Braces????????????

How long after getting braces does it still hurt?

Braces????????????
I have braces. I got them a MONTH ago.





oh the pain. it wasnt too bad though. just do something at all times so you're distracted.





For me, no pain releivers worked. but thats me. and i am VERY dramatic. lol.





Of course it hurt, but its really not THAT bad. youll whine for.. 3 days? it seemed like the third day i took tylenol [chewable.. i cant swallow pills. its pathetic (: ] and i got on my computer for several hours.. and it pretty much stopped.





If you get braces, remember as soon as you get them on to go eat ALOT. at a restraunt. tons of food. tons. cause itll hurt to eat that night.





umm.. at night.. i slept in my parents room for two days. im 13. i can do that. :] i also suggest to sleep alot.





DONT CHEW GUM until the soreness stops. i was sore, and a friend told me to chew gum, cause itll stop the soreness. OMG I BIT DOWN AND IT HURT BADLY. haha. BAD FRIEND. btw.. chew sugarless. anything else will stick to your braces.





braces reallyyyy arent that bad.





the worst part is getting them on. ahaha. seriously. its an hour of stretching lips with this weird catraption. but it doesnt hurt.





when i was getting my braces on, i growled at them. haha :]





ok hope i helped. good luck if you get them :]
Reply:It really depends on the person. You get very minor pain everytime you have an ortho appointment usually because they tighten it, but it should go away within the nex two days after every check up.
Reply:ahhh, i have lots of experience in this area. i had braces for 5 years, i just got them off last year. the braces will hurt for about 3-4 days, sometimes it can hurt for up to a week. i strongly suggest taking advil/tylenol to ease the pain, and eat soft foods...like ice cream, and soup. each time you go to get them adjusted (for me it was every 6 weeks) it will start to hurt again. only for a few days, however.
Reply:When you first get them, it hurts for 2-4 days.
