dude u get spacers in before the braces, you generally have them for about 8 days or so....7 of which it hurts to eat things then like magic on the 8th day you feel nothing when you eat GREAT TIMING HUH!!!!, lol, then you get the braces and you dont feel them for like the first 4-6 hours then theres pain, and like the spacers it they hurt for roughly 5-10 days afterword, then you get used to them and the pain goes away, best advice SLEEEPPPPPPPP becasue ur body adjusts more during sleep so the more you sleep during that time the fewer days of pain youll have!! at least that was my experience then again i also had tylenol 3 w/codeine from when i broke my wrist that i didnt use then but i used when i got my braces but yeah thats about it.......getum its SOOOOOOO worth it =)
Reply:It only hurts for a little while and the effects are well worth it... I had braces as an adult and wish I had them back when I was a kid so it wouldn't have been so hard on me (teeth already permanently in place). So yes, it will hurt for a bit but not as much as you probably think it will.
Reply:My son had braces, he said it was a little raw the first week, but after that he was used to them.





He has a beautiful smile. Yours will be too, tell mom to check out the new invisable braces.
Reply:It wont hurt the way you are thinking. You will feel more sore than anything. Nothing to worry about.





Talk to your dentist about getting the clear braces that fit over your teeth. you switch them out every 2 weeks or so with a different shaped pair.





Not only are they clear and look much better, but your teeth are moved gradually, giving you even less discomfort.





insurance might not cover it though, check into it.
Reply:No it won't leave any permanent marks or holes as long as you don't use whitening tooth-paste while you have them, or else you will have discolored teeth. Yes, it does hurt for about 2 weeks after you get them, just eat soup or stuff that is very soft until the pain goes away. Unfortunately it will also hurt for a few days after every time you get them tightened. I went through all of this pain in worry but in the end it was all worth it.
Reply:No, having braces isn't painful, but on the monthly adjustments they are quit sore. You can help rid the soreness by getting a soft bristle toothbrush and use it only to massage the gums in a circular motion. It speeds up the blood circulation and eases the soreness alot. You'll have a gorgeous smile after you have completed all the treatments. Always brush and floss. Flossing is more important than brush weather you have braces or not. Good Luck!


PS: You'll smile all the time too and it gives you confidence.
Reply:well what your friends have said are right it will hurt for about a week or so depending on how bad your teeth are.
Reply:they will be sore, but not actually hurt. then during the time you are wearing the braces, it will depend on how your dentist adjusts them during your check ups. get the braces.. you'll be glad you did!!!
Reply:It would hurt, no doubt. But to look pretty when you reach your teen is more important than anything, right? Just that thought alone would get you going.
Reply:It does hurt, but sometimes it doesn't. The first time you get them, it will hurt for the first couple days. I got my braces when I was 10. I was scared too but now I realize that it was so worth it. My teeth drastically changed. When you get it tightened monthly it kind of hurts for a day too if they tighten it a lot. But you can always take painkillers like Advil.
Reply:They hurt like HELL! You have NO idea. OMG! Your whole mouth will hurt. The wires will most likely dig into you at some point and its horrible.
