i had braces for 6 years. The reason for so long is cuz i didn't wear the bands or gear at night like you are supposed to if instructed to. Even tho it sucks, DO IT. It cuts down time so much. with time you get used to em, and you can eat anything. I didn't use wax or anythin, just brushed well, mouthwash, etc. Tightening sucks, especially when they do a huge change in wire or whatever, god thats hell. They will rub abit but you again, with time, you dont notice it, no more bleeding, etc. The thing i hated the most was the food getting stuck, just gotta get it out with tongue or whatever. I used to be able to suck the food out haha, pro status :P Best feelign in the world when you get em off tho, and they really do work. You'll be glad you did em.
