Do fixed braces hurt ?

Question

I'm getting fixed braces (train-tracks) tomorrow and I was just wondering if it hurts when they tighten the wire. Help I'm really worried =(

Answer 1

I don't know

Answer 2

braces overall hurt. Be careful so you dont cut your mouth up.

Answer 3

they absolutely bloody wreck

Answer 4

There's no need to worry honestly. I'm getting mine today and i can assure they won't badly hurt but they will slightly as your teeth are moving just take pain relief!!! The pain will last 1 week MAX but possibly 2 days, the pain relief will help!!!

You'll be fine!!!

Answer 5

Putting it on doesnt hurt. Tightening really hurts for 4-5 days afterwards  and they will tighten it every month or so. Its a big pain at first but after about 2 weeks you wont feel i any more (apartfrom the tightening).

Ask your dentist for wax.

Dont worry its really not a big deal, and soon it will be over with and you will have a beautiful smile! Good luck and dont worry!

Answer 6

It only hurts when you chew or eat.

but other wise its fine.

its uncomfortable for only like 2 days but then it goes away.

Answer 7

it hurts at first, but don't worry

you'll get used to it. Sometimes in a few hours, at MOST two days

Believe me, I had braces....

Answer 8

no, it feels like you lightly pulling on eack tooth, dont worry! I wish you luck! Pick me as best answer!

Answer 9

when they put them on its feels way tighter and starts to hurt after  

Answer 10

No, unless your teeth are extremely crooked, it should not be painful.  The "pain" would last about 2 weeks for extremely crooked teeth, and slightly unaligned teeth would be around 3 days to a week.  

It's nothing to be worried about and usually, it's just a discomfort or slight stinging soreness.  

Your teeth will feel tight from the sire pulling, but that's about it.

Good luck!!

I hope this helped a bit.  

Answer 11

Nah, just when they tighten them and when you eat when you first get them, they feel uncomfortable.
