And a no popcorn, no chips, no gum, no...
...diet for 2 years. Then I have to wear a retainer when I sleep for the rest of my life. Yup, braces are great. =P

the retainer always gets abandoned after a while.

I tried eating a hamburger after I got my braces, it wasn't pleasant. The retainer isn't that bad though, you hardly ever notice it.

Being on an ice cream diet is great, haha, that was basically my excuse to have loads when I got braces :P I have retainers now and I've had them for a while, I don't really notice it, it's not that bad, and I only have to have them in at night now.

I remember the pain when first eating after getting braces, absolutely agonizing. It does get better though, and it's worth it in the end.

After 1 month you'll give up on doing the no popcorn, gum, etc rule. Well, I did at least :P

I should be getting my Braces off in a little less then a year.

Also, the "Wear a retainer for the rest of your life" thing is basically a joke. I'd rather live with semi-crooked teeth then wearing a retainer for the rest of my life XD

After a while getting your braces tightened doesn't feel like anything.

Although, you should wear the retainer for 1-3 after you get your braces removed.
