It depends on your situation, if there is space already between your teeth than the spacers wont hurt so bad. If youre like me and the teeth were crowded the spacers hurt really bad and it feels like your teeth will fall out! With braces its way better, when I first got them they kept rubbing on the inside of my mouth and I had to use wax a lot, but dont because your mouth has to get used to them and then you wont need it anymore. After you get them adjusted is the worst part, and its not bad at all really, than it gets better, until you get them tightened again. The spacers are the worst part, but it is all worth it in the end, my face and smile look so much prettier! =]
Spacers were a living hell for me! lol
It was so painful, but I took Motrin all the time so it wasn't too too bad.
spacers aren't bad and braces hurt for a little while after they are tightened- just take advil and all will be good :)
They may ache for a day or so, but they are not too bad. The pain is when the braces actually go on and that will last about two weeks. I would recommend that you eat soft foods for at least a week.
Remember no carrots or popcorn (that's what my orthodontist said anyway).
They hurt like a mother for an hour then you can't feel it until you bite down or touch them. Take an advil or painkiller right before your apointment. and take some with you.
braces are horrible
braces definatly hurt when you first get them.. mine hurt for about 5 days, i felt like i couldnt eat. it didnt hurt when you get them put on.. and other than the first few days its good. braces are a blessing and you will be so glad you got them.
just take advil before you go, it hurts but you get used to it. nothing to be worried about.
When you first get the braces it doesent hurt that bad but it can be sore a little while later, but it hurts bad when you have to crank the braces tighter, but you will be glad you got them in the long run.
Braces are wayyyy better than a spacer. Trust me. I've gone through everything. lol Braces don't hurt getting them on or off but the spacer was a living nightmare.
Have fun! But it'll be worth it in the end. My teeth are so straight now and I love them. ;)
