Answers:

No they are not painful. The only time it hurts is when you get them tightened and it is really not even bad then. It is well worth it to get them now so you don't have to get them in the future and your teeth will look nice. Teeth cleanings aren't painful either.



It's not that painful, so I wouldn't worry about it. It might hurt a bit but you'll get used to them pretty soon and a few years later, you'll be glad that you had them. I had braces when I was about that age as well and I cannot even remember getting them put on anymore, so it wasn't very traumatizing or anything. I'd recommend bringing headphones so you can listen to music since it takes awhile if I remember correctly.

Getting your teeth cleaned usually is slightly uncomfortable (depending on if you floss regularly), but it's not that bad. I'd just recommend flossing the days up to the dentist appointment if possible. Also happy birthday for when you turn 16!



Hahahaha its not even close to breaking a bone! It's not painful, just soar when you try to eat for the next few days after you get them tightened. You don't even notice them after 2 weeks. Don't be embarrassed about them, almost everyone has them these days and you will be so thankful that you got them in the future



I have braces and my teeth hardly ever hurt. The first couple days they will,i found out that swishing fluoride helps, they just feel sore for a few days. About every month you will go and get them tighten and then they might hurt a day or two after that too, but over all they don't hurt very often.



I'm 12 and i got my braces when i was 10, when they first put them on the don't hurt at all. It really starts to hurt like 4-5 hours after you get them on. They only hurt like the first day you get them, but every month when you get them tightened they hurt bad for a few days. Just try to avoid eating really hard stuff, like try to eat noodles. Hope this helped!!



No, I had them as an adult which is supposed to be worse and it is not unbearable. The worst part is actually scraping your cheeks at the beginning. The other discomfort can be controlled with regular over the counter medication.

When they're put on yes, but it won't hurt once you get used to it (4-7 days). :D



No, I love them but then I do have an obsession with teeth :-\
