Personal experience: It took almost a month from the check-up to wearing braces. I began to get used to the "steel teeth" in my mouth. My teeth were sore and the brackets would scratch my mouth. During that period, my mouth became even more protruding.
Even uglier.
After wearing braces, except for eating hard food, I still eat all kinds of vegetables and rice normally, but I need to brush my teeth three times a day, otherwise the brackets will be full of food, which will be very uncomfortable (metal self-locking bracket correction)
.
I also lost a bracket once. I guess I accidentally dropped it when I was eating. I swallowed it in my stomach. I was so frightened that I quickly asked the doctor. The doctor said that it was fine and would be excreted.
Therefore, during the correction period, do not eat bones or foods that are too hard, as this can easily cause the brackets to fall off.
After three or four months of wearing braces, my lower teeth began to become straighter, so I believed that they would become more and more beautiful in the future. With hope, I wore braces. Although they were not very beautiful, I began to learn to be generous.

On average, we will have a follow-up visit once a month, and adjust the braces according to the situation. It is normal for the teeth to be sore during those days.
I have been wearing braces for just over a year now, my lower teeth are almost aligned, and the gap between my teeth has been closed.
During the last follow-up visit, the doctor began to adjust the gap between the upper teeth, and things gradually changed. It used to be that I couldn't close my mouth, but now I can close my mouth, and my teeth's bite feels much better than before.
Some suggestions: If you feel that your teeth have indeed had some irreconcilable negative impact on you, go for orthodontics as soon as possible if you can. Correction is faster and more effective when you are a teenager, and it will not have much impact on social life.

Before orthodontic treatment, you need to deal with tooth decay and tooth decay first, get your teeth cleaned, and then wear braces.
Is it a mess?
