Hey all - this is Avlena's Hubby
Like she said, just got my braces about a month or so ago, and went for a dive this past weekend.
I found that the brackets like to snag (I have a Titan Micra reg) a little on to the mouthpiece, so I had to be a little careful inserting and removing the thing. Also, since my teeth were
very sensitive to pressure (esp. after a readjustment), any movement (tugs, bumps, etc) to the hose transferred pressure to my teeth, making things a little uncomfortable. I ended up being very conscious of my surroundings and avoiding things that could bump into me (like fins of other divers).
All in all, it wasn't as quite painful as Avlena made it sound, it just had a good amount of "oral discomfort" you could say. Nothing that will deter me from diving again while I have my braces
I'll just, you know, wait for a week or so past my next adjustment.
I think I'm going to look into getting a new mouthpiece, perhaps the one mentioned earlier.
