I'm looking into getting braces, I'm an adult, my mother who was a single parent couldn't afford them, so I"m gonna go ahead and have my teeth straightned, finally.. I'm noticing the answers to the question asked about how long do you have to wait to get braces after the intial appt. Why does it take so long?, why can't they be done with in a week or two? One or two months seems like such a long time.
Answer:
If you're in America, yes, it really does take that long. My first appointment (initial consultation + xrays) was on May 1st and I still haven't gotten my braces on yet. I had to go get my teeth cleaned then spacers put in, bands fitted and impressions made, and I am now waiting for my expander and Herbst appliance to be sent in from Georgia. It would probably be just a month or so if you're only getting braces, though.
American, aren't you ?
I'm from a country where it takes about a week between the time you have your teeth checked and the time they put braces :-)
well i live in england..and here my braces r free and my appointment ws on june 12th and the ortho said im gettin braces on september 21st cuz i need my teeth taken out so it will give tem time to heal and stuff!!and plus they have lots of patients.
i call for a appt. for consultation in May 15. the early appt they had July 11. i asked is that earliest,. they told me. he going on vacation. what a good time to go on vacation just when the school get out of school. his hours i didn't like 9-4 . hes in the area where intermediate go 8:30-4:00. that the ages that that kids have braces. i finally found one. i did have to wait for 2 weeks for my consultation.

Does it matter wat kind of tooth brush u use for your teeth?
Answer:
Dentists recommond never using a hard brush, either soft or medium.
Yes, it matters.
The hard brushes are tough on your gums and the tooth enamel.
Should be soft bristles, not hard because that can damage your teeth and the gums can start receding
Yes... it depends on how healthy your gums are too...
somewhat - as mentioned, don't use hard...I don't even give my patients "medium" ; i give soft or extra soft. ther'es some evidence that an electric brush, espcially the Sonicare, will provide superior plaque removal to a manual.Anyone who isn't really old, really young, disabled or just ignorant SHOULD be able to get the same results w/ just a manual brush, BUT people usually aren't careful enough, so the electrics have an advantage there.
My dentist always gives me a soft toothbrush! Hard toothbrushes are rough on your teeth they can hurt the enamel on your teeth!
I used to brush real hard and had to replace tooth brush every month or so. It was my special way of getting my teeth real white. Now my gum has receded and the crowns on my teeths are worned out. As a result, my teeths are sensitive to hot and cold. Also, there is phantom cavity pain. My teeth hurt like as if I have a cavity. But my dentist tells me that I have no cavity. The pain is from the receded gum. Use soft brush and brush gently. Use a brush with bent neck to reach to back end. And floss...
DOES it HURT!!?
I went to the dentist yesterday and he said I needed to get my wisdom teeth taken out! So I am getting them out next week!! They are not even coming through my gums yet! I have to get all of them taken out. Does it hurt? What restrictions will I have?
Answer:
Everyone is different. The anesthesia will kick you butt... that will be the bad part. Waking up you will be very cold %26 hard to get comforable. The taste will be aweful... you will probable throw up... don't be scared, this is normal, just be prepared for the car ride home w/ paper towels, a blanket, a trash bag and something to throw up in. After about 4 days you will be great again. You will sleep for 3 days! Go shopping for soft things to eat before hand... puddings, soups, jello's, and something you like to drink and chap stick, to keep you lips form getting yucky!
Have that fav blanket and pillows ready for when you get home!
You will do fine.. my daughter is a whiny baby, and this was our experience!
Good luck. and don't worry, just be prepared!
If your wisdom teeth have not grown through the gums yet then I would recommend being under sedation during the procedure. This will make it easier for you and the doctor as well. As far as pain, you will be fine during the procedure, but pain and swelling is the worst about 72 hours after the surgery. Post op pain is easily managed with medications. You will be fine.
Every person is different. Since you don't have them coming through yet, I'm guessing they have to cut them out.
