  1. Absolutely


  2. I've have braces! They don't hurt to be put on but later they do and you struggle to eat for a while! It's also really hard to brush your teeth at first! Takes about 10 minutes! Every time you get them tightened they hurt again and ache especially when eating and brushing! But once you've been going for about a year they stop hurting when they are tightened and are just tender to eat and brush!

    Sorry to disappoint you if you hoped it wouldn't hurt  

  3. It really is no big deal. They just put the glue on your teeth, lay the brackets in place, and then set the in the wire. However, I got my braces on about 10 years ago and so I am sure the technology has improved to make the procedure faster. It shouldn't take thaaat long-maybe you'll be out by 4:00. Get a color that suits you best. I always went with clear because they were the least noticeable, but a blue or green is always good. AVOID yellow or white. Yellow makes your teeth look baaad and white can clash with our teeth and pick up stains from things like spaghetti sauce or pizza (unless you brush regularly).

    Don't worry about the pain... it is sore for a while, but it is no big deal. It is all worth it when you get them off!

    Good Luck!!!

  4. No, they hurt the day after. for a week or so, depending on the person.

    they will also hurt for a few days every time you get them tightened, or your wire adjusted.

    Probably an hour or an hour and a half. It all depends on the line, and if any problems arise.

    What two colors are your favorite? I like to go orange and black. i like orange and red as my favorite colors, but i just like the look the two have.

  5. I had braces and from my experience it didn't hurt when they put them on. It hurt after wards only because my teeth were sore. As far as how much time it should be about an hour it just depends. Sometimes they will not put colors on until later on. It really just depends on your orthodontist.

  6. The removable ones are just moulded to shape, and the 'fitted' ones are glued to your teeth, it doesn't hurt as far as I know, My sister has had several before.

    Your appointment should take about 20-30 minutes.

    GDJ.

  7. They will hurt, but it depends on the condition of your teeth.

  8. It hurts afterward. For like 2 weeks depending on how tight they put them on. Get Purple or silver, something not too noticable, and not something that will make your teeth yellow. You should be out of the dentist at 4. Good luck!

  9. when i got my braces on it took around and hour and half, if i remember correctly

    it doesnt hurt too much, when they were putting the braces on the only thing i found to hurt was the clamps that open your mouth wider so they can get to the back of your teeth so they can glue the brackets on

    you should just pick your favourite colour u will be able to try other colours later on, since u probably will have it for at least a year or two, meaning you can have 12-24 colours

  10. it takes about an hour and a half,

    they don't hurt until the second day or until you get them tightened.

    you should get purple.


  11. NO!!!!  They don't hurt at all.  Don't listen to anyone who says it does.

    It should take about an hour and a half.

  12. they have to put some paste then they put braces on and they  have to dry it with this blue light. plus they have to put ringson all four back molars or wisdom teeth if you have them. probaly 2:40-3;00

    blue and black, white and black, for halloween orange and black, pink and black. mix it around. they only hurt a little after for 1-2 days. hope it helps good luck

  13. well at first they are gonna get a clay or something like that and put it in youre mouth.

    so they could kno whats the shape of youre teeth.

    Then it depends if you need spacers..like me i needed some and it didnt hurt.but on the other side of my mouth it did..anyways they glue the bractes  on then  for some reason they get this metal ring and put it around youre tooth but only on theback teeth. then you have to wait when its dry..cuzz i think they glue on or something..and then youre donee

    the next apointment is when they put the wires.......so now they know wat r they gnna do wit you..

    it does kinda take a long time..but later on it will be shorter......

    OHH AND COLORS TRY

    BLACK AND DARK BLUE

    HOT PINK AND ORANGE....

    DARK GREEN AND HOT PINK

    SLIVER AND DARK BLUE(:

    BUT ITS UP 2 YEW??

  14. It depends on your pain threshold really.  It never hurt me and I had quite difficult braces.  They can be a bit uncomfortable for a day or so afterwards but you just take paracetamol.  Can't say how long it will take as this depends on your Orthodontist.  I had one of the best in the UK so I never really had any problems.  What you need to consider is just how great your teeth will look afterwards.  I had mine on for two and a half years and kind of missed them when they were gone but now I have fantastic teeth!

    Good luck. x

  15. they don't necessarily hurt, but they're sore...if i recall it took about an hour, but i don't really remember because i had them about 3 years ago...but as for color anything really except red (it looks like your teeth are bleeding), yellow (looks like corn is stuck) and clear (they're not clear they make your teeth look like there's plaque sticking out from them...yuck)

  16. They didn't hurt so bad.

    it takes 3-4 hours

    5:30 or 6:30

    well if you want to be more discreet i would go with a silver.

    but if you want exciting bright colors

  17. Take an advil or brace yourself for pain.

    Ususally anywhere from one to two hours.

