Do you have wax? Get wax and put it on the back braces - makes eating much less painful.
Remember - braces are truly a good case of "no pain no gain"
A little discomfort now - a beautiful smile later!
(and, btw, get a floss threader - you can slip them between your teeth... if you go to a drug store they'll have them - people who have bridges use them)
