I was scared at first too, but it's really not that bad!.

It doesn't hurt at all for them to put them on!. If you're a gaggy person, it might be annoying because they put a thing in your mouth while the cement is setting to keep your teeth dry, but they take it out after not too long!.

After a couple of hours, the soreness kicks in!. My top teeth hardly bothered me at all, but my bottom teeth gave me a little bit of a headache (they were soooo crooked)!. As long as you take an asprin or some kind of pain killer right after you get them on, the pain shouldn't be too bad!.

It takes a couple meals to get used to eating with them, and they may rub on your cheeks at first, but really, I promise, It's not that bad!.

I'd give them a 4 out of 10 on the pain scale!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't listen to other people they're just trying to scare you! It all depends on your pain tolerance level!. For some people, they don't even hurt!. I have braces and they hurt for about a week to a week and a half, but like I said everyone's different!. Just take an Advil before you get them on to help slow the pain!. You can eat the day you get them just eat soft foods for the first few weeks!. I was really scared too!. On a scale of 1-10 it really all depends!. After about 3 weeks its like they're not even there! Also, your ortho!. should give you wax to put on the bracket to ease your pain!.

Hope I helped! ?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh God! Those people who said that it hurts for 5 months are very dramatic!. They don't hut, but they feel very very very weird!. They do make it a pain to eat for the first 3 days and they will actually hurt when you go to the orthodontist every month for him/her to change the wires or just do their magic!. Don't worry, I was just as scared as you were but take it from me you'll live :)!. And besides think of it this way have a little discomfort once a month, for about 3 years BUT you have a beautiful smile for the rest of your life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My daughter is 11 and just got braces!. When they were put on, she had to eat soft foods and take tylenol for about two days, same thing when they tighten up the braces!. She has had them on for about six months, and her teeth look beautiful!. I suppose if you're happy with the results then the pain will be worth it!. She's kind of a baby about pain sometimes, but not so much about the braces, so I'm assuming it's not that bad!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
