Lip piercing with an overbite?

Question

I've just had my braces taken off and I'm thinking about getting a lip piercing. Problem is... I've got an overbite. Could I still get it done? Also, how much does it hurt? Do they numb it? Yes, I know everyone has different pain thresholds but I mean generally. I've got my nose, eyebrow, naval and ears pierced.

Answer 1

i don't think the overbite should be an issue--try asking your dentist or piercer about it. they may be able to help you with that. 'generally' speaking, it's hard to say how much a lip piercing hurts--it's very different for everyone, considering not everybody has experienced the same kind of pain throughout their lives (i.e. not everyone who's gotten a piercing has ever been tattooed, broken their arm, twisted their ankle, had frostbite, burns, bee stings, etc.) for me, it ranked 8 (on a scale of 1-10). however, it didn't take very long at all, which definitely helps and the pain dies down gradually after wards. they don't numb it, but if you just close your eyes and take a deep breath, it won't be so bad--besides, you've been pierced a number of times. you should be fine. bring a friend if you wish, making sure the piercer agrees to it, of course.  

Answer 2

I don't see what an overbite would have to do with it. Most people have a slight overbite.

Answer 4
