OMG, I had to wear braces for about 2 yrs!. I just got them off and the retainers are killing me!. I think I liked having braces better than having the retainers! The braces were a little painful when I got them on and when I got them tightened but it's nothing a little Advil can't fix!. What sucked about braces was you can't eat popcorn, doritos, hard tacos, chew gum, cheetos, peanuts, etc!. The peanut rule was the hardest for me b/c I like peanut M +M's!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well, i have recently got braces, i was really scared but its not bad at all!!! Before you go i recommend you have an ibuprofen and i dont know if your ortho does this but mine gave me a medicine to stop my saliva glands so my mouth was dry!. I'd eat a lot of candy and gum while you can because you can only have sugarless gum when you have them!. Theres a really gross taste that goes down your throat when they put them on so be aware!!! I really like my braces there cute but, you have to clean them a lot!. They have little brushes called go betweens i recommend you get on because they go threw each bracket and get food out, so thats good!. They hurt the first few days and after that good to go! And they sort of hurt when you get them tightened!. You can't have any dark pops or it will stain your teeth and that wont be good! So i reccomend just take good care of them!. =D Hope i helped!!
P!.S!. You may have a wire in your mouth poking you when you get them or anytime throughout the process use wax you can get a local store with dental supplies and put it on there it works good!!! =DWww@Answer-Health@Com

they don't hurt!. I got them when I was in middle school and they don't hurt at all when you first get them on!. They are very awkward at first becasue you feel like you have a mouth-full of metal, but you'll get used to it very quickly!. The only part that hurts at all is when you go in to get them tightened!. They are a little sore when they do this but its nothin too bad at all!. My advice to you is do EVERYTHING the orthodontist tells you and you will get them off as soon as possible!. When you ignore his instructions you will find yourself in those things for year and years and years!. Not fun!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It can be a little uncomfortable, but nothing unbearable!. You will probably find that you talk a little funny for a while as it naturally feels like you should keep you lips over it, but that willl pass!. You need to make sure you clean you teeth really well around each tooth and using a rinse helps!. Also dont eat anything hard, I snapped off one of my braces trying to eat the meat of a chicken wing from red rooster!. Each time you have them tightnened it will feel a little uncomfortable as it is pulling your teeth in but you will get usd to it and it only lasts a day!. Dont stress about it, think of how nice your teeth will look when they are taken off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Haha, you sound so scared you an't even type!.
just kiddingg(:
well, i just got mine off after having them for two years, and the good news is no, it really doesn't hurt when you get them on,
the bad news though, the day after is hellllll!.
Its good to stay away from hot foods becuase now they aer heat activated and the heat will tighten them a little for the first few weeks, and carry a bottle of ice water with you everywere!

