Does it hurt getting braces?

Please tell me the truth!
Answer:
***pink and light blue are cute colors***NEVER get white or clear bands cause white looks like food is stuck in ur braces and clear like it u eat ketchup or a lollipop or somethin, they staink
i have gotton em on over 6 times (dont ask!)it doesnt hurt dont worry-it is just a long process and it tastes kinda badthey give u a band on ur molars fiist, to see ur size and stufffirst theu put this positioner thing is ur mouth, it makes your mouth stretch a lkot so they can see ur teeth, it will bother u for a minute or 2 but u will get used to it, u keep that thing on the WHOLE timethen there are these things that look like shots and stuff, i got really freaked out when i first saw them but actually, they dont go in ur mouth! this is the cement that they put on ur braces then they stick the braces on ur teeth
**the cement kinda tastes bad!they do this the first time and every time u get them tightened:they will put the rubber bands on ur braces with things that look like sisscors (they dont hurt) after that they put the wire-this is the most anoying part cause after they slip it in ur mouth, they have to cut it to make it fit rightthen that is it!Ur done
but after u do it, ask ur doctor for dental wax, and rubber cover upwhen u get home use ACT mouthwash and for the first hour, ur teeth may be a little numb so drink mainly fluids-clear fluidsthen for the first day or 2 ur teeth may be a little sensitive so stick with eating soup, pasta, pudding, jello, beans, yogurt, custard, fries, milkshakes, ice cream, and soft foods-avoid strawsevery night use Peroxyl mouthwash for like a week to keep ur gums storng from cuts and use dental wax and rubber coverups so u wont get blisters, they hurt a little but arent that bad. avoid sleeping on ur side, try to keep ur head straight up for a couple of daysevery morning and every night use the Peroxyl mouthwash again for 2 weeks then after that just use ACT mouthwash to keep ur teeth and gum s healthy. get some Super floss, made for braces-i sugest elictrical toothbrushes they keep ur mouth cleanerdont worry-trust me- i have had my braces on for almost 4 years, i just got em off 7 days ago-i luv my new smile!-Nati
Unfortuantely, yes it does. And it hurts each time they tighten them. But, it doesn't hurt to get them off. It takes forever to get them put on, and they come off really easy. Just remeber, do what the orthodontist tells you to do, and they'll be off that much quicker.
yes but it's worth it, my teeth are now beautiful :D
Initially, it hurts, but you get used to it
Getting them put on - no. It's just awkward.Getting used to them is something that can be painful. For the first few weeks your teeth will be sensitive. It may take a few days to chew very solid foods. It's also the same way when they get tightened. It's more annoying than unbearable.
i just got braces yesterday. Last week they put metal spacers in between my back molars to make room for the braces band. and that hurt the most. But it gave me a week to get used to the awkward feeling of having something in my mouth. (it kinda felt like having food stuck in your teeth)The worst parts so far are the awkwardness of chewing and parts of the braces rubbing against your tongue and cheek. But they give you wax to fix that. Otherwise, I have been taking 2 extra strength tylenol or advil 600mg whenever i feel pain. The pain feeling you feel is mostly a tight feeling or a sensitivity biting down. But everyone keeps saying this will be gone by next week. I hope! ... Hope this helps! :)
I hope you're not going to act like a coward. I had them years ago and yes especially when you finish a visit from the doctor tightening them and I also remember the top braces rubbing against the inside of my top lip. It is worth it and you are very priveledged to get them. Some adults have very protruding teeth or crooked teeth because they wern't so luckey. Grin and bear it as they say.
Yes, absolutely. TAKE MEDICINE BEFOREHAND! And I also strongly recommend arnica(it can be taken with any OTC medicine). It is homeopathic and can be found at most health food stores. It is highly recommended for any and all dental procedures.Anyway, back to the pain. I am sorry to say that it will eventually feel like you've been hit in the mouth with a mallet. Be prepared to not eat solid foods for at least the first day, if not two or three. When they get tightened it will hurt as well, and depending on what is done you may, once again, be off of solids for a day or two(take medicine before then too).
I hope this helped and good luck!
