Let me just tell you that when you get them for the first time it's likely going to drive you up the wall. It's not INSANELY PAINFUL, but your teeth and gums become so sore that it's hard to eat a lot of food.

So that's something you'll have to endure. But after a while you'll adjust and they'll feel natural, you can eat again. I can't really tell you when the pain will stop, but it'll probably go away in a couple of weeks or less. Try to keep yourself from going nuts in the meantime. It was hard for me but I managed.

You'll be getting regular wire changes every other month, and after those your mouth starts to feel sore again. Don't fret, it won't take as long to adjust to those as it does to adjust the first time.

Flossing is going to be time consuming and irritating(why I didn't do it), so I suggest you get Hydrofloss or something.

Last of all, you shouldn't have yours for as long as I did... I was a rather special case. My kanines took forever to grow.
