which i know it will!

taking some aspiring before going in is a good idea. if they dont give u sunglsses already ask for them, not bc it would hide it if u cried ( which u probably wont bc it does not hurt that much ) but in a situation like this u will most liely be nervous and this can make it easier for your eyes to be bothered. this happened when i went i kept blinking so much they actually gave me sunglases @_@. maybe your eyes are nto as sensitive to light as mine but if i had to do it again i would definetely want the glasses from the start. gl!

honestly, getting braces is not that bad! and i'm not saying that just to comfort you!
and to be honest i don't think there's any need to take an I-Pod because a) it's not very practical and b) it really doesn't take that long - yes, longer than a normal dentist appointment but it whizzes by!
the worst thing about getting braces is that the first few days it's sooo hard eating! even the softest of foods, like bread, i found soo hard to eat! but after a couple of days, you'll be back to eating normally again! and the second worst thing is getting your braces tightened..the first time you get them tightened is awful..but then once you go the other times, you're so used to it, it doesn't bother you!
hope it goes okay
Take painkillers, the first day you don't feel anything but the following morning SUCKS
Also, get some wax at the orthodontist.
