Answers:
You really need to talk to an orthodontist, but here's my experience: They will probably need to put spacers between your molars, which will make it ache a little for a day or so, but not bad. After that they will put bands around the molars, and glue brackets to all your other teeth. That shouldn't hurt much at all. Rinsing your mouth with a little salt water will actually take care of it almost all the time, and a little Tylenol will take care of the rest. Also when you go in to have them adjusted they will be a little sore for a day or two, and you can treat it the same. So it's not that big of a deal. Most people have braces for about 2 years. If your dentist says you need it, you'll be glad you did it.
