Getting Braces

Felix Varas

For my webcomic I chose to draw a moment where you had to adapt to a big change in your life. What I chose for this prompt is Getting my braces, because it was a big change for me. When I first got braces I would cover my mouth with my hand because I thought I did not look good with them. But I got more comfortable with them and talked normally. It changed the way I had to do things. Like eating food I can't and can eat. Also they way I brush my teeth. I have to use special tools to clean your brackets, and I have to floss in between my braces. The braces would cut the inside of my mouth. My mouth was sore and my teeth felt tight. It is also hard to not eat foods that will break a bracket. I feel like getting braces can relate to Mary Jane because in school she would have to wear a veil, and her and her classmates didn't know what it was and were confused about what to do with it. I was confused with how to clean my braces and teeth. Also what foods to eat and not.