They had to with mine and I was completely put under. My Dr. then gave me a prescription for a pain killer and anti-inflamatory combined. I had no swelling and was eating french fries the next day. I had to chew at the front of my mouth only, but I didn't have a lot of pain.You will have to be careful what you eat as food can get stuck back where they take your teeth out. I was stupid and ate rice about 3 days later and got a little piece stuck and had to dig it out.They will give you instructions on what not to eat and what to do to take care while it heals.Good luck!
You won't even feel them while your wisdom tooth is being pulled out. But, after the procedure, you will feel a little pain but they are tolerable.
ok, i would suggest making them put you asleep while this is happening. not that it hurts, it just feels VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, like someone is pulling(but not painfully)
on your teeth. i had to get a couple teeth pulled out, and let me tell you, they put me to sleep while they were doing it, and I WAS SO HAPPY that they did it too. and i hope i helped=]
Okay...your wisdom teeth are impacted. Mine were just like that, too. I'll tell you something, if I had the chance to do it all over again, I WOULD! You go into the doc's office and they sit you comfortably in a reclined chair. They will start you on an IV...ask them to numb your vein first. They give you a tiny shot in the vein in the hand. It really doesn't hurt...you'll feel a little pain there, but nothing that would even make someone flinch. A couple minutes pass...they start the IV...I didn't even know they had begun the IV on me. When the fluid starts going, you'll feel cold. Ask for a blanket. They will give you one and then they will lightly strap your arms to the armrests of the chair. Nothing to be worried about. Via IV, they will give you "white juice"...this will put you under general anesthesia. You won't even know when you pass out. It will be a dreamless sleep that you don't even really remember. You think you will have just closed your eyes and opened them again.
When you wake up, there will be gauze on the inside of your mouth to soak up the blood. You will have to change these frequently. Your jaw sides will ache a bit, but not sharp pains that will make you cry. The doc will give you antbiotics to prevent infection and some good painkillers. Your gums in the top and bottom jaw will have dissolveable stitches...you really won't even know that they are there. For a few days, you will be sleeping a LOT, taking your meds and going back to sleep, but no drinking through a straw (they can give you dry sockets. That's when the vacuumlike pressure causes the tooth sockets to open back up. Ouch.)! Slowly, you will begin to start eating normal foods...but much smaller bites and very carefully. Later on, if all the stitches haven't completely dissolved, the doc will simply cut the threads (which remind me of dental floss, only more like rubber/plastic...they are very soft)...and it is completely painless. If I had the choice to do this all over again, I would...I really would. I slept soooo well and the painkillers are great. Don't put off getting impacted teeth out. I did and they pushed all my teeth forward. They are slightly crooked now because of it. Getting my wisdoms out was a great experience. Don't be afraid!
yes, but only for a while. i had mine taken out and it was really sore, but mine were really bad, they shouldn't have been taken out. some people react differently to pain. just relax and it will be over and done with, if it hurts after, take some paracetamol or something.

Does it hurt when you get your braces put on and off ?
Answer:
Also when they tighten them!!
No and No. After they were put on, they were sore for a couple days, but nothing unbearable.
It depends.
But usually all you feel is a little pressure when getting them off.
and when getting them tightened.
Not really, just when they tighten them, make sure you take tylenol befor you get them tightened!
it doesnt hurt at all to get them put on just afterwards it will be sore, and i don't have mine off yet but i've heard that it doesnt. You might feel pressure when you get them off though. You usually get them tightened every 2-3 months and thats not as bad as everyone makes it sound. it doesnt really hurt at all while they tighten them but a few hours later it does. It still isnt that bad just achy and you start to get used to it.
i'm getting my braces in a week. my ortho says it will hurt w/o anesthesia but fortunatly i'm getting anesthesia(but it will still hurt like a bad pinch)
Usually, braces only hurt when first put on and during tightenings. If you are getting braces soon, after you get them on, there may be some soreness for a few days. Remember this is totally normal.During tightenings (about once a month) your teeth will feel sore as well. Your orthodontist is tigthening the braces to your teeth, so you may feel a little bit of pain for a couple days post each tightening.Not to worry though, your braces experience will only last for about two years. Afterwards, you come out with a radiant smile!
