Braces Advice/Experiences

    Hi All,

    There's probably already a thread about this but i couldn't find one that seems to be still active or recent.

    This is just for people to seek advice and share their stories about braces.

    A few months ago I decided to finally to get braces and have the smile I have always wanted after years of contemplating it!

    Today I got my top brace on and tomorrow I will be getting the bottom brace on.

    I am already starting to feel alot of pain from the top brace quite uncomfortable - like a pressure pain or bad tootache in numerous teeth. Found it hard to even eat soft foods today as touching the bottom of my teeth is quite tender. It was also very sore to brush my teeth as they were so sensitive to touch. Is this normal for day 1?

    Has anyone any tips or recommendations for my first few days/weeks that could help?
