I KNOW THIS IS A LOT TO READ BUT TRUST ME ITS WORTH IT IT ANSWERS EVERY THING U NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BRACES!!!!!!

No, I just got my braces on October 21st!. I was so scared at first, because all of my friends said that they hurt!. One girl said that as soon as she got them on, the inside of her top lip bled because the brackets scraped/scratched it!. This got me so nervous, I was like shaking! Amazingly, it doesn't hurt at all! If you have an expander, then you keep that in!. You get your top braces first!. (I haven't gotten my bottom ones yet) After 6-12 months, you get the bottom ones!. (it varies with different people)!. They pull your lips apart with these curved plastic pieces and put you down in the chair!. (it helps if you have a nice orthodontist) lol! Then they clean your teeth, and then do the following one tooth at a time: they put some sort of glue or bonding agent on your tooth, and place a bracket on in the correct position!. They do this to each tooth on the top until you reach the metal band that goes all the way around your tooth!. You know, the thing that you already probably have on!. (you may not have it at all, im not sure)!. Then, they thread the wire through the brackets!. Afterwards, you can pick out different color bands (if you got the braces with colors) and they will use a plastic tool to put them on!. Putting on the bands is the part that hurts the most!. But even this doesn't really hurt! lol it only hurts because they are kind of pulling on your teeth to stretch them around the bracket!. At first, I was scared to take the plastic separators out, because I didn't want my lip to bleed!. So I gathered up my courage and took it out!. Nothing!. Absolutely nothing happened!. It feels for the first 30 seconds as if there is a piece of food stuck on the front of your teeth, but thats it!. Nothing hurts after that, except for the first time you try to eat!.
I'm sorry, but I don't know what it feels like when you get the tightened, because I go in December to get that done!.
Here's a hint about colors: A light yellow can make it look like your teeth are yellowed!. And any dark colors (really dark, especially) from a distance will make it look like there are holes in your teeth-- lol UGLY!!!
Here's a hint about cleaning: I know that it becomes a pain to do this everyday, but you have to because otherwise they turn out all splotchy and SO UGLY!. There is like white and yellow spots all over it!!! Anyway, brush them twice a day, at least, and floss once a day!. They probably won't give you any instructions for the floss threaders!. Thread floss through the threader (needle looking thing) an stick that point down behind your wire and pull off the threader and then floss like usual!. Do this for each tooth!. If they don't give you a COLGATE PHOS-FLUR mouthwash bottle, then BUY ONE!. They might give you something to that effect!.!.!. So use the reccommended amount once a day (or whatever it says) and don't eat or drink within 30 minutes of using it!. Well, I know this is a lot to read, but hopefully it helps! Good luck with your braces! Have fun!Www@Answer-Health@Com

1!. it doesn't feel like you're teeth are gonna come out!. they do have to press these things down around your molars, and it does hurt, but it's not gonna be like a fall out in the floor and cry kind of pain

2!. you can go to school!. it will hurt to bite into things for a while, so find some soft stuff to eat!

3!. when you get them tightened, it's like a less painful version of what you feel after you get them on!. depending on how thick of a wire they put in will decide how bad the tightenings are gonna hurt!. but you'd better get some soft food for that too!Www@Answer-Health@Com

actually, i got something called indirect bonding, and i almost fell asleep when they put them on (so no, they don't hurt like that at first!. they do the first three days afterwards though)

oh no, you can go to school!. just have advil or something (headaches are rare, but a pain when you get them!. and have something to drink, because you won't beable to chew at first)

i don't really remember it hurting or anything!. it's awkeard at first, but you don't notice after a day or twoWww@Answer-Health@Com

ima be straight up w/ u!.!.!.

1!. when you first get them on, they don't hurt at all!.

2!. once you've had'em on for about 2 hours, pain starts kicking in!. actually, i stayed home the next day instead of going to school becuz it did hurt a lot and i wouldn't have been able to eat unless it was sumthin REALLY soft!.

