Is it a fixed one, or a removable retainer + plate?
You'll learn to talk again, and to control your salivation! Eating will be an effort for a few days though, and have lots of ibuprofen on hand for when the pain kicks in.
is it a fixed brace or a take out one?the take out ones are the ones you will never be able to say your s's in. the fixed one will be alright in no time
I got a brace today and Im 18 .. how embarassing! I cant talk properly and Im dribbling, any advice?

Dont worry, you'll get used to that in a few days. Just practice talking outloud to yourself or something And a year or two of having a brace is definately worth a fantastic smile for the rest of your life

ohh, one of them! i understand your pain! i think its just a case of getting used-to. you will be fine after a couple of weeks. when do you start uni? you might be an expert by then! just think, you will have such a gorgeous smile after this.

the sleeping one is better than the day one! its your choice. i would go for the sleeping one...although it may take longer for your teeth to perfect as the retainer is in for a shorter period of time

I just hope that my new uni friends wont look at my and go 'check out the dude with the braces' lol
Im sure they will be a bit more intelligent than that. Nobody really bats an eyelid at ppl with braces anymore. One of my friends mums had them when she was 40 or something crazy like that. Good teeth are worth it. Thats my favourite feature on the opposite sex - a good smile