when they put the barces on it is a bit painful when they attach the wire to certain teeth and the mouthwash cleaning/whitening stuff tastes minging and when he puts metal rings on the back teeth it scrapes yoor teeth a bit until they find the right size and for me tightening didnt hurt at alll but if it does point your feet and clench yoor fists and sing a song in your head or count the squares on the ceiling or bite if you bite hard enough they will stop hehe but it is different for everyone. I heavnt had my braces off yet :D
Does it hurt when they put the bands on and does it hurt after/later? Which hurts more?
I currently have 6 spacers on and I'm 13. I'm getting the bands put on during my next appointment which is on July 4th. Does it hurt when they;re putting it on and does it hurt after/later? Which hurts more? And on July 18th I'm getting my braces put on. Does the braces hurt? Does the braces hurt more or does the bands hurt more? IM SCARED! @#$%^%26* Please help!
Answer:
Both of my sons got braces recently. The first one had pain every time they tightened his braces, but it usually only lasted one day each time. The other one has had very little pain, even when they added the bands.
You can't tell until it happens.
Good luck.
I don't know what the heck your talking about you need braces on before you get bands duh and second of all the band hurt when you get them on the second time you get your braces tightened.

Does it hurt when my braces get put on?
I just got spacers put in and it hurt a little bit. I am wondering if it hurts when you get braces put on. I'm exited to get them, but I don't know if it hurts alot.
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 stain***they put the bands, and then every time u go back u get to choose new colorsk
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 6 days ago-i luv my new smile!-Nati
Its not too bad getting them on. Taking them off sucks.
Like hell.
Depends, brackets or bands? Bands hurt brackets, not so much.
it does not hurt when the orthodontist is actually putting them on u...but it does the night after u get them
From what I gather, its a dull annoying pain. You would have to feel something, as your teeth are being shifted the entire time your wearing braces. I think its bothersome only initially and on your visits where you get them tightened. The pain can't be that bad though, so many kids get them at very young ages.
Braces hurt at first and for a little while after you get them re-tightened thereafter. Otherwise it's alright and you forget you're wearing them.
i have them right now and trust me, they don't hurt at all! i was a little scared cause people told me it hurts and i hate pain lol, but when they put them on, you don't feel a thing! good luck with your braces. =)
trish, try this link and good luckhttp://www.bracesinfo.com/teen3.html...PongSmart
*don't forget to vote me the best answer, ok
it can get sore so i wuld suggest taking some kind of painkiller before u go in
No way, spacers are a lot worse because they're literally pushing your teeth around. Braces are just metal brackets glued to your teeth and don't hurt at all. Now, they may be uncomfortable at first just because you're not used to them, but the process of getting them put on, no, does not hurt.
not at that moment but for a little bit after...
have lots of Tylenol befor you go
rember its worth it because nice teeth after!
good luck i had mine on for 19 months and dang it hurts a little at first eat lots and lots of soup
the 2 day is the worst!
i got braces on like 2 weeks ago.i love them but in the first week they hert.not alot though it was just had to eat stuff and it hert when i like touched my top teath with the bottom.they only her for like a week (take pain reliver) and i might go away a little sooner
it does when they put the bands on the brackets the just stick on ur teeth.. after u dont feel anything then when u get them tightened it hurts for a few minutes then it goes away after u get them off it feels weird and feels like u have something on ur teeth so ur always moving ur tongue around on them

I can feel strange, n a little tight when the braces are on, also a bit bulky. I can also make your cheeks a little sore n get cut.
yeah...a little. it is an annoying pain that you get after you get them tightened. Tylenol or Advil helps a lot.
It hurts some, but it's reasonable, otherwise they .wouldn't
do it to every kid in america! It's like breaking in a new
pair of shoes, it's sort of uncomfortable, but not a sharp
pain. You take advil or tylenol and it's manageable.
good luck!
