Did they tighten my braces?

Question

DO they tighten your braces when you get them on?

I am trying to see if the discomfort I am feeling now is the worst of it lol.

Did they tighten them or just stick them on for now?

I got them on yesterday and its a little uncomfortable but not super bad. I already took some Tylenol but I have to wit for it to kick in :(

Answer 1

The braces are starting to do the work! When you first get them on, there's nothing to tighten, is there? This might be the worst of it, it might not. You get them tightened pretty much every month. Some months are better than others! But can't you wait till your teeth are nice and straight?

Good luck!

Answer 2

yeah they will tighten them, but don't worry it's really not that bad, i've had them for 4 years [UGH!]

and you'll get used to it pretty fast, also they won't be hurting as bad as they do when you first get them on.

Answer 3

Yes they tighten them right away, and then every month. It hurt me a lot too. I wanted to rip my face off. Haha. Hope the Tylenol helps!

Answer 4

they just put them on  yes it will hurt for a bit since your not use to it and no they didnt tighten them you will go back in a month to get them tightened and yes it will hurt for a few hrs you just get used to it thats all you might have to take a tylenol i did  

Answer 5

Yes they tighten them every month =[

Answer 6

Answer 7

Yeah. Most of the time when they tighten them it dosen't hurt though, unless you get like springs or rubberbands or some c**p then it will for a little while.

Answer 8
