Answers:
they hurt like hell, but honey, they are WORTH IT! you'll be fine the day after you get them!. Just take some tylonal before you get the braces and then follow the directions on how often to take them for the next 3 days, cuz they will hurt while to shift your teeth into place!. Also do that after you get major rubber band changes! but going to school the next day will be fine! plus you get to show off your sweet smile!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have them, so I know, and I was not as sore as I thought that I would be!. Yes, it hurt, but it wasn't going to keep me home from what I was doing that day!. Besides what can you do at home, that you can't do at school to help your teeth!? I can promise that braces will hurt, but it's not a good enough excuse not to go to school!. You will be very capable of going to school, with the braces on, and I promise people will actually be like, "Wow, she has braces!" It's funny that people notice and get a little excited about it, but for some reason people notice, and they tell you how exciting that it is, because the result of braces is so worth it, and I know that that is how people reacted towards me, when I went to work, everyone came up and was saying things like, "Wow, you have braces! How cool, you will be so excited when you start to notice how pretty your teeth are going to look!" So seriously it's true, and you are going to like having the braces! Weird I know, but seriously! Things will look great! Just be happy, and don't worry about how they hurt, they aren't that bad! Smile big! (:Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah they hurt but they're not debilitating!.

they will hurt when you first get them on and every time you get them tightened (when the wire across gets changed) but it won't be crippling pain!.

you will just have to eat soft foods and be sure to clean them often (food can get stuck in there, you know!)

make sure you get the wax to put on there, and get ibuprofen or some good pain medicine hehe!.

good luck, braces hurt a little but they're worth it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

They certainly will hurt for a while, maybe up to a week!. After this they become only an annoyance, depending on your view on them!. you can go to school the day after you get them, I don't see any reasons why you couldn't!. Don't be nervous though!. Its not as bad as they all make it sound!. Try 2 think about how your teeth will look after they're off, and the time will fly by fast!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When you first get them, there will be alot of pressure on your teeth
I went to school the same day I got them and my teeth hurt a bit and I ate SOUP at lunch!. And your lip will hurt a little for the first day or 2 cause it's not used to the metal pushing against it!. BUT on the pkus side, your teeth get ALOT whiter when you have braces, people ask me if I got them whittend but its natural! It's crazy cause there pitch white!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Braces hurt when you first get them, especially when you are eating food!. The pain typically goes away after about a week or so!. You can definitely go to school straight after you get them!. It may hurt, but no badly enough to stay home from school!. My advice would be to just take a pain reliever to ease the pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wore braces for four years and just got them off this past september!. You will feel pressure on your teeth for about 2 or 3 days after you get them and after everytime you get them tightened but it isn't unbearable!. Yes, you will be able to go to school but you won't be able to eat pizza (for example) or anything too hard!.!.!. Espescially chips!. They're are a lot of rules when it comes to having braces! Just do you're best to follow those rules and when they come off you will have a beautiful smile! Keep ur chin up! I was very nervous before I got my braces and I didn't love having them and I complained all the time, I would always tell my mom that if it wasn't for her I wouldn't be in pain, but really it is the best thing her and my dad could have done for me, I love my perfect teeth!. Trust my honey it is WELL WORTH IT! Good Luck! I wish you the best! SMILE!Www@Answer-Health@Com

it didnt hurt for me at all , it just takes a while to get used to!. after about a week you get used to it and you dont even notice that they are there!. but it also all depends on how sensitive your mouth is to having little pieces of metal stuck to your teeth!. =) and ya i got my braces in the morning and then i went to school straight from there!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no they do not hurt at all!.!.one thing though after u get them you will not like the way they look!.!.when i first got them i wanted to cry cuz it looked so horrible but then after a few days of getting used to them they didn't look so bad!.!.u will be able to go to school the next day!.!.dont drink soda because soda causes the braces to get loose and your gona have to go back to the dentist to re-glue the bracket!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Im getting mine off in 3 weeks! WOW! this is fun!.!.!.braces are a new experience and totally unnoticalble after a while!. as for the going to school thing, i went to school the day i got mine on!. brave it up, youll be fine!. for like a week it will be sore but it will wear off TRUST ME! and you can chew gum and stuff just no caramel!. thats about it! good luck!!!!! ; DWww@Answer-Health@Com

braces hurt for about a week or so, and then when wires are changed they can be sore for about three days!. but if you take two excedrin before you get them on, and two before each re-visit, there shouldnt be much pain and you could go to school the next day!.

dont worry, i had braces for 3 years, and it wasnt bad at all!. the only annoying part was that it was hard to brush in certain places, lol!. but now my teeth are perfectly straight! yours will be too dont worry :)

good luck, and try to stay away from the sweets a lot!. i ate a lot of sweets and pop and i have a filling now \: just a heads up!. but you'll be fine! good luck with the bracesWww@Answer-Health@Com

they do hurt but only for about a day or two!. when you first eat you won't be able to chew!. What i did was just eat reallysoft foods, like puddings, bananas, jellos, cake, sandwhichs, and anything else!. Or you can try cutting up youfood in small peices and eat it that way! Hope this helps!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

My braces did not hurt when they PUT THEM ON!.

They hurt at first and they're uncomfortable when they get tightened, but it's not bad enough to keep you out of school!. Just take a tylenol before you go in to get them put on!. You'll be fine, though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
