Braces??!!!!?

I'm gonna get braces but before I do I have to get 4 of my teeth taken out to make room for when the braces straighten it etc. Does anyone here have braces? And will it hurt at all? How did you feel after you got it put in? And do you need retainers after you take out the braces? Soz, I'm just v. nervous lol x

Braces??!!!!?
I am in the SAME situation, i currently have braces and have had them for a year and a half.





Before i got them i was worried they would hurt too, i also got 4 teeth removed to make room.





The actually proccess of getting the braces on doesnt hurt. AT ALL. some people told me it did, some people told me it didnt.





After you go home, they may ache and hurt for a couple of days for when you try and eat. Soup and Ice Cream!!!





Same with when you go back regularily to get them tightened, it hurts a little bit when you try and eat for a couple days.





You will be fine though, dont worry.

Reply:i just got my braces like 2 months ago. you will have some pain for about a week after wards, and whenever they change your wires. at first it feels wierd, but youll get used to it. dont be nervous!
Reply:i've had braces before. and lemme tell you..eat all you can eat before u get them cuhz later u wont be able to eat stuff u normally do i think. at first it will hurt and you will have problems eating and stuff. i had to put something in my mouth when i go to sleep. it sucks
Reply:Braces dont hurt like people think. It isnt until after the process that your mouth aches a bit. The brace itself my irrate your gums but they will give you wax to put on and it will feel better. Take a pain reliever before you go in and that way it will kick in by the time the dentist is done. When you first get them, your mouth will taste like metal, but dont worry that will go away after a few days . They will give you a list of food you cant eat.. Dont go over board. I could pretty much eat anything as long as I was careful not to break a brace. But it is important to brush really good and when they come off WEAR your RETAINER!! or else it would have all been for nothing!! everyones experience is different. Ive had them twice and each time it was the same. Didnt hurt and a bit achy afterward. Once you get used to them you, you`ll forget they are even there.
Reply:It's really not that bad to get braces. They just glue the bracets on your teeth run the wire throught it and then put the bands around it. All in all it's nothing to worry about. But just so you know I had braces and was freaking out over them before I got them too. They' ll be just a little tight at first but you can take something for that. Yes you'll have to wear a retainer but it's not bad ether. Don't worry you'll Probably hate them but that normal.
Reply:sorry to tell u but tes i have braces when u first get braces there not that bad but for like 2 days or so your teeth will start to ache and u will have to take advil and all that good stuff but anyways when you get them your mouth will feel very weird and just to let ya know every time you go and get them tightened they will hurt for about a week thast the only thing i hate about them but its worth it so just dont be nervous it will be fine you will get used to it!
Reply:The braces won't hurt when you put them on, they hurt afterwards.





Your braces will be annoying for a while. It will feel like someone is hugging your teeth and won't let go. The trick is to try not to let your teeth touch together, then it hurts!





How can I eat then?





You want to eat foods that require little to no chewing.(examples mashed potatoes, eggs, icecream, or maderian oranges) Just make sure that you get enough food through you. Don't starve yourself.





About the retainers..... most dentists recommend that you wear your retatiners for the rest of your life, but in reality, just wear them for a year or so.
