I am going to be getting braces and would appreciate some advice beforehand?

It's simple: 3 things: 1. Keep teeth immaculately clean 2. Don't damage your braces--watch what you eat 3. Follow your orthodontic specialist's instructions to the letter. Remember your well meaning friends are not orthodontists.
