Reply:its not pain its more like alot pressure. how long? depends on how long u'll have em. Ive had them for 5 years now.
Reply:it doesnt hurt that bad but it will give u some cuts from the metal but it wont always be like that ur mouth will get used to them
Reply:my friend has told me that they hurt pretty bad. but honestly, mine didnt hurt at all when i got them on until i ate. so normally, when you're not doing anything they probly wont hurt but when you eat they might so eat soft foods for about 3-4 days and move on to more normal foods and within a week it should be about gone.
Reply:it's a pretty annoying pain and it lasts about a week. after that, it'll only hurt if you get hit in the mouth obviously, and after each time they change stuff, and it'll last a day or 2 each time
Reply:Yes there IS a little pain associated with the application of braces---it takes maybe 3-4 days before all the pain is gone completely... like anything else that is new, they will take time to get used to....they may hurt a bit now, but once you get them off and have beautiful teeth and a beautiful smile, you will be happy you had them----I wore them for 7 YEARS, along with a monsterous thing called a head cap (metal wires attached to the braces with a velcro CAP that went over the top and around the back of the head that was worn at night to push the teeth in even futher......looked really beautiful--Not. but after the braces came off, my teeth were straight and BEAUTIFUL.
Reply:I have had braces for about 3 months now. They hurt pretty bad when you first get them on. At first you can't eat solids. Be prepared to eat smashed up food or liquids. It hurts for about a week, and every once in awhile after that. By the time you go to get the colors changed you will be back to normal. I recommend taking some pain reliever before you go to have them put on. Take it alot and be careful what you eat. Everyone makes them sound bad, but they really aren't. and the end result will be worth while. I thought you might want to experiment with the colors, go here and play around with the different colors.

Reply:I wouldn't say hurt, more like uncomfortable.
Reply:When you first get them in and they start putting the colored bands on you will feel a lot of pressure on your teeth making them extremley sore. Mine started throbbing in the evening but after I fell asleep and woke up the next morning the throbbing was gone and I didn't feel any pressure. But be aware your teeth will be extremely sensative. I couldn't even sleep on my side because of the pressure it put on my teeth. I couldn't even lick my lips without some pain. And break out your grinder so you can grind up food really fine, that way you just swallow, no chewing. I'm not trying to scare you but just be prepared for it. It may not be as bad as I say it was for me because I hate teeth pain. Taking tylenol or advil might help but it didn't do anything for me. By the end of the week you will feel much better and you will be able to eat solid foods but you may still have to break it off instead of using your teeth to bite a piece.





Also since your lips and mouth aren't used to the braces they got sore pretty quick so put wax (usually they offer it to you) and just put a whole bunch of it over all the brackets or the ones that cause problems. (it relieves the pain so much better) after a few days your mouth will get used to it and you can stop putting the wax on.





Don't worry to much just go in get them in and on your way home ask mom to stop at wendy's or mcdonalds to get your self a milkshake/mcflurry. It helps numb your teeth and it's yummy!





Good luck and look forward to a mouth with straight shiny teeth!
Reply:it takes awhile....after each tighten it hurts again.
Reply:I've never experienced any pain with my braces and I've had mine on for 3 and a half years. Most people get their braces off within 2 years but I have to have multiple surgeries to fix my teeth. When you first get them on you have a strange tightening feeling to your teeth and it may be hard to eat at first. So stock up on soup, yogurt, apple sauce, and easy-to-eat foods.
Reply:I've had braces for 3 weeks now. when i first put them on, they didn't hurt at all. It was just a little sensitivity when i brushed and threaded the floss. But I couldn't eat solids at all. All i ate was soup. I did lose like 5 pounds in 5 days, but now im so used to them. I eat things like soup and jawbreakers and everything in between. Best luck!!!
