How long do braces hurt? When will I get used to them?!


Question: How long do braces hurt? When will I get used to them?
I just go braces, and they hurt like crazy! How long will they hurt? My teeth are really crooked, Okay and will they be better by Monday? Monday is my birthday, and I don't really want to be in pain on my birthday. What about next Friday (Christmas) aaaah I hate these!

Answers:

in comparison, Its kinda like having a period. Its gonna hurt for a few days every month when they get tightened. Some times there gonna hurt worse, like when a wire comes lose or you get the oh so fun rubber bands. You'll get used to them in a few months and when you get them off, its gonna feel really good.



it depends. Mine hurt for about 3 days at first when I got them, I had a friend though that was normal by dinnertime the day she had hers on, and I have another friend who didn't eat solid food for a week. A lot of it depends on which wire and bands are in right now. after that, it's a little sore every time you have them adjusted. I don't think you'll ever get used to them though, they are still uncomfortable and intrusive and I'm at 2 1/2 years. :( good luck!



They should stop hurting within a week or so. It just depends on your sensitivity. Everytime you get them tightened, its going to hurt. A lot.



usually the pain will be over in less than a week possibly 3-4 days

Week



they stop hurting after about a week
