    • Hey you’ll eventually get used to the braces. I had em for 4 years but the pain will subside after like 2 days to week or so.

      You got this, firedragon!

    • I got braces on my lower jaw too. They will attempt to agonize your jaw for a couple days but after that you’ll be fine. Don’t worry

    • Oh god I remember when I got my braces. I couldn’t eat anything solid for a few days because they hurt so bad. That first apple after getting them removed 3 years later was heaven.

      My recommendation? Make an Italian meat sauce, like a bolognese. Gets you some meat and some veggies without needing to chew it. Eventually the pain and discomfort will go away, probably after two weeks, and you’ll be able to eat anything that isn’t like an apple or concrete or corn on the cob.

    • I’m praying for you bro, because that’s going to keep feeling uncomfortable for a while.