I got my braces in may. Take two advil before you go!! The first day it was a little sore. You just can't bite down at all. Eat soft stuff like apple sauce, ect. My teeth stopped hurting in three days. I only used the wax once on my back left band, but thats all. The sores will go away in about a week or two if you use the mouth was and the numbing paste for the pain.
I don't think it hurt at all, but my friends said they hurt a lot. I think it depends on how sensitive or crooked your teeth are? I'm not sure. When they're stretching your mouth open for 5 minutes, it's very uncomfortable, but when that's done it doesn't hurt. It does feel strange, though. Good luck (:
it definatly feels different but it only hurts depending on how bad your teeth are. like me, i had spaces in between my teeth so they hurt kinda a ton a little while after i got my braces on but my twin brother had like an over bite or something so i didnt really hurt him that much. just stalk the fridge wiht TONS of applesause and yogurt haha :) i miss my braces i loved them! haah dont ask me why

Does it hurt when i get spacers put in?? Does it hurt when you get braces on? How long after does it hurt?
8 days till braces. 4 days till spacers.
Answer:
the spacers do not hurt at all
it hurts way more when u are an adult because as a kid ur teeth are growing so they can move aorund unlike adult teeth which are all firm so u are lucky***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 stain***they put the bands, and then every time u go back u get to choose new colorsk

my spacers didnt hurt. they were just annoying...felt like i had food stuck in my teeth. getting braces on didnt hurt at all!! after having them on your teeth feel "pressured" like tight..haha it feels good acutally. although the next day your teeth will be sore from moving, they even might be loose a little.advil, works wonders!! that pain shouldnt really last more than a day or two, and it only hurts when you try to chew something
-doesn't hurt when they put it on.
-pressure at the very most but no pain
-after that day maybe hurts to bite for a while because ur teeth shifted, maybe for a couple weeks
-never had "spacers"
-dont forget to brush
Um when i got my spacers it didnt really hurt they where just always in the way... and my braces the first time... um they hurt a little and then you are pretty sore after my advice is to take some motrin before you go into to get them on... and eat like ice cream after it feels great... hope it helps...:]
I didnt use spacers but I did get my braces today...I've had them for 7 hours now Lol. Anyways,when they're putting your braces on %26 stuff..it doesnt hurt.Dont believe what the other users say about "it hurted a lot when they put them on"..etc.
But like a few hours later...you'll feel a small ache.Like for me,I got them on around 10:45 AM.It'll take about 1 hour.Then like 2 PM I ate lunch and when u bite,the ache will start.Then I brushed my teeth %26 it took me a while cuz I had to floss %26 stuff.The floss they give u is different than the one u should use regulary.The increase of the pain depends on how hard u brush...so be gentle...Right now it's 6:45 ish...it hurts a little bit more.But it's not like a "OMG!! I want 2 take them off!" type of pain...But dont worry.It'll all be worth it at the end.U'll see... : ]
i would say it doesn't hurt. I had braces for 3 years. it is a sore feeling. you will be a little sore when you get them put on and every month when you go to get the braces tightened. it last about a day or two take advil and you will be ok. just think the pay off will be that you have beautiful teeth in the end.
Answer:
the spacers do not hurt at all
it hurts way more when u are an adult because as a kid ur teeth are growing so they can move aorund unlike adult teeth which are all firm so u are lucky***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 stain***they put the bands, and then every time u go back u get to choose new colorsk
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!then 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, 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 am gettin em off on July 3-my friend says it acutally hurts more to get em off so yea
my spacers didnt hurt. they were just annoying...felt like i had food stuck in my teeth. getting braces on didnt hurt at all!! after having them on your teeth feel "pressured" like tight..haha it feels good acutally. although the next day your teeth will be sore from moving, they even might be loose a little.advil, works wonders!! that pain shouldnt really last more than a day or two, and it only hurts when you try to chew something
