So yeah i just got braces two days ago

Question

and they are really annoying....ive been reading around on yahoo answers and stuff and they say a couple of days ill gets use to them....but then i read the it will hurt when i get them tighted....and i was just wondering after i get them tighted will they hurt another couple of days again or just that day?

Answer 1

They hurt for a couple day. But then you get used to them. But all I have to say is, for as long as you have them Tylenol will be your best friend.

Answer 2

It really depends on the person; some people may experience pain just that day, or the following 2 days. For me, it usually takes me about 2 days to adjust to tightening. If you haven't done this already, take a tylenol, eat plenty of soft food (pasta, ice cream, pudding) and apply wax whenever you can. Good luck. P.S. I've been told many times "the tin grin is in!"  

Answer 3

I'm sorry about it, but the pain will go away in a couple of days, and then you will be able to eat with no pain :]

And about the adjustments, it really depends on which archwire they chance it to. The first few times they would use a very thin wire, so it wont hurt at all. Today I had my second adjustments on my top teeth and I've had no pain whatsoever.

So just stick with Tylenol and soft foods for a couple days more, and you'll be fine :]

Answer 4

two or three days at the most.  When I had braces it always sucked till the pain went away.  Just endure man.  It's all worth it in the end! =)
