Getting braces as an adult is a choice that requires a certain level of long-term thinking and a willingness to go through something mildly uncomfortable and occasionally embarrassing in service of a result that is one to three years away. They know why they did it. They are being sensible about it. They are not complaining, or they are complaining only to specific people who have been pre-approved for this purpose. The first few days are the hardest — the soreness, the new geography of the mouth, the discovery of which foods are now complicated. Then it becomes a normal part of life, which is the strange thing about orthodontia: you adapt to it completely and then one day it's gone and you adapt to that instead. The gift for someone who just started this process is something that makes the early days more manageable or turns the whole experience into a slightly better one.