    A color that matches what you wear most of the time.


  18. Braces dont hurt when you are getting them on but like after you get them on eat a lot of food because like 3 hours after you have them on you wont be able to eat anything for about 3 to 4 days. That is how long it hurt for me and the only things that i could eat then was mashed patotes and gravy and just ham and soup. When you are getting your braces on it takes about and hour and a half to 2 hours because they have to clean your teeth and put this stuff on them that makes the braces stick and other stuff. so if you went in at about 2:30 i would say 4:30 you would be out. For the colors blue or green is pretty cool but its your choice.

  19. Not at all.  It was a breeze. Should take about an hour- to an hour and a half. Please get clear or at least the regular metal ones. The other colored ones are juvenile.

  20. no it don't hurt

    they glue the brackets on and put a wire through the brackets

    it took me 3 hours

    about 5:00

    you can  get clear brackets or metel i got  both

    (clear on the the top and metel on the bottom)

    then you can get any color on the bands


  21. That's a tough question...when I got them, I couldn't chew for weeks and lost weight fast! My niece recently got them and she was fine after 2 hours...

    So it depends!

    They mark your teeth, then put glue and then stick the brace on, this is the part that takes the longest cause it has to dry completely...this doesn't hurt at all, it's just boring. When they put the metal string that does the job, then you feel pressure...but again, it depends on the person.

    It takes about 45 mins to an hour... so, 3:30

    Your choice! I went with clear braces so i couldn't pick a color, but my niece changes them every chance she gets, purple, pink, blue, green etc...she even mixes them (one pink, one blue, one pink, etc)

    Good Luck!

  22. depends how many brackets you are getting on your teeth, If your getting a full mouth it can take an hour. They glue metal brackets to your teeth, then they fit in the wire. First they put these metal things around your back teeth to hold the wire.

    Your teeth will be sore for the first couple days and you might talk weird!

    Dont pick red or yellow because it looks like mustard or Ketchup on your teeth ( trust me i know :D )

    Good Luck! :D

  23. Ha thanx for asking this question. My friends who have/had braces told me it's going to hurt (I get mine on next week). I didn't appreciate it, but that's what they said so I thought I'd pass it on.

  24. they dont hurt so much when you get them put on  they just feel funny they kinda rub against your lip .you have to go back every month or so  to get them tightened up because your teeth shift to where they are being straightened   they glue small metal brackets to each tooth then run a small metal wire between thebrackets on each tooth  every dentist is different it could take anhour or several  its been many years since i had mine as far as color im sure now theres manyto choose from  just remember dont eat hard candy  real chewy stuff it will break the brackets  and  you will look funny walking around with half the brackets hanging off   good luck  hopes this helps  

  25. Some people say they do, some say they don't. It didn't hurt for me to get them on as much as it hurt for them to come off. I wouldn't worry to much. It's about a 30-45 minutes procedure and you should be out by 3:00-3:15. Do whatever colour compliments you or that you like. Be creative. =)

  26. U dont need to worry at all when the orthodontist is puttin on ur braces they wont hurt at all but after a while like maybe after 30 min u got them on they hurt pretty bad its hard to eat just might want to keep some motrin or tynolol with u the procedure is simple they just put some tyep of glue on ur teeth and put the little brackets on and heat the glue with this light thing so it hardens the whole process should take 1hr to 1 hr 30 min so u should be out by 3:30 to 4:00 u can choose any color u want just tell ur orthodontist im pretty sure u can choose as many as u want to so u can have like 2 or like 14 hope this helps u

  27. They put glue on your teeth, they shine a light in your mouth when putting the brace on which i think dries the glue when they are putting the brace on. When you first get them on it doesnt hurt for a wee while but then it gets really painful, well mine was, it is different depending on your pain threshold. This pain lasts for about 5-7days. When i got mine on it only took 15-20 mintues, i got pink in colour, i wasnt really bothered about how noticable they are or anything cause they help your teeth!

    Good Luck!! =)

  28. No it doesn't hurt when they put them on at all.  It should take anywhere between 1-2 hours.  The only thing that might hurt is having your lips stretched out for that long.  That's the only thing that may be a tad uncomfortable.  They shouldn't hurt afterwards either, but will take some getting used to.  

    However,  braces do tend to hurt when you get them tightened.  

    It should hurt from anywhere from a day to up to a week.

  29. Some of my frinds have them they say they don't hurt


  30. they usually give you a lot of colors to pick from. And it definitely hurts, also it will take a while.
