Does getting braces hurt?!
Question:
Does getting braces hurt?
I am getting braces in 2 weeks and I've asked people with braces if it hurts, few tell me it's excrutiating pain, and others tell me "Ah, it doesn't hurt at all." I don't know what to think.
Answers:
Well, it USED to hurt horribly (I never had braces, but my husband did and so did my sister), but now they use new wiring that REALLY reduces the pain. I know this because my son's orthodontist explained it all to me...my son got his braces about 3 or 4 weeks ago and had very little, if any, pain.
