How long do braces hurt? My B-Day is a week from today (braces day) and I don't want to feel bad.?

Question

Happy birthday to me lol....

Answer 1

They do hurt, and it's pretty uncomfortable, but after a week you will probably be able to not be bother by that pain anymore. If you are still, take a painkiller. Be sure to use the wax they'll give you, because you don't want to have your gum and lips all cut. After a week they might not even hurt that much anymore.

But the thing is, you'll probably still have trouble eating. I remember when I first got braces, I felt so weird eating, it just didn't feel right. Remember you have a bunch of metal in your mouth that's new, and it really feels different. Besides, you might feel "weakness" on your teeth when you are chewing.

So I wouldn't be too worried about the pain on your birthday, but a little more about the food. If you're throwing a party and don't want to be starving, just make sure to think about "soft" food. Use it for your advantage and eat lots of cake! :D Don't worry too much though, I don't think it's going to ruin your bday. Just have fun and try not to think about it. In no time you won't even remember braces felt awkward at first.

Answer 2

Braces actually hurts. Thus, it also takes time for you to feel well regarding your teeth. You may not eat well, the day of yours :) But you will have to be patient. It really hurts at least for two weeks. But you can enjoy it :) It's very beneficial :)

Well, they are going to really hurt! LoL. What can I say?!  If you prepare yourself for the worst, then it wont actually be that bad... I can't really remember, might not be so bad after a week, but you may not be able to chew a steak! Maybe put it in the blender first....  

Answer 4

Answer 6

Happy Birthday indeed. Now about the braces they may be uncomfortable for a couple of days but try some mild analgesicsif it gets too much.  Better though is to take you mind off it by getting engrossed in a good book or perhaps a computer game that you have to think about.  You will look great when they come off.