omg! they do not hurt at all! could be a personal preference though!. i had them and i can recall that they just open your mouth with this holder thing, suck out spit, put glue on, and press the bracket on to stick! then when you get them off it's fine, i hardly remember that, but i remember I was sad to get them off! The first week may be a bit sore because your teeth are not use to a tiny bit of pressure, or you may have sensitive teeth, but don't worry at all! you will have so much fun with them, and just be glad you don't have to get your gums cut, wisdom teeth pulled, have a head brace, or anything else!. it's just braces, no sweat!.!. you'll be happy with the results!Www@Answer-Health@Com
im getting them soon too!. my sister had them and she had some pain after the ortho replaced wires or tightened them but she just took panadol and now she has perfectly straight teeth!. it will hurt, but it wont stop you doing stuff you want to do, and in the end u will have straight teeth! just a tip, PANADOL!!! you wont be able to eat toffee and stuff for a while but when u get used to them you can eat pretty much anything!. make sure you brush well with a soft toothbrush!. good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't worry! They don't hurt at all!. It takes about an hour in the office!. They only hurt for about 24 hours after getting them on and that's it!. I have had mine on for about a year and a half and I got real used to them The only thing the matters is that you have beautiful straight teeth!.
Ways to take of them!
1!. Brush them for about two minutes twice a day!.
2!. Floss between your teeth!. Your orthodontist should give you floss pixs to make it easy for you!.
3!. don't eat chewy foods!. Like gum
4!. No popcorn!
5!. Have foods cut!. Like when you eat corn on the cob, cut the corn of of it!. Cut apples,pears etc!.
Good Luck! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am an orthodontic assistant so I sure hope I can help! It truly is not a bad experience!. At our office the assistants fit the bands on the molars and cement them in!. First they will remove your seperators if there are any!. Then they will try to find the band needed for your tooth, it may take several attempts before finding the right one!. To actually get the band on we have the patient do most of the work by biting on what we call a bite stick!. We place the bite stick on the band and tell you to bite and then you eventually bite it into place!. After all of the bands are fitted we take them off and get them ready to be glued in!. Placing the brackets is super easy, we put in cheek retractors to help keep the teeth dry and a block to bite on so you won't have to try and hold your mouth open the whole time!. Then all you have to do is just sit there while they get the teeth ready for the brackets they are placing!. They will prep the teeth with a few things to help the glue stick better!. Then they put the brackets on!. Once that is done they will place your wires, which is when you will know you are almost done! Keep in mind they might not do things exactally like this since it is a different office but I hope this gives you a better idea of what will happen!. And if you are still nervous let them know that and ask them to talk you through the whole process!. I think you will do just fineWww@Answer-Health@Com
For about a week after you get them on, yes your teeth might be a little bit sore, and yes it might be hard to eat lets say, a steak!. but dont stress it the pain soon goes away and after each appointment it will hurt less and less each time you get them tightened!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Calm down!. Braces do not hurt when you get them on!. I have had them on and off several times!. (know they are off for good : D!!) The getting them on part does not hurt one bit!! I actually thought they where cleaning my teeth not putting the brackets on!. After they may\may not be sore!. Mine where!. Take an advil or Tylenol!. Eating can be tricky when they are sore!. When you get the bands changed they will be sore a little bit!. As soon as you get your braces on you will feel a little tightness (idk if that is even a word) You will survive I promise!

Don't worry, when you get them off its amazing and its all worth!. It doesn't hurt when they put them on, they only start to get sore after a little less than a day, popsicles really help!. Do what they tell you, avoid sticky foods and don't eat really hard candy (I popped 3 bracket off with one ill-fated chomp on a candy necklace)!. Brush often and well, and hopefully you'll get them off quickly!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
ok, first of all DON'T BE SCARED!. relax!.
when ur dentist is putting braces on u, they don't hurt!
the only time it hurts is when they tighten it!.
once u have braces, u might not get used to them and they might feel a little weird/uncomfortable!. this might take u from a week + until it goes away!.!.!.
during those couple of weeks, i suggest u should eat soft food!.!.!.and example is soup, mashed potato!.!.!.
when u have braces, u should NOT:
1!. chew gum (the stickiness might cause something to come off/become loose)
2!. eat popcorn
3!. eat sticky candy (example: starburts)
4!. bite the end of ur pencil ect!.!.!. (if u do this)
5!. sticky, gooey or crunchy food
6!. caramel, taffy, peanut brittle can stick on your braces and pull the braces or brackets off your teeth
7!.!.!.!.!.TOO MANY lol!. well, u get the point
another important information!.!.!.!.!. make sure u ask any questions that u have to your dentist!.
remember to TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH!!!

You can only eat sugar free gum, and you cant bit into apples or anything hard!.!. you have to cut them up!. Make sure you brush very thoroughly around the brackets so when you get your braces off, there aren't big yellow squares where they used to be!. Ask your orthodontist if he/ she offers wax, in case your braces are rubbing against your cheeks!. For the first couple days, to be honest, they do hurt!. Just eat things that are soft and in 3-4 days you will be back to normal! Good Luckk!! [=Www@Answer-Health@Com
okay they don't give you a needle, so dont worry about that!. they basically put air on your teeth to clean them then put the brackets on the tooth with glue and put the wire through and tighten it!.
i got top and bottom put on the same day with double chains on top and single on the bottom!. it wasn't that horrible!.
things i ate while i was sore:
soup,jello,jelly sandwich,bananas, any soft frut!.
stuff not to eat:
popcorn!. i broke a bunch of brackets with that!.
but for the sticky stuff they tell you not to eat it, but if your really carefull you should be fine!Www@Answer-Health@Com

umm i didnt have a needle!? it really wasnt that painful, but i couldnt eat hard things for a week!. but in the end i LOVED having braces because my teeth are sooo straight now and i dont regret it at all!. i wouldnt recommend eating sticky things!. you should definitely brush your teeth a lot and do everything that your orthodontist says!.

