Does braces hurt?

Question

does getttin braces hurt cauz i'm probably gonna get them

Answer 1

They can be uncomfortable at first, but you get used to them and you don't even feel them.

Answer 2

hmmm.

I got my braces in 4th grade. When they were putting the brackets on, it didn't hurt at all. 2 hours after wearing my braces, I felt a little pain. Later at night, I felt a lot of pain. It lasted that way for like 5 days. They gave me a list of what not to eat and what to eat. So I suggest don't eat anything hard and eat anything soft. Like mashed potatoes. [: Ice cream also helps cool the pain.

Now I'm heading to 7th grade and I'm getting my braces out this Friday. :D I'm excited and a little nervous. ahaha.

Well good luck if you're getting your braces!

Answer 3

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

The first week, yes, it hurts plenty. Your gums AND your teeth both are sore. Even if you touch your teeth they hurt. You can only eat soft food. I couldn't eat hard food for a very long time.

Answer 6

It is quite painful for the first week...

but the pain and everything is really worth the results!

Just take alot of Advil Liquid Caps well not too much...

and eat soft foods like soup mashed potatoes and otherstuff

Answer 7

That definitely depends on how sensitive you are to pain. They can hurt, especially when you first get them, but after awhile, they don't hurt as bad. My advice is taking tylenol (or advil...whatever you take for pain) about thirty minutes before you get them on and every time you go to get them tightened. It helps alot with the pain. Your teeth are normally sore the next day as well, so it's harder to chew foods, so keep your tylenol with you!

Answer 8

Well it really depends.

The first few weeks might hurt just a tiny bit, due to the fact that your teeth aren't quite used to the wires and brackets and rings. But after a while you'll get used to it. Every time you go back and tighten your braces it might hurt, but it'll go away.

Me personally, the worst was getting the spacers before getting my braces so they could fit a ring around my back teeth. Other than that, everything has been fine.

Also if wires poke out, they tend to hurt too, that's why you get them cut :)

Hope that helps!

Answer 9

Only for the first day. Your teeth will feel sore, and it will be hard to chew. After that you wont feel a thing, but just remember no caramel or corn on the cob :D
