Hey!!! I had my braces since last year May 2006. At first it was very uncomfortable.You're still adjusting to it.You can't speak that clearly at first.Like it creates wounds in your inner lips and cheeks(which is part of it and normal accdg. to ortho).You have difficulties eating. like start with soup or noodles or soft stuff that's easy to chow down. But sooner or later(days weeks depends) you get used to it and because in my case the metal thingy on each teeth (that holds the metal wire) are somewhat pasted on the teeth so I get to eat anything after(careful with the hard to chew food)hehe.You'd have problems if it isn't pasted on. Every month though it gets tightened up(so it slowly fixes your teeth)and the ortho replaces the colored thingy on the metal thingy on teeth(sorry don't know term). So yeah now it's a year and it's taken off and replaced with retainers(metal things to hold it up so it won't go back to it's original state)then you again adjust to it and you have not so clear speech again.You'll get used to it. That's it.Only worry about getting the pasted things off! Ouch! Advice: Don't get them if not needed and it's really expensive. Ok?

| @ Cute Kikyo: I know what you mean, I think getting the braces taken off is the worst when it comes to pain. |
