She may be telling you the truth. The pain is editive to your tolerance level. Did it hurt at first? Nope, it felt kinda funny though. Initially getting the spacers hurt like a monkey butt! It only hurt when I went in for routine tightenings. Color? Aquamarine goes with everything.

it doesnt hurt at all to get them on.

they glue the brackets on, put the wire in, the dr comes to check u out, they show u how to brush and floss and you're done.

you may wanna take some advil or tylenol before you go b/c your teeth will be a little sore afterwards, i mean, they're moving.

but it won't be anything too bad.  the worst thing is tht you'll probably get tired of keeping your mouth open. you have no reason to be scared though. you'll be just fine.

Good Luck!

P.S. i would get my favorite color.

they dont hurt at ALLLL. they put this thing in your mouth to keep it open. its uncomfortable but does not hurt!!! putting the wires in might like feel weir and kinda hurt because it gets really tight. but yea. its not bad at all.

get pink!

yellow and light blue fade=[

Everybody has a different level of what they think hurts.  I've had braces on and off for 6 years, and although it has made my mouth a little sore, that is the worst it got.  People like to scare other people when it comes to dental stuff but it's exaggerated.

As far as color, that's up to you!!  You can do pink or purple, or sometimes they have clear too.

I have braces and honestly it didn't hurt as bad as I thought. They will take x-rays, impressions. then polish your teeth. After that they they will put on the glue and put brackets on. add the wires and put the bands on. The worst part is when they put the brackets on, in my opinion, just because of the pressure. you will really want to stock up on soft foods such as: applesauce, soup. fried rice ( I lived on it when I got them) ect because your mouth will be pretty sore I would get light blue or pink just because it surprisingly it goes with a lot of different things. good luck!!!

honestly it doesn't hurt right when you get them but in like 30 minutes it kind of hurts not to bad but bad enough were you dont want to chew on something hard ...... they should give u a little plastic thingy that you bite on , that thing REALLY helps oh and the colors.. you should get your school colors since your gunna go back to school in like 10 days anyways GOOD LUCK

It is a little different every day. These days the technology is very good at allowing a more comfortable experience. It really depends on what needs to be done. I had them ten years ago, but I remember once every two or so months, they would make an aggressive change. That was not very fun and quite painfull.

Avoid pain by using the wax they give you, eating easy foods, nothing hard or tough to bite into. And I know it will suck, but avoid gum, even the sugar free stuff, it can lead to some miserable experiences.

Color: I was partial to orange, Its bright, optimistic, and stands out with flare.

Don't think about it too hard, it's not that bad.

my braces ached a little bit at first, but it went away, and didn't feel nearly as bad as i thought it would.

i will be completely honest..for the first couple days your teeth will be very sore. i had braces for 4 years and i hated it, but advil always helps the soreness. but after a couple days, the soreness goes away. so good luck! and i think you should get pink! =]

It's really not that big a deal. I had braces and right after your monthly visit to the orthodontist, your mouth is a little sore. Nothing huge. A couple of Advil will help and in a couple of days you forget about it.

I really doesn't hurt at all getting them put on, just the "adjusting" part.

The cool thing is you can get a new color or combination each month!

Hurts like h**l for about 3 days - a week. Don't be scared. Take some Tylenol and drink shakes. Every time they tighten them it hurts too. I had them for 5 yrs w/ a head gear that I refused to wear. But it pays off.

They don't hurt, however they are uncomfortable and take a bit of time to get used to. You should get whatever colour suits your personality!

I JUST got them, like last week.

It depends i had to go twice. The only thing that hurt me were

the rubber band spacers, they hurt like a mother, and you need

them for a week. Then you go back again, get them taken

out (feels so weird but good) and they fit these metal things in

to hold the wire, it doesnt hurt at all, and finally the wires. It

didnt hurt me, i just felt a little pressure when they tightened

it but its not painful or anything. So basically the only thing that

hurts is the rubber band spacers, but dont worry about it. Your

not the only one thats doing it.

at the beginning they hurt but after they don't. REMEMBER to brush your teeth or else they will stay on longer!!!!!!!!! believe me i know! my brother always say can we get them off because he has had them for 2 years and it was suppost to get them off on that 2 years but he didnt brush and now here comes another year

                                      P.S. pink is cool!

YES THEY DO HURT BUT ONCE YOU HAVE THEM FOR A WHILE YOU GET OVER IT AND IT GETS EASIER

YOU SHOULD GET PURPLE OR BLUE THEY AREN'T AS BRIGHT AND FLASHY

WHEN YOU GET THEM PUT A PIECE OF ICE AND PUT IT ON YOUR TEETH TO NUMB IT THEN TAKE ADVIL OR TYLENOL

GOOD LUCK
