Will Braces hurt when theyre first on, and what color should i get?

Question

im a 16 year old male so no fruity colors please

Answer 1

Yes. They will hurt.

Take some pain killers before you go get them on, and when you need them after.

Be prepared to be eating a lot of soup.

However, the pain will go away in a few days. It only lasts about 3 days for me. But the first time will seem longer because your mouth aren't used to them.

I would go for clear, you might regret coloured ones.

Clear ones do turn yellow though if you drink a lot of caffeine or anything like that, but the ortho. changes them every visit.

Hope i helped!

Answer 3

My friends said they had headaches for awhile until they got used to them. I'm sure your dentist will be able to advise you on it. And I would say, if you're parents can afford them, get the clear ones. That way, they aren't as visibly noticeable and no fruity colors.
