Do Spacers/Braces hurt?!

Do Spacers/Braces hurt?

I am 14 year old and i am getting my spacers in on monday and braces in on friday.... What should i expect from each??? (pain, foods i cant eat, etc.)

Well i got my braces on when i was 14 and I'm gettin them off in august

Spacers just cause discomfort for a couple of days its not to bad

Braces when you get them on they will cause discomfort and also hurt for the first couple days when you get them on but after two or three adjustments you ll gain a tolerance for them adjustments and pain

What i did was i asked for this little chew thing and i would chew on that for a hour or two cause it loosened up the teeth making it easier for them to move with less pain also drink something cold to numb it if it gets bad

but so far i think the braces are worth the pain cause it really doesn't hurt as much as people say it does

also for the first day or two you might want to stick to foos like outmeal or paste things that dont really need much chewing cause its goin to be a little painful closing your mouth to chew but youll be able to eat normal again after a couple of days

GOOD LUCK!!!
