My braces hurt like hell when I got them!. What was suppose to take about 1 hour installations took 4 hours!. I was in intesnse pain the whole time!. I'm well into adulthood, I don't know if that made a difference, but as I was in the chair being "worked on" I thought if this is what braces are like, I don't think I want these, but the ortodontist convinced me to get them!. I'm had them for a year and they are a royal pain, the flossing is annoying, and everything gets caught!. The adjustments are also pretty painful, where the remove the wire, and have to clamp it back into place, a snap over every tooth with a little tool, that feels like it's going to just crack the tooth off into the back of your throat!. The thing that I hate the most are the elastic bands they give you to stretch from the top of your mouth, all the way to the back of your mouth, that are about the size of a pencil eraser in diameter!. They strech and pull your teeth to the correct spaces, but the pain is unbearable!. The last straw for me was the orthodontist telling me I would have to the wear the bands 24 hours a day, only to be removed for eating!. If you don't wear them the orthodontist will know cuz your teeth won't move, and he will not be happy with you!. I'm having my braces removed in July!. I can't take it!. I hope you have better luck!. make sure and ask lots and lots of questions, and know exactly what you are getting intoWww@Answer-Health@Com

I had them for years when I was a kid!.
Braces hurt any time you get them tightened (usually once a month or so)!. Your mouth will be sore for a couple of days (asprin will be your friend) and then you'll forget your wearing them for the rest of the time!.

They don't hurt 24/7 but they do for a couple of days after they are tightened!. All you can do is tough it out a couple of days a month and you'll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I have braces at the moment and I asked the same question to my dentist and they all said the same thing "no, they dont"
The wire they are putting in your mouth is shaped a specific way!. Once its put on your teeth, its out of form, so its going to push and pull on your teeth until it is back in its original form!.
That means, yes for 2-3 days it will have pressure on your teeth, but thats okay, because smoothies and a soft diet will fix that pain!.
Hope I helped!

I have them now!.!.!.
I was really exited to get them 2!.!.!.
In my opinion, Spacers hurt way more!.!.!.
When I got braces I felt fine and they didnt hurt at all!.!.!.
But it depends on how crooked ur teeth are!.!.!.
If u have 2 get teeth pulled like I did then they tighten ur braces, Then that is when it starts 2 hurt!.!.!.
There is nothing 2 be nervous about tho until u hear that u have 2 get ur teeth pulled!.!.!.
It will start hurting when the braces start 2 cut the inside of ur mouth!.!.!.
But always where the wax the dentist gives u 2 put on ur braces 2 make it smooth and keep from cutting ur mouth!.!.!.
So be sure u wear the wax and everything will be good
But dont be nervous!.!.!.
Everything will be fine for now!.!.!. I Promise
All the pain, if any Will all be worth it! Everyone I know that had braces said that everything was worth it!.!.!.
But when u get them off be sure 2 wear ur retainer or they will get crooked, I am 99% sure that ur teeth will go back crooked if u dont wear a retainer!.!.!. Just letting u know :)

Sorry if I was of no help
Wish u all the luck
:)

I don't even remember when my braces were put on, but I do remember the dreaded adjustments!. It wasn't so painful in the dentist office, but you knew that it would hurt later!. Just take some ibuprophen or ask for a prescription pain killer from the Dentist, or see a Doctor!. Just don't hit your teeth,and wear a mouth guard when you sleep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i got mine on just under a year ago!.
while they're being put on it might be a bit uncomfortable because the thing they use to hold your mouth open can cut a bit but its bearable!. just be prepared to dig your nails into your leg a bit!. =P
afterwards it will be a bit weird feeling but it just takes some getting used to!. and for the first few days it might hurt but just stick to soft foods and smoothies and you'll be fine!

it really isn't as bad as it sounds though believe me, you will be absolutely fine!

good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

got mine last sunday!.

it hurt like hell the first 2-3 days!. at first it didn't hurt at all but then overnight it started to hurt so bad i wanted to pull my teeth out!. it hurt to eat anything !! (including rice pudding) :)
but don't worry after a week it'll be perfectly fine!.

it'll also start cutting the inside of your mouth a little but that'll get better too in about 3 daysWww@Answer-Health@Com

eat all you can before you go in!. youll thank me!. they dont hurt at all!. the only time after they hurt is a few hours after you get them on and your teeth start moving!. but people say going in always hurt but never did!. i had an rpe to expand my mouth wider and that only hurt because of an infection!. from the part snapping!. you can still eat anything you normally do!. i chewed ice, ate candy, lemons!. only thing is be a tad more carefull with bitting into things!. also apples suck because the outer skin gets stuck inbetween the gapsWww@Answer-Health@Com

For some reason mine hurt more than others!.
Mine didn't start hurting until maybe 45 minutes to an hour after I had gotten them on!.
It was so bad for me, like it hurt even when I wasn't moving my jaw!.
But hey, Everyones different!.
GOOD LUCK, They're worth it, and only hurts for a bout a week and then again when you get them AdjustedWww@Answer-Health@Com

i had braces twice before!. you typically don't feel pain when they put them on, but you should start to feel pain within 24 hrs!. when you have your braces taken off, they feel much better!. But don't worry, after a few days to a week, you get used to it, and don't even notice it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have just recently got mine off!
when you first get them on it doesn't hurt, its just very loud!.
After about a 3-5 days, the pain starts to kick in!.
but its not to bad, you will live!
The part that hurts most is when you get them tightened!.
Don't be nervous, it will all be worth it!
GOOD LUCK!Www@Answer-Health@Com

No they don't hurt at all!. You hardly even feel it, i'd say it feels kinda like getting your teeth cleaned!. I didn't even notice when she was done, she told me and i was lik oh okay!.
Just remember to wear chapstick because they stretch your lips alot!Www@Answer-Health@Com

No it doesn't hurt when they put them on!. It's a couple hours later when they really start to hurt!. Not the braces themselves, but they make your teeth feel like they're all going to fall out!. This will go away in a couple days!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it depends! i had the kind of braces that tighten when it feels heat!. So it started hurting after about an hour!. Lets just say your meals for the week are yogart and soup! its not that bad, just dont bump your chin too hard! that hurts!Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok i would say spacers are more saw than braces, but no they don't hurt when they are getting put on but within 2 hours it will START to hurt!.!. im not gunna lie to you!.
but enjoy your new teeth =] xo!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it won't hurt your teeth but it will make it uncomfortable for the inside of your lip, and no they don't hurt when they put them on, they just glue it on and taking them off is so easyWww@Answer-Health@Com

They don't hurt when they're actually being put on, but later they'll be sore!. Take some advil before you go in!. That way, it'll kick in by the time you're sore!. (: Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
