Does anyone know what I should do in order to save some money as orthodontics can be quite expensive? Do you think I should go to the Newcastle dental hospital or visit a private dentist in my area? For your information, I am an international student here in the UK. Thanks a lot for reading!

Hi, I’m 14 and got braces yesterday. I thought they were putting bottom and top brackets on (that’s what my parents told me), But Instead I got 8 spacers, 10 brackets on top, and the top wire. I really need help. I’m so sore, and in so much pain. My back bracket on the right side is lose and is poking me a lot ( l put wax on it). If a barely touch my teeth it fells like someone is hammering them. Same thing on the bottom cause of my spacers. I’m having braces for 2 years, and if they stay this way I can’t handle it! I have a high pain tolerance except for my teeth. I get my bottom braces on thursday and then have appointments every six weeks ( there self ligating InOvation braces ). After every appointment I figure skate for six hours, then pain was so bad it screwed with my jumps and spins! Tell it gets better!!! I take IB profen but it doesn’t numb it! I’m 5’4 1/2” and 86 pounds ( i’m under weight but not from a disorder, i have a very high metabolism ) so I can’t lose any weight, all i’ve eaten today is a small ice cream bar! Even soft food hurts, I tried to eat powdered donuts last night and I almost cried! So I put them in small peaces and dropped them in the back of my mouth and just swallowed, even that still hurt. THe dentist didn’t put the wire in so I don’t think they were tightened, why are they killing me! Please give me advice!!! Any special medications?
P.S. I got clear on top and am getting metal on bottom, does metal hurt worse!?!?!? And I’m sorry it’s so long!
