does braces hurt on the first day?!
Question: Does braces hurt on the first day?
Answers:
Don't worry I am 10 too and I got my braces on 2 months ago. I was super nervous because my friend told me they hurt like crazy and that I better buy pain killers. When I got them on it didn't hurt at all! The next day they were a little sore but don't worry. ;) I recommend you eat soft foods like soup, bread, etc.
Good Luck :)

Don't be nervous! It'll be over with soon. When you get it, it takes a while. Afterward, you just keep rubbing back and forth over the brackets since you're not used to it. It's actually sort of interesting. The first day is alright. The next day however, it will be really sore. Just listen to your orthodontist on what's best for you! Use your waxes so that they don't irritate the insides of your mouth. After about a week it'll be better. Don't eat really hard foods. Don't eat any hard foods at all, actually. It's extremely painful that way. Just think of it this way - By the end, you'll have amazing, beautiful teeth!
I have braces myself(x Soon to be removed!
I was really nervous before I got mine, because I thought it would hurt while putting them on, but it didnt at all. It DID hurt afterwards. And the next 5 days after that xD Its not that bad though. Just take alot of Ibuprofen or other pain killers. You can probably take some ibuprofen before you go to the dentist so that you dont feel uncomfortable there.
Ive had braces for 3 years and my mom is a dentist.
Omg i remember on the first day they hurt a bit. It justfelt weird and your teeth feel tightened. But they hurt like hell for two weeks after getting your braces so they recommend you to take an advil or something. Dont worry after two weeks you wont even realize its there and theres so more pain :)
my experience
dont be nervous, you should be excited!!!
my braces didnt start hurting until a few hours after i got them on, and that lasted for a few days, but whenever i took some advil, it helped a lot. but it still hurt to chew, so i just stuck to eatting soft foods.
i have braces and have had them for about 2 years now, im 16. im close to getting them off now
They hurt the first day, but worse the next day. I have braces and could barley eat anything for a week! Take lots of Advil and try and eat before you get your braces because there's gonna be alot of pain.
i've had braces for 2 years now.