3!. when you get them tightend the first time, its hurts ALMOST but not completely as bad as when you first got them put on!. but, i've only gottem mine tighted once so i dont no if it hurts after that!. but my friends told me, the more you get them tightend, the less it will hurt!.

NOTE: it takes about a week for the pain to go away completely when u get them put on!.!.!.but trust me, once you are used to them, you almost forget you have them until u go to brush your teeth or when you eat sumthing!. or at at least that's what happens to meWww@Answer-Health@Com

when you get them tightened, it feels like when you have a loose tooth!. they arent actually loose, they'll never be loose!. but thats what the pain feels like!. it usually lasts for a couple days
its never anything that will keep you out of school

just when you eat certian tough foods it will hurt your teeth, but pretty much after they're tightened maybe 2 or 3 days after they feel fine!. :]Www@Answer-Health@Com

First and foremost, braces aren't bad at all!

1!. I doesn't feel like your teeth are going to come out!. Having braces put on doesn't hurt at all!.

Push on your teeth with your finger!. Try doing that for hours and hours!. Braces just feel like you are pushing on your teeth but can't remove your finger!. Finally, your teeth just give in to the constant push and begin moving (that's how braces work)!. So, yes, they will feel a little sore- but the soreness I described is what you will feel!. The first day is the hardest because you have to get used to the pressure and your teeth are still fighting the movement, and the bone surrounding the teeth is still hard!. Once your teeth give in to the pressure you will feel better!.

2!. After first checking with your orthodontist, take an ibuprofen and that should help relieve the discomfort and allow you to go to school!. When I got my braces, it was the morning of my very first football game I was going to cheer at (7th grade)!. All day I was doing okay, but by game time, I sat out because I was sore because I didn't take anything to relieve the discomfort!. I missed cheering in my first game! I'll never forget that and that was15 or 16 years ago!

3!.You feel a little pressure when you get them tightened, but never as much as the first time you got the braces on!. Your bone will be softer by that point and will be more free to movement!.

have fun with them! You'll do great :o)Www@Answer-Health@Com

when you're getting them on, you don't feel anything except your mouth might hurt from being stretched so much and for so long so just take some chapstick!.

when you get them on it kind of hurts but i don't think its enough to keep you from going to school!. but i dunno everyones different so i'm not sure

when you get them tightened you just feel a bit of pressure on your teeth for a whileWww@Answer-Health@Com

I just got braces and in the beginning i was sure it was going to hurt!
But surprisingly, it didn't hurt at all!. Of, course everyone is different but i can advise you to take pain medicine right after!. If you do that, it wont hurt you'll just feel a lot of pressure!. About the tightening, it's the same!. Just pressure, but to me it didn't hurt at all!. You really get used to them!Www@Answer-Health@Com

dont worry a bit!. when they put the braces nothing will happen unless you have teeth in the top of your mouth in right and left side they will have to take that out!. that will out!. anyways it wont hurt only a little when they put the rubberbands in to ur mouth!. you better enjoy chewing gum for 2 more weeks!. you wont be able to eat gum if you got braces!. dont be scared!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay, i hav braces and when they put them on they don't push really hard, they do each little brace thing one at a time, when i was getting them on she was twisting some things and they press on your teeth but not that hard, so they don't press really hard!. But they hurt really bad after!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

when they put it on, it does not hurt but when you wait a day, it hurts soo bad! Like I was at school and my teeth was soo annoying me and it hurted sooo bad, even the back of my teeth! They give you wax to cover your brackets or whatever so they won't hurt you! Yeah your teeth hurts when a day is past! It doesn't hurt when they put them on!.\
You will get use to it like i did!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have had braces before and the first few days you have them !.!.!. yeah they will heart but not that bad that you would skip school(nice try)!. when you get them tighten it just feels tighter!. o harm done!. but you should brush your teeth at least twice a day or else your teeth will be ruined because of the metal in the braces!. but just remember to work those braces! and at the end of the journey you will have beautiful teethWww@Answer-Health@Com

i personally don't think it ever hurt!! getting them on, tighted, or anything!!! it feels a little weird for about a day, then it's all good!! i don't personally think it hurt at all!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
