Does getting braces on hurt?!


Question: Does getting braces on hurt?
I might need to get braces on this year and I'm freaking out!! Does it hurt when the dentist puts them on? I don't care about the pain AFTER they put it on. I just wanna know if the process of putting them on hurts. Please help me!

Answers:

When they put the brackets in your mouth it will get sore for being open so long... *gums might hurt*
There will be some slight pressure on your teeth-- and if your teeth are sensitive to sensory *hot/cold* then that will happen as well... But mostly it depends on how strong your teeth are, how they need to be corrected, and what type of orthodontist you have. (Mine isnt the best so I don't get the any comments such as "does it hurt" or "This is going to hurt".)

I am currently in my 2nd year of having braces- getting them off in 8 months!! :D



i've had braces on twice and the process to getting braces on doesn't hurt at all
but before you get your braces they have to make molds which are horrible and uncomfortable
when you get your braces on you feel pressure and it feels VERY VERY wierd ;the feeling of the braces against your lips but you get used to it. the pain usually comes the next day which is the normal stuff you hear about like aches and soreness and sensitivity. tylenol can help you bear with the pain but the actual process of getting your braces on doesnt hurt, you just feel pressure

I had braces twice



The process of getting them on shouldn't hurt. It can be uncomfortable because you have to keep your mouth open for an hour or more during the application. It depends on what kind of braces the orthodontist uses. Some braces are applied one bracket at a time, others can be applied through a sort of "mouthguard" technique. Neither way is particularly painful.

I've had both kinds of braces.



no, doesnt hurt at all when they are putting them on. ive had braces for a bit over 3 years, getting them on was fine, they dont usually hurt until a few hours after getting them on. but getting them on doesnt hurt. no need to freak out :)



Don't worry at all about getting them on, that's the easiest part! However if your lips are dry, it might be a little painful because of them stretching your mouth but besides that you'll be fine! :)

I've had braces fir 2 years



No, Not at all. I got braces 6 months ago and getting them on did not hurt at all. Though a few days after they felt so weird and it will feel weird eating stuff for a few days.

Experience



I don't remember it hurting at all. But it does help to put some vaseline on your lips beforehand, as they will stretch your lips out. Good luck.



No but it will feel funny and there will be some pressure. It doesn't hurt though.
