Operation: De-Braced - Your Hilarious Hacks to Freedom (From Metal Mouth!)
Let's face it, braces are the ultimate frenemy. They're giving you a stellar smile in the making, but they also feel like they've been chilling in your mouth since the dawn of time. So, while you can't exactly yank them out yourself (trust us, we've tried), there are ways to nudge your orthodontist into releasing you from the tyranny of metal.
Mastering the Metal Marathon: Simple Hacks for Speedy Straightening
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
-
Become a Food Ninja: Say goodbye to chomping on apples whole. Embrace the cut-up life. Think bite-sized fruit kebabs and veggie straws. You'll be a master chef of tiny morsels in no time, and your braces will thank you for it.
-
Floss Like a Boss: Braces love to trap food particles like a tiny jail for rogue popcorn kernels. Flossing becomes your best friend. Become so good at it, you could floss a cat's teeth (don't actually try that).
-
Rubber Band Rodeo: Those colourful elastics? They're not there for you to practice your slingshot skills with your friends. Wear them religiously, as instructed. Think of them as tiny superheroes working overtime to move your teeth into place.
-
Channel Your Inner Saint: Resist the urge to chew on ice, pencils, or anything else that wasn't designed for your chompers. These things can wreak havoc on your braces, adding weeks (or even months!) to your sentence.

Befriend a Beagle: We hear beagles are notorious for their love of chewing. Maybe you can convince yours to take a gentle nibble at your braces every now and then? (Just kidding...beagles are adorable, don't let them near your mouth!)
-
The Snail Mail Method: Write a very, very long, heartfelt letter to your orthodontist, detailing your deepest desire for brace-free bliss. Maybe a tear-jerking story will do the trick? (Probably not, but hey, points for creativity!)
-
Operation: Subterfuge: Sneak into your orthodontist's office at night, swap your braces for a retainer you, uh, borrowed from a friend (totally not recommended), and leave a "thank you" note. (This is a terrible idea. Please don't do this.)
Tip: Revisit challenging parts.