it does not hurt i got mine monday!. They just put it on and dry it!. It takes about 30 minutes!. all you do is brush regular and floss!. use fluoride and DONT use whitening toothpaste!. Because it bleaches the color bands!. and hydrogen peroxide!. they will give u a book that will tell u everything

There is nothing you can do prior to getting them on that will ease the pain!. Just eat all the hard foods that you can because for the first week, you can only eat the softest of foods!. (I only ate small cartons of orange juice at school on my first day of having them)Www@Answer-Health@Com
How cute - I remember when I got braces I was so happy because I could not wait to have straight teeth!!! It doesn't hurt - it's not as high maintenance as you think!.

your spelling is horrible, also it will only hurt if you dont take care of your teeth properly, it might give you a dull and somewhat annoying pressure on your teeth, but its not even as bad as getting pinched!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This answer is LONG but very detailed!. If u really want advice then READ it all!!!!
OK!. I have braces and here's what happens:
Did you get your spacers!? Yes!? No!?
Well spacers are put on ur mouth to make room for the braces, which will tighten your mouth!. Some need it and some don't!. usually spacers are put on one week B4 braces!. They take it off when ur getting ur braces!.
Anyway, it DOES hurt when they put em!. Takes about 2-3 hours!. It doesn't really hurt THAT much, but you feel pressure on your teeth, which DOES hurt!.
When it hurts take tylenol, or panadol!. The first day you can only eat soup, ice cream, otmeal!.!.!.stuff like that!. But I barely ate because it hurt a lot!.
Anyway!. The thing is that, you're gonna have to deal with it, cause every month they get tightened and it's like putting them over and over again!. Yes, it sucks!. I know!.
Don't eat: candy, gum, hard things ( like starburst ) Actually don't eat candy at all!. You have to be REALLY higienic, because braces can get sooooo dirty with food stuck and it's real nasty!. Plus, you have to take care of the braces AND your teeth so you're gonna have to wash more often!.
When you wash, wash your teeth and the brackets in CIRCULAR motions! That way the brackets will be less likely to fall!. The first day it also hurts to wash your teeth and to drink cold liquids, so if you have any probs!. drink them thru a straw!.
Ask the orthodontist for some wax!. If a bracket is hurting you, put some wax, roll it into a little ball!. Then put the little ball where it hurts!. REMEMBER to take it off afterwards!
And don't touch the brackets!. Or push or pull them!. It hurts a lot!. And if you play sports be careful because the slightest hit on your teeth wil hurt!. A LOT!.
Anyway if u want to know what they do when you're there, here it is!.
First the clean your teeth (sometimes)
Then, they put some metal things on your molars to hold the brackets with the metal thing you put on top of the brackets (i forgot the name)
THEN! Then, after that, they will put something in your cheeks so your mouth will be open!. VERY open!. That way they put the glue to put the brackets!.
You're gonna have to stay with your mouth open for like 2 hours!. But don't worry!.
After they put the glue they glue the bracket!. Then you wait like 15 or 20 mins!. for the glue to dry!. It depends though!.
After that they put the little metal thing on top of the bracket!. This is when it kinda starts to hurt!. Then they tighten it, and your mouth feels kinda sore!.
Then u choose the colours, which is like the only fun part! LOL!.
Your mouth will feel soooo weird!. Really!. Like it has a metal thing or something!. Just plain weird!.!.!.your gums may be hurt if you are hit on the mouth, cause the gums will collide with the metals, which is kinda painful!.
The soreness goes away for about 1-3 days!. But every month u have to go to get em tightened and deal with it again!.!.but its fine!.
It will all be worth it when you see your smile!!!!! Ur smile will be perfect!. Anyways when u go to get ur braces PUT ON CHAPSTICK! Your lips wil be oh so dry!.!.!.
Good luck!
