So in 2 days, I'l be getting braces for my lower jaw, (I already got the upper jaw), and in 3 days, we have our first duel meet of the year, and this saturday, we have a tourny.
The hell am i gonna do. It hurts like shit to even drink because i do it so awkwardly with braces, should i just tell them i can't come to the tourny? I really wanna go since it's the first ever one. Should i just suck it up?
The most important thing, can i fuck up my teeth if i get kneed with 2-3 day old braces? I know the teeth would probably be moving around.
-edit- I decided ill just tell him i won't wrestle, thanks guys!
If it was me, I would probably back out. Then again, I'm already self-conscious enough about my teeth.
I guess it really just depends on how often you would get hit in the face, and if you have a mouth guard. You should at least get input from your teacher about it.
I, for one, highly regret not taking care of my teeth. Do what you can to make sure they are fine.
Get the mouth guards that you put in hot/boiling water then put the guard in your mouth so it forms to the shape with the braces

I have a gel mouthguard that you just put on, doesn't adjust to your teeth. But from what i remember from when i got my upper jaw braces, even mouthguards hurt like a bitch.

I think you can get mouth guards meant to fit with braces.

Ya, that's the kind i have.
I would back out, don't want to have the braces repaired if you just got them on.
Do you wear those spongy helmets like they do in Karate?
I just got my upper braces 5 minutes ago, without thread, but I already have my lower, but you can probably still do active shit while having the braces in, atleast that's what I did.
If it's your second day with braces just don't wrestle. If you get hit in the face there will be a lot of cut gums, cut lips, and a lot of blood.
In the first week I had braces many years ago my face tried to catch a basketball...
Braces suck, ive had mine in around 2-4 years now. Don't wrestle, at least not in the beginning. Your teeth will hurt even without even being punched there. Don't wrestle with braces.
The only thing bad about braces is getting food stuck in them. They stop hurting after a couple months so the pain isn't that bad. Just wear your mouth guard and I'm sure you'll be fine. I've taken some nasty hits to the face with braces and the worst that happened was a slight cut in my lip.
why are you wrestling with men in the first place?
I had bracers for about 1 year while doing martial arts.
I got kicked a few times in the face from time to time.
Thankfully never on the mouth while i had bracers.
So we were in PE class, playing soccer, one girl kicks the ball and it bounces off my shin, which then hits right in her mouth. Thanks to her braces she got a cut in her lip. Nothing bad, but it kinda sucks. Now take that to wrestling. I probably wouldn't do it
Get a mouth guard. And suck it up.

Wrestling? Just hit the opponent with a metal chair before they can take you down.
