Im getting braces tommorrow morning. My first question Is do they put every part of the braces on on the first day? Second,does it hurt worse than a tetnis shot when you're actually getting them on. Third,how long does it take? And last ,do they automatically put glow in the dark braces on or do I have to ask for them?

  1. Sorry, haven't had braces in the last week.

    All the braces are done at once, you have to have them adjusted regularly.

    It is painful for the first few days, until you get used to them.

    Adjustments are uncomfortable, not painful.

    You have to request what color, or if you want glow in the dark.


  2. I had brace for four years< and had them put on twice. My bottom and my top were put on seperatly, but each set was put on in one day. It took about an hour. They don't actually hurt when you get them on, but they do afterward. The only part that hurts is the back tooth, where they have to put like the base on. The actual braces arent glow in the dark. There are little rubber bands that can be glow in the dark. When your orthodontist asks you what color, tell him or her glow in the dark. They will give you a color pallet.

  3. i had my braces put on january but i think i have the answers for you.

    1. yes they do its a long process sort of, they put a bracket one by one.

    2. when they put on the braces does not hurt. it only hurts when they put the bands on which are the silver parts on your molars.

    3. the process for me was like 1 hour 15 min, thats the usual time give or take.

    4. you might have to ask for glow in the dark but im not even sure if they have glow in the dark braces. you might be talking about elastic ligature but i dont think that they have that either

    hope that helped.

  4. first, when i got mine on, i only got four on then once my teeth started coming in they put the brackets on bit by bit... second it didn't hurt at all... in fact i didn't even know when they where gluing the brackets on till i felt them with my teeth... however the day after i felt the wire pulling on my teeth to straight and it felt like my roots were being pushed around... also it might hurt to eat for a while... but it doesn't hurt as bad as it sounds... i don't quite remember how long it took but i'm guessing an hour or so but i could be wrong... and finally to answer your last question you have to ask for the glow in the dark bands if they have them because the regular bands don't glow in the dark... by the way i don't know about the glow in the dark kind because it might make your teeth look yellow or something... but do what you want and good luck

  5. yes they do put every part on.second no it  it dose not  hurt when the put them on it hurts really bad really after a hour and it hurts for a week but you can take pane medicine to sooth the pane.

    no you have to ask for glow ones

    GOOD LUCK!!!

  6. no normally they put only the top part of the braces on (top teeth) it will most likely depend on how bad you teeth are but my brother my mom and i all only go the top on at first then a month or two later got bottoms on......i havent go my bottoms on yet i have only had braces on for a few weeks...................................... does not hurt at ALL when you get them on at all by the time you go to bed it may hurt but it is barable with advil or asprin .... use a ice pack if it starts to hurt....................................... it probally will take about 45 mins to putt all the braces on.....or to you mean how long it takes for them to come off well in that case 14-24 months i do believe.................................... what kind and where you get your braces depend in glow in the dark .... i had no choice i could not get colors or glowing because of the brace type......but my friends had a choice you automaticly get a color but you have to ask for glow in the dark braces.......hope i helpt

  7. yes.

    no. not when you get them on. they are sore a couple of hours after you get them on. soreness lasts 1-2 days about. depends tho

    depends on how crooked your teeth are. you might have to wear them for 1 year mybe 2,3,4, etc. it just depends

    ask for them,
