for food, potato chips and corn on the cob aren't recommended for braces. (i think that's it)

The hurt for the first few days(Like the first week), so It best to take medicine b4 the pain starts

And when they stop hurting you can eat SOME hard stuff on the back teeth :thumbsup:

I got mine last month so Idk abt the tighten thing and if it hurts (Im getting mine tighten next month)

im a bit knew to braces, but yes, the foods i was told not to eat are foods like raw vegetables, popcorn, gum, pizza (because of the hard crust) and basically any hard foods.

and from my experience, braces only hurt for about two days after you get them on (i haven't gotten my braces tighten yet, but i assume that will hurt for 2 days as well)
