Does it hurt getting braces?

Question

how much does it hurt when they put them on..

how much does it hurt after?

Answer 1

getting them on doesn't hurt infact it is easy and you don't feel a thing. When you get them tightened your teeth are sore for about a week. Adding back braces makes your gums bleed. Sometimes you get these things placed on the back upper teeth that make you loose your front taste buds. You can't eat all the sugary goodness which mentally hurts...

So to answer your Q geeting them on does not hurt, but the process of having metal and wires in your mouth hurts.

The good thing is that some orthidontists give you wax, but it is hard to apply...

Answer 2

It doesn't hurt at all when you get them on. Then the next couple of days it hurts..it feels like someone is pushing your teeth and it hurts to bite down. But don't worry because it only lasts like 2 days.

Answer 3

Putting them on shouldn't hurt. However, your teeth will hurt a bit the days following as your teeth start to shift. It will also hurt every time they are adjusted, as pressure is being put on your teeth to move. The pain shouldn't last too long though. Braces are more annoying than painful IMO

Answer 4

it doesn't hurt the day you get them on because they usually put on a very think wire. when you go back to get them tightened they will slowly increase the thickness of the wire and usually it doesn't hurt the day you get them tightened you just feel pressure, but the next 2 or 3 days you will have pain so take some ibuprofen and eat soft foods.

Answer 5

I was wondering about the same thing lol because I just went to the fentist and I found out that I have to get braces!!

Answer 6

one of my friends told me the braces would hurt after 2 days. they said that it doesn't hurt as much when you first get them in, but as they push your teeth back it will start to hurt. even though you push back your teeth with your fingers it won't hurt but when the braces come in, they are sronger then your fingers and it will hurt.

Answer 7

i had braces on for 3 years....they dont hurt getting them on......all you feel is pressure but barely....all they do is glue the brackets on your teeth and then hook the wire on....after wards yes your teeth will be soar and you wont be able to eat anything harder than noodles cuz you have to get use to the pressure of your teeth moving.....eat ice cream with a plastic spoon to numb your mouth after you get the braces on it will help....after like a month or two you will definetly get use to the pain trust me and it doesnt hurt getting your braces off either....they just taske them off with dentel plyers or whatever  :]

Answer 8

Before I had my braces put on they first put spacers between my teeth, those hurt kinda bad for a few days. the rest of the process wasn't too bad.
