Back to work after getting braces?

Question

Hi,

I am getting braces next week and am wondering if I will be ok to come back to work that day?

Thanks

Answer 1

you can go back to work but it will hurt  

Answer 2

ya definitely! you'll probably be a little sore and your mouth needs to get adjusted to the braces. Just be careful eating certain things, since your not use to this being in your mouth, you might scratch or bite your mouth in certain ways and not even be able to tell you hurt your mouth cause your not use to the braces! but you can definately go back to work! good luck, and stay with it! it may be a pain but they come out so nice in the end :)

Answer 3

For sure... well unless your planning to take some teeth out.. otherwise you'll be fine!

Answer 4

Most likely yes - but your teeth will be sore.

After I got mine (many years ago) I went back to school. We had a pizza party.  I couldn't eat the pizza very well -  more just tasted it. Took forever to actually get it where I could swallow.

Answer 5

yes, I went to school the day after I got mine on, My teeth were sore for the next 2-3 days, (the orthodontist says 1-2 days to make you feel better about braces) but on the 5th I was fine, I couldn't feel anything (soreness) so, Yes, go to work!

Oh, and by the way, it takes twice as long to eat food on the first couple of days, and it hurt when I sneezed... :)
