Does having braces put in hurt?!


Question: Does having braces put in hurt?
I have already had some little rubber bands put in between some of my back teeth, and it has hurt a little bit. I am having my braces put in on Monday and I have heard that they pull your teeth into place. If you have had braces, does it hurt when they are being fitted, and does it hurt after?
Thanks for your help :)

Answers:

When they are fitting it it won't hurt :)

A couple of hours after they fit them, you teeth may feel slightly sore/loose but this is normal. It may be hard to eat for 2 or 3 days, just eat foods like, soup and bread, mash potato, peas, soft meat, baked beans, porridge (if u can stand it), jelly etc.

No hard foods such as toffee, fudge, gum etc, and cut up apples to eat them.

There may be sharp bits of the brace that dig into your cheek, so before you leave, ask your orthodontist to chop off any sharp parts that he can find.

You may find that some parts aren't sharp but are still a bit painful, so use the dental wax your orthodontist gives you (just ask him if u dont' know how to use it)

It aint too bad, so good luck! :)
