Personal Experience

I as many teens use braces. Every month of so, I have o go to the orthodontist to get my braces tightened. When they tighten them they always tell you, you will feel a little pressure, but it is not a little, but a lot!! If you have worn braces or wear them you know that it hurts a lot, but if you don't wear, you can imagine how much it hurts. When I got my braces for the first time all week I ate soup, nothing else. if I even thought of biting something it would hurt. Eventually I got a bit used to it and my mother even gave me tips, if I chew gum the braces get loose and dont hurt as much and as long.
