Braces....?
Well I was really scared before I got my braces on too. But its not as bad as you think. They put them on and youll be fine until an hour or two after and it will feel a little sore. The first week will probably be the most painfull but after that youll be fine. Just stay away from hard and crunchy foods for the first 2 weeks.
Reply:YES YES YES YES, for like 2 weeks
Reply:Ohhhh YES they will. Mine hurt for 3 days straight! But the tightening oly hutrs for a couple hours.Oj and when you get them on, they hurt after an hour.
Reply:i had braces and it nothing to be scared about the only time it hurts is when the teeth move but it feels more like toothache, any way if u feel scared just imagine yourself with dead straight teeth every body else will be jealous thats all i thought of even though ma friends called me brace face but that tld me there were jealous, youll will have a wonderful smle afterwards and its worth it at the ende of the day lol





good luck
Reply:haha, about everyone that answered this is a weenie.


they don't hurt like everyone says they do.


i have them right now.


i don't like them becuase i think they make me look younger..


but they don't hurt.


it took about a week to get used to them,


the first week you have to eat soft foods but i've had mine since aug. and everytime i go back and they tighten them and say they are gonna hurt really bad i always walk out perfectly fine,


i never take pain killers or anything and i eat w/e i want after.


no biggie,


when you first get them on your gonna wanna take advil or somthing tho, they hurt later on the first day.


but nothing that you can't handel.
Reply:i've got braces and still have now. they dont hurt when you put them on. the day after you feel like crap. it hurts for 5 days. getting them tightened only hurts abit. getting colour changes never hurts. if it break's off your ortho will glue it back on. it's nothing to worry about, you get used to them and start to like them.
Reply:depends how wonky your teeth are.





aching more than real pain.
Reply:well, retainers dont really hurt, but they make ur teeth ache which then lead to me taking mine out after i had my trian track brace off and subsequently i have a wonky tooth. =[





fixed braces . . hmmm. depends what ur pain threshold is. its not too bad though. the only reason i dont like it is cos the dentist scares me. it doesnt hurt it just feels really tight and it aches a bit. also they shove this thing to keep your mouth open wide which hurts the corners of ur mouth so i;d bring a little vaseline. its not as scary as i just made it sound i apologise.





no braces dont hurt - they ache like hell, but you get used to it. persevere and you will have fab teeth. xD
Reply:oh yes, but you get used to them. Just take some pain medicine and soft foods and ice cream also helps. also with sleep.
