I'm getting braces in a few weeks, does it hurt to get them on ?

Well braces don't hurt when you get them. They hurt "After" you get them. Firs they put the spacers in your teeth to separate the back teeth so they can fit the band on. I think spacers hurt and it feels like a piece of meat between ur teeth. lol. You wear them for a week. Then for the braces they take the spacers out. Then they put the band in. That is the only thing that kind of hurts to get you braces. When they finally get the right band that fits your tooth, they glue it on. Trust me, try to keep you tongue back as far as possible. They glue tastes HORRIBLE! lol, yeah, I kinda accidently tasted some of it. Anyways they wait for the glue to dry. Then when they get the bands on all 4 of your back teeth, the start putting the brackets in. The brackets are the small metal thing on the front teeth to hold the wire. Again, do not taste the glue...Then you should have all the brackets and bands on. Finally the wire! They put the wire on and snip off and extra pieces at the end. Tell them if it is poking. I have damon braces so I didn't need the color bands, because it had a gate. But for the bands, they put the color bands on each tooth to hold the wire in. Just pick your favorite color. I always wanted to pick my colors, but I had were silver. lol.......I would of picked lime green and pink! Don't pick white or clear, because if you eat something it will stain it! Anyways, then they give you wax, just in case it pokes ur cheek. A few hours later the pain kicks in. Take Advil or whatever you take to reduce the pain. Eat soft food like pudding, bananas, soup, and apple sauce. Things you should avoid are anything hard, chewy, and sticky. Mostly candy. Don't forget, no popcorn!!! If anytime before your next visit to your orthodontist, your braces pop off or something, call them ASAP. I hope I helped! ^^
