Does Braces Hurt A Lot?!


Question:

Does Braces Hurt A Lot?

I'm getting braces in about a couple of weeks and I would Like to Know if it hurts or not?


Answers:

Its not an unbearable pain at all. Mostly an annoying pain, but it does hurt. Take ibuprofen right before your appointment. use the wax they give you for the places that rub a sore sport. drink some hot tea or hot chocolate when you are in pain and hold it in your mouth for a few seconds before swallowing it. I was an orthodontist assistant and we told our patience to chew gum right after every appointment. It hurts but it kinda works the soreness out and your mouth will be sore 1-2 days rather than 4-5. Just chew the fredent for people with dentures so it wont stick to your braces. I also had braces too so I know it works! = )
