Answer 2

I haves braces and after you get you braces tightened it does hurt. The pain lasts about 3 days. Dont stress about the wire. When they put it on you dont feel it. They cut the back of the wire to make a shorter so it doesn't poke you. Dont be scared you will be just fine.

Answer 3

it all depends on how well you can handle pain.. the only time i had pain was the first time they tightened them and it went away within a couple days and never happened again.. if you have pain go get something that numbs your mouth such as orajel.. the only thing i felt when they use the scissors was a little discomfort. i havent heard anyone else say that it hurts

Answer 4

you get sore for about a week when you get your braces on. You have to get soft foods because it is hard to chew. The first couple times you get your braces tightened you get sore, but then after that you are fine.

Answer 5

Dont worry so much! its not as bad as you think

your teeth will hurt for the first 2 weeks when u first

Answer 6

I found that when I had braces is that it seems a lot worse than it really is. For the first week or so when you get the first wires on your mouth is going to be very sore because it is not used to it.

I reccomend a lot of cold things to help, it helped me.

And as for the tightening, the first few new wires that they change to make it tighter, it does hurt but its because your mouth is sore.

After a while actually you will get used to it, I had them for like a year and a half and after a while the new wires didnt even hurt when I went it.

You'll be okay, but just keep in mind, you will be sore. They gave me some stuff to put on my gums though to help numb it if it got really bad so they will probably give you something like that to take home.
