Top 10 Tips for People Getting Braces!

I got my braces on October 31 in 2011. Total bummer- no Halloween candy for me. I decided at the age of 31 to get them just for totally selfish reasons: to boost my confidence in speaking to people. But once I got them on, I realized that there was so much I was not prepared for, mainly the pain and inconvenience of going back every 4-6 for MORE pain. So I decided to pick the top 10 things I wish someone had told me, and I could have been more prepared!!

What suggestions would you add??
