Peace - They will look fine. Don't worry about what others think. For the first couple of days you don't want to eat anything hard. Just soft things. I recommend frozen yogurt, ice cream, soft pretzels, rice (cooked lol), soup, mac-n-cheese, etc. After a few days you can eat what you eat regularly. Orthodontists tell you not to chew gum,suck on ice, eat popcorn, etc. but I still it :)
ReplyDeleteIf you ask your orthodontists they can give you a mouth guard so you can wear it during gymnastics. Good luck!!
NicoleH - no you'll look fine, no one will even notice your bottom braces, and if they do they won't really notice that you don't have colors on them.
ReplyDeletethey will tell you basically anything you can't eat, stay away from hard, crunchy, chewy, sticky, stuff, and cut up apples if you want to eat those. they'll tell you everything you need to know when you're there.
You need to tell them you are a gymnast, so they will give you a mouthguard so nothing happens to your teeth or anything.
