Does it hurt when you get braces ?

Question

hi I'm getting my braces put on next week and i just wanted to know if it hurts? Many of my freinds had said that it hurts like $&%% is it true or are they just playing with me

please help

Answer 1

It doesn't hurt when they are putting them on, but after, yes they are sore, and it hurts to eat.

So take tylenol before you go. And eat before you go also.

Your going to have to eat soft foods for a week or so after also.

Good luck!!

Answer 2

I just got braces yesterday, and it feels really weird for me to have metal in my mouth..

IT will hurt when your teeth move.

But that never happened to me.

Just be sure to eat soft foods once you get braces.

Answer 3

No it doesn't hurt.

It can ache just after getting them, also when they get adjusted every month, but generally, most people have felt worse pain in their lives. Probably the worst bit is aggravation from them which might cause mouth ulcers (first week or so). No worse then when you get a ulcer on your tongue!

Sounds to me your friends are wusses!

Just think of the end result, shiny straight teeth and a gorgeous smile!

Yes, it hurts a lot at first.  When u first get them, u wont feel THAT much.  It will just be uncomfortable.  It will start feeling really sore that night/next morning, and continue for a few days in which u cant eat anything that isnt really soft.  Then it becomes fine and u can do anything... until u get them tightened again.  Dont worry though, its really worth it.  Teeth are something u need to live with for the rest of ur life.
