Which is worse. Having teeth taken out, or braces?!

I have had braces and also had 4 of my permanent teeth out (as well as all 4 of my wisdom teeth)!. I thought that braces were more annoying just becaue I had them on over three years and they really didn't hurt except kind of ached a bit after I got them tightened!. Getting my teeth out probably hurt more at the time (just recovery since I was knocked out but my mouth got a little swollen and I couldn't eat some things for a week or so) but it was over in a much shorter time period!. So short term, teeth out, but long term, braces!. I didn't know this at the time but to keep the swelling down for a day after getting your teeth out keep yourself proped up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I have braces, ive had them since november 12 2007
and I JUST got them tightened yesterday ( April 29)
I HAD to wear headgear because I have an overbite
but I didnt like it and never wore it so they decided to give me
elastics and I like them WAY MORE!.

But I also got a chain too because of my spaces

so i got a
chain
tightening
and elastics !

im in SOOOOOOO MUCH PAIN ! ive take tynenol AND advil
but its not working :( i cant fall asleep lol
im really excited for when thier straight and come off though!.
I CANT WAIT :) !
i have just about 11 months left !?!

When your teeth are taken out they put you to sleep or
numb it and stuff, than the pain is gone after a couple days i guess ( ive never gotten any pulled out)

I'm not sure what one hurts more though, sorry!.

GOOD LUCK ! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
