Answer 2

No, they don't hurt at all! they're uncomfortable for a while and you can't eat/drink particular foods (e.g coke <-- Killed me) but they aren't anything to worry about they are better than having crooked teeth.

Answer 3

Yeah they hurt for about a week when you get them. But after that you get used to them and they don't hurt anymore. I suggest you eat REALLY soft foods like noodles, pasta, mashes potatoes, ice cream, yogurt etc. when you get your braces.

Answer 4

it depends who you are or how bad your teeth have to be adjusted. i have braces, it usually hurts when i get them tightened, although i have gotten used to it a little....

for me when i first started having them tightened once a month, they would be sore for atleast two whole days afterwards. sometimes longer. and then eating was annoying...

all in all though its not that bad, its more just annoying then anything. dont be scared.

Answer 5

Yes they do hurt,but when you first get them,it shouldn't hurt. But over the night It'll hurt. I just got mine yesterday and I can't eat a thing!

Answer 6

what happened to the search bar this question is posted everyday

Answer 7

The only part that hurts is after you get the braces on. I just got mine on this morning and they kind of hurt. Don't worry at all.  It is uncomfortable because they have to keep your mouth dry and open the whole time.

Answer 8

i have never had braces but my mom and siblings have so i know alittle bit about them. when you first get them, they are going to hurt bad! and for awhile. you have to definately brush more often after eating, and when you do to make sure you do carefully so you wont pull the wire out or anything. dont leave left over food stuck in your braces though! that can easily happen if you dont pay attention real good. they will eventually stop hurting after they loosen & you get used to them. they'll end up hurting again when you get them tightened again! for u they may not hurt bad. it depends on your tolerance for pain. everyone i know who's had them said they really hurt when u get them, so be prepared!!!! :-)
