well i have braces right now and ive had them for almost a year. its really not that bad. people complain a lot about them..but trust me..its not a big deal.
after youve had the x-rays and your teeth have been molded, then you get them. they put this big thing in your mouth to keep your mouth wide and dry. they glue the metal on and attach the wires also. while theyre doing it i couldnt feel anything, just some pressure. it starts hurting later on..mine didnt start hurting til an hour later. so i guess it just depends. you should probably take some form of ibuprofen right before your appt. but it just aches for a few days and i recommend eating soft foods for a little while. (applesauce is great!) when you first get them..its probably the worst throughout your entire time of having braces. cause eventually you get used to them. and when you start going monthly to get them tightened, it just aches for a day or so. at least mine do. trust me..braces arent scary..just a little soreness here and there but theres nothing big to worry about. i had to get a couple teeth pulled but other than that..braces are pretty simple.
