When do braces begin to hurt?

Question

I'm getting braces next week. It's in the morning, and so I'll have them for school during the day, and for lunch. My appointment is at like 8:30, and lunch is at 11:45. I was wondering if I should go get a smoothie during lunch time, or just get a normal lunch... I know they hurt like crazy that night and the next day, but I was just wondering if they would hurt... I want to eat my dang food! Hahahaha! Please help me!

Answer 1

I got my braces on about about a year ago and yes they do hurt. Mine hurt for a  few days.... I'd recommend that you either take a panadol or neurofen. they often work well with brace pain. and for lunch I would not eat something hard and normal.it'll hurt, also dont eat a smoothy cause their cold right? that might hurt a bit so if I were you id eat something loop warm like loop warm soup.  

Answer 2

When I got them, it hurt almost right away actually. Take it easy on the foods lol.

Answer 3

i am 13 and when i got my braces they were sore for a week or so. just eat soup and soft things untill they are better. But i think you need a smothie either way. lol

Answer 4

you would need to get a smoothie for sure. haha when you first get them your teeth are sore for a couple of days. and after that its only sore when you get them tightened.

Answer 5

for most people, braces hurt for a very long time once you first get them on

when i first got my braces on, i had to eat soup and other soft foods for what seemed like forever

but it was completely bearable

and you definitely should get a smoothie

good luck!

Answer 6

The next day.  

Answer 7

you should get a smoothie or something that is really soft because if you have hard food then u will be in pain like all day and you might b in pain aftr like 2 hrs

Answer 8

When i got mine thet did not hurt for about 5 or 6 hours and it takes about an hour to put on. So you probably could get anything you wanted. I remember eating chicken nuggets and fries.
