before I drove to Florida (I live in ohio so its about 24hrs of driving). I broke a bracket that second day by eating Cheez-Its too aggressively. Never pulled one off from gum, however.
I only pulled one bracket off, trying to pick my teeth. I got mine right after my thirteenth birthday! the rubber bands, to fix my overbite, didnt hurt at all. they were just kind of a nuisance to deal with.
