Answers:
i had braces for 4 years!.
takes a half hour or so to be put on
putting them on doesn't hurt, they just take a qtip with some cement stuff then set the bracket on top, they then set the wire across all the brackets and rubber band it down!. not painfull at all!.
but you will be sore i promise, you'll have to eat soups and stuff they'll be NO chewing lol!. just take some ibuprofin or aleve you'll be fine!.
and when everyone says "they're tightening my braces" they just take the old wire off and put a new one on, that's all!.
but you'll be sore again!. lol
the ortho will give you wax to put over the bad spots, but yes they'll annoy your lips and cheeks, you'll get open sores, thats why you put wax wherever you feel it hurting!.
i have permanent scar tissue in my cheeks i can feel if i touch inside!.
i promise you'll be fine, it's no big deal!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

it doesn't really hurt until they are putting the bar in and tightening it down!. Even then it's not THAT painful, more like uncomfortable!. Some hours after it hurts to bite down on things!. Take a tylenol or aleve or something after you leave (and eat before you go, you won't want to right after and cleaning them is a pain in the butt)

It's worth it though- it took 2 years of braces to get my teeth straight but I'm so glad I did it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am gonna be truthful with u!.
YES, they hurt!.
It takes about 45 minutes!. Just be sure to take a pain killer every time before you get them tightened and it won't hurt as bad!. They are annoying for a little while, but after a while you don't even notice them!. Don't be worried though, you'll be fine!. It's actually pretty cool because you get to pick color for the bands!. My suggestion is hot pink and black!. Sometimes you can get two but not all the time!. Here's how to take care of them:

1!.) Brush ur teeth 4 times a day
2!.) Brush them for 3 minutes each time
3!.) DON'T eat any chewy or hard candy
4!.) Cut down on pop and other sugars
5!.) ABSOLUTELY NO GUM!!!
6!.) Brush longer after you have popcorn
7!.) Floss before bed every night

Take care of them and you will have a beautiful smile when it's all done!. =]

Hope I helped!
Bye!.

it hardly takes less than half an hour if you don't need extractions(removal of some teeth) and it doesn't hurt at all!.!.!.but if you do need it!.!.it will hurt(tolerable) and it might be a process of about 2 days or so!.!.!.depending on the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
