Teeth braces, do they hurt?!
Question: If you have fixed braces, only very little, I had them with no problems, and I have a phobia of dentists.
The part that will probably hurt the most is having the metal rings placed around your back teeth, but this is only akin to a bad toothache, and will go by the end of the day, you feel a slight discomfort when they alter the tauntness of the wire, but again, by the time you get home, the discomfort will be gone.
If you are concerned, you could request an anaestic, but this won't do much, and having the rings fitted for example only takes about a minute, literally.
Also, ask your dentist if you can perhaps watch them fit it on someone else, or a pair of dentures, and you can see what it involves.
If you do feel uncomfortable after, take some painkillers and have a nap or something, when you wake up, you'll forget all about it.
If you need something to take your mind off things, take an MP3 player with you and listen to some music or something, or find a website with riddles on it, don't look at the answer, then think about how to solve the riddle, and have a look when you get home.
To be honest, it's not even as bad as say, having a filling, you barely feel anything.

No they only hurt when the tighten them up every 3 months or so. Even then it doesn't last long.
Sorry I don't actually really know my friend had them and she said they hurt a bit when you first get them but after that they get better, im nervous about getting them too.
hey funny just today morning i saw a TV show which said you can now get braces in plastic and other material .They not just look cool but they dont even show up to others.
Find out more about it and insist your doctor about this new type of braces which not only make you look good but will do the job for you. Good luck
it doesn't really hurt, just lots of pressure when they tighten them
I had braces for three years and overall they do NOT hurt. The day after they are tightened it is a little sore but it all depends of how much they change them. Also if your wires are not cut correctly they can dig into you cheeck. But like I said overall they do not hurt at all.
No, I had braces 3 years ago. It only hurt when you get them tightend thats it.
I kind of liked them when I had them. But then again Im kind of weird
