Braces

Anywhere you buy toothpaste or floss

Ah ok, for some reason I thought you couldn’t buy it at a regular store, it had to be ordered or from the ortho. Does Walmart carry it?

They sure do! Probably any big box store, pharmacy or grocery store, too.

Honestly, for the amount of money you pay for braces, your orthodontist should be happy to give you wax. I didn't use it often, but never had to buy it

Valid point! And unlimited retainer cases!

Hey Abriana :3
I got my braces off last year so I'd just like to share some tips.

Your pain/soreness doesn't last very long (3-5 days)
When you get your teeth tightened, the pain may kick in afterwards or right then and there. I suggest you take pain medication and eat solely soft foods until the soreness goes away (3-5 days as well).

My mouth got used to the braces after a few months and sometimes I forget I have them when I go and brush my teeth or when I eat.
Some foods that got annoying were corn, bread, and meat.

Also, its common for your braces to tear up a bit of the inside of your mouth, in time it will toughen up and your skin will adjust to where the braces scratch you.

Best of luck, LB.
