Do braces hurt...?!
Question: I'm getting braces next, next week, and truthfully, I'm kind of scared. Okay, not kind of, but REALLY. I hear that the braces hurt after you put it on, but that's not I'm worried about. I just need to know if it hurts when you actually put the braces on, because I'm really scaring myself.

***u can get as many pattern of colors u want, but dont go more than 2
***pink and light blue are cute colors
***NEVER get white or clear bands cause white looks like food is stuck in ur braces and clear like it u eat ketchup or a lollipop or somethin, they stain
***they put the bands, and then every time u go back u get to choose new colors
k
i have gotton em on over 6 times (dont ask!)
it doesnt hurt dont worry-it is just a long process and it tastes kinda bad
they give u a band on ur molars fiist, to see ur size and stuff
first theu put this positioner thing is ur mouth, it makes your mouth stretch a lkot so they can see ur teeth, it will bother u for a minute or 2 but u will get used to it, u keep that thing on the WHOLE time
then there are these things that look like shots and stuff, i got really freaked out when i first saw them but actually, they dont go in ur mouth! this is the cement that they put on ur braces then they stick the braces on ur teeth
**the cement kinda tastes bad!
they do this the first time and every time u get them tightened:
they will put the rubber bands on ur braces with things that look like sisscors (they dont hurt) after that they put the wire-this is the most anoying part cause after they slip it in ur mouth, they have to cut it to make it fit right
then that is it!(the process is about 35 minutes)
Ur done
but after u do it, ask ur doctor for dental wax, dental cotton balls, and rubber cover up
***each person is different i bleed a little on the first day and i put a few cotton balls in my mouth for like 3 minutes
when u get home use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluids
then for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, pudding, jello, beans, yogurt, custard, fries, milkshakes, ice cream, and soft foods-avoid straws
every night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of days
every morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleaner
dont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i just got em off about four months ago-i luv my new smile!!!
na for some reason i liked them, and i was in 2nd grade
and it doesn't hurt like really no pain.....your just going to be sore the day after
Heak yes. like a motha...! just after a few days the pain goes away. just take some advil and drink smoothies! it helps a lot!
No, the putting on does not hurt, it is only when yo go back to tighten them. it is not a pain when they tighten, but the next day or so they ache, like a head ache on your teeth. It is not too bad though and you will always be glad you got them because you will have a beautiful smile!
when your in the dentist office putting them on, no
after they begin to be really sore for like three or four days
and then every time you tighten them
Actually it doesn't hurt putting it on because all they're doing is sticking cottons and a plastic thing in your mouth to keep it open and separate from other parts of the inside of your mouth. They're just going to put cement glue on your teeth to glue the brackets in. The wires goes between the holders on the brackets. Also they're going to put these plastic little rubber band things between a few of your teeth to create space. They put the spacers in first for me then the brackets a week or so later. Your gums will ache because it's just adjusting the teeth a little. It goes away within a week or so. Don't worry, it's not painful at all. =)
You'll feel some discomfort and pressure, but not any drastic pain.
It sounds like you have been made aware of the soreness that follows, usually lasts a few days.
Also when you go back to get the braces tightened/adjusted expect more soreness. Nothing Advil won't fix.
I don't want to scare you but they actually do
I have some right now and they dig into you r gums and cut your mouth all up
the don't hurt much when you get them on just about an hour afterwards they are going to feel real weird but you will eventually get used to it
they will give you some wax to put on your braces to ease the pain but it doesn't stay in and you just end up eating it
also take some Advil or pain medication before you go in for appointments that way the medication will already be in affect
I have heard that it is well worth it but so far not for me I'm just ready to get them off cause they dig into my gums
well I hope i didn't scare you to bad and was helpful
it kinda hurts for like the first couple days, and you have to get used to it for like two weeks, but then you dont even notice. ive had mine about a year and a half and i barely notice them. kinda annoying sometimes, but its ok.
hey, i got my braces just yesterday! i'd suggest you prepare for the worst because the whole day today all i ate was noodles and jamba juice. i don't know, depending on each person the pain level might differ BUT it's not a pleasent feeling. so i think it'll be okay cos everyone keeps telling me that the pain only lasts for a couple of days. haha but it's kind of hard to be okay with that answer when i'm constantly worried someone will accidentally knock my mouth or hit it. just be careful! and make sure you follow all directions to brushing your teeth!
When they first put the braces on they dont hurt. But after a few hours they start hurting because the braces are working and the teeth are moving, but this is completely normal. You will be thanking your parents for getting you braces, I am getting mine off January 22nd and my teeth are looking great. When you get done with braces your teeth will look awesome!! Just dont forget to wear your retainer when you get them off, that is the most important part about getting the braces is to retain you teeth and wear your retainer to keep your teeth looking as great as they did when you first got them off. Also, when you get them off you will get to choose awesome looking colors and designs for your retainer and retainer case. Trust me this will all work out. I was really nervous about getting them on too, but it worked out just fine, you are going to worry yourself sick, do something to get your mind off of it. I hope this advice helps, good luck and merry christmas to you! :)
