Brace Face

I got braces a few weeks ago.
It's a BIG change.
I can no longer bite into a burger or hot dog.
I cant chew things with my front teeth.
I have to take an extra fifteen minutes to brush and floss.
I'm not embarrassed because nearly every kid in my grade has them.
When I'm eating food in a restaurant I catch people staring at me.
I see little kids giving my braces big bug eyes. 
It's not a good feeling.......
My teeth HURT and yet I know its because they are working.
It's kind of scary to think that just a few weeks ago, the first day of the next 2 years of my life, happened.

    Hang in there! I feel your pain.
    :) A cold smoothie can help if it hurts a lot! (you might've already heard this)

    OMG I totally get what your going through. I had braces for 3 years plus spacers and palate expanders which are so bad!
    My go to foods when my teeth were hurting were:
    Smoothies
    Yogurt
    Pasta (It depends on the kind but it is pretty soft on your teeth)
    And my favorite.....Milkshakes!
