Yeah! Also, advice from someone who had braces for almost three years:
I know it's a pain in the butt, but keep up with the crazy hygiene stuff.
Listen to your mouth, don't try to eat a bunch of hard things if it's hurting.
It's okay to vent about it:)
Have fun! Don't be embarrassed or anything about them! Braces can be fun:)
Lol, you don't really have to take any of this, but just my two cents:)
