Do people get their mouth numbed before they receive braces?!


Question: Do people get their mouth numbed before they receive braces!?
Answers:
No, having braces placed is pretty painless!. Later on in the day your teeth will become tender as they start to move!. To be on the safe side take some extra strength tylenol before you go and keep it in your system for the next 3-4 days!. I work for an orthodontist and the reason we recommend tylenol is because it is known that high doses of some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen can slow and even stop tooth-movement!. Most recently Imigran, a drug used to treat migraine has been identified as possibly interfering with tooth-movement!. So be careful when selecting your pain relief medication!. You will also want to stick to a softer diet because your teeth will be to tender to chew anything tough!. Also ask the orthodontist to give you plenty of wax and show you how to properly apply it!. Best of luck to you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't hurt while your doing the procedure!. So the answer is no!.

But you WILL DEFINITELY NEED some PAINKILLERS for the next two days after braces

It hurts so much to eat or talk or chew!

I suggest eating soup for the first week!.
