Braces and my teeth....?!
Question: I am getting 4 teeth extractions after I get my braces put on and I was wondering what will I expect? They are bicuspids and I have to get them because my 2 baby teeth dont have anything growing under it so I have to get 2 bicuspids on the top to even it out. Anybody like me? Why do I have to get braces first? Anybody go throught this? What will it feel like the days after? Rate the pain factor 1-10. Please help! PLEASE REMEMBER: I GET BRACES FIRST THEN TEETH EXTRACTIONS!
God Bless and Merry Christmas!!!

Well, i got ma braces first and then ma ortho told me i need ma teeth removed for space 8 months after i got braces.
But dont worry it wont pain alot, you will only have abit and half the time i think your teeth would be numb. so u wont feel a thing
No worries
JUST SMILE!!!!:D

The teeth extractions hurt more happening than after. Happening, it is about an 8 but after, a 2.
The extractions should be relatively painless because they usually give you pain pills till you're more healed up. A little ache, but not too bad. Getting the teeth out in the first place never hurt because of novacaine--I got 5 pulled out and then braces put on.
The braces hurt. There's no other way to put it. Keep plenty of very soft foods in the house, things that require no chewing like pudding, applesauce, and soup. Take over the counter pain meds every time they tighten them, and think how good your teeth will look for the rest of your life! You can do this.
my situation is similar to yours. i had gotten 4 teeth taken out. 2 on top, and 2 on bottom. each were premolars, which you generally take out for extraction when you have overcrowding in your mouth and need space to align your teeth.
i did get braces first as well before the extraction, the braces were only on my top 4 front teeth. you get them on so that theres already pressure on your teeth, as well when the extraction of the teeth are away, the teeth will be able to shift into the empty spaces left from the extractions. you will be in a long process to moving the teeth together from the empty gaps. Most-likely you will get power chains, power chains are long chain-like rubber bands wrapped around each bracket and are connecting each bracket, pulling all the teeth together to close the extraction spaces left, i can say power chains are rather more painful than getting the braces on itself.
but, the pain factor after extraction is not bad, maybe like a 2 or 3. i used tylenol, and it worked well. dont worry. you will bleed much the first few hours, but they will give you gauzes ( white absorbent-like cloths) to put in your mouth.
