Answers:

Oh, I feel for you. BRACES SUCK.
1.) They don't hurt while they're putting them on, it'st just really REALLY uncomfortable. I don't know about your dentist, but mine put all these plastic contraptions in mouth to keep it open while they were working, and afterwords my lips felt all stretched and dry. They keep coming at you with all these hostile-looking pointy instruments/metal scalpels/ray guns and then they stick them in your mouth and fiddle aroud and it's a bit nervewracking, not knowing what they're doing in there. The main pain is AFTER they're done putting them on. Your braces are basically tightening your teeth and squishing them together and realigning your gums, so the next day your teeth will be sore as HELL. That happens to me every time I get my braces tightened, and my mouth is in pain for a week! However, most people the soreness only lasts 3-4 days.
Also, with braces you're gonna get mouth sores, scars, and cuts onthe inside of your mouth. That hurts a lot in the beginning as well, but don't worry, after a while you'll get used to them.

2.) It all depends on how good you take care of your braces, if all your adult teeth have grown in yet, all kinds of stuff. There's no telling. But if your mouth has mostly straight teeth and isn't too bad, I'd say about 1-2 years.

3.) Sorry, I'm not sure about that one.

Braces are pretty bad, and I can't wait to get mine off, but hey, it's gonna be worth it when you have a beautiful smile! :D

I'm a braceface!



1: ok well the braces hurt so much because there not just gluing and wiring stuff to your teeth the wires are constantly pushing your teeth in to place the brackets are just there to hold the wire.

2: its not just about having a bad over bite the doctors will also check for gaps and crooked teeth this can take quite a while so i wouldn't expect for you to get them off any time soon

i have had braces for 3 1/2 years



ok i only know number1 and its because the wires and tightening your teeth so it gets pretty tight
