I'm going through braces right now as well! (At 19 years old- a little later than most clearly)

They really do get easier, but man. I have to agree the pain is real. I remember when I first got mine put on, I went to school and tried to eat a cinnamon roll (a really light and fluffy one) and it hurt so bad I started crying and begged my mom to come pick me up.

But they do get easier. The first month or so is the most difficult. But I think the hardest part is the fact I'm not supposed to eat my favorite chips anymore :c

(I still do anyway. Which is probably why I've broken 3 wires in a row lmao)
