for your tests: good luck! make sure u study before it helps a lot,,, you’ll defs pass! in regards to braces, I don’t have any but my sister has them…it will hurt for a couple of days but it really helps to have sweet stuff like ice cream and cold custard idk why. make sure you don’t eat anything ur not supposed to (the orthodontist will probably give u a pamphlet or smth) and make sure to take good care of ur teeth 😊
