Braces !

Ugh anyone with braces who can give me some advice or pointers on what it’s like. I’m about to get mine and im a little scared lol my boyfriend keeps telling me I’ll loose weight because of the do and don’t eats. He has braces before but it’s hard to have a serious conversation with him about it. I can sense he knows I’m scared about it so he tries to lighten the mood by teasing me and stuff but I can’t get any real information from him about the experience
