Braces and teeth pulling?!
Question: I just went to the dentist yesterday and she said that I will have to get two teeth pulled (still baby, i'm bad at getting teeth out) and after that, i'll have to get braces. I have so many questions. If you could answer any, that would be great.
What do the do when the pull the teeth? Will it hurt? How do i get the teeth out before then?
What do getting the braces feel like when getting the on/ having them for a while? Do they hurt?
Thanks!

Well it depends if the teeth are loose, since they are baby teeth, then they will just pull the tooth right out, and if they are not they they will probably do local anesthetic to numb the area and pull them out. It won't hurt too badly because they are still baby teeth but you might be a little swollen or sore.
Get braces is not that bad, the first week or so your teeth will be sore and you will feel that you cannot chew anything so you might not be able to eat a lot of chewy or solid foods (but this doesn't happen to everyone so you might be lucky) also since there is something new and metalic in your mouth, you might get cuts on your cheeks that may happen while you are sleeping (but tthat didn't really happen to me), but they give you this wax stuff that you put over the places that are cutting you so it doesnt rub against the inside of your mouth. But dont worry you will eventually get used to them, and it is all worth it in the end.
For the answer to you first question I have to say that if you get a good anastasia you will not feel any pain, however you will feel the pressure used on your tooth which may be a little discomforting for you, but overall it is not something that you should worry about.
To your second line of questions I would have to say that they are painful for the first few days but the pain is not sharp like a toothache but rather dull.
I had 4 teeth pulled before they put on my braces because I had a small mouth. He gave me a shot so it didn't hurt. Putting on the braces was a little uncomfortable. It hurt for a few days after that and then when they were tightened but nothing some Tylenol can't help. You'll be fine!
