Dont ever drink using straw it can cause dry socket.
dont ever smoke too.
avoid hot thing, take more cold food.
dont play the gum area where the tooth is extracted with your tongue. just let them be.
and dont gargle with water before 24 hours you got your teeth extracted.

when my tooth extracted for braces too.
i never brush my teeth for 2 days. lol. i just gargle some thing that my ortho gave me to gargle the next day. :D

Good Luck on your braces
