Braces...?

i might be getting braces this summer. [ehh]


and im kinda nervous.


im not very good at the whole pain thing, esspesially when it comes to the mouth.





alot of my friends have them, and they say that they hurt, really bad.


which, of course doesnt make me feel good about it either.





anyways, if you have any tips, please let me know.


thanks!

Braces...?
BRACES R HELL!! but only for a little while. At first i started 2 cry when i got mine on i was sceard they would look really bad but they didnt , im hapy there are off now but they only hurt wen you first get them on and when the tighten them. Most times they will take out the wire and put a tighter one in so that sux but i mean it will hurt for maybe 4-6 days. I had mine for a year and there not that bad you can put cut colors on them and make them fun. Also the first 2 weeks bring a tooth brush 2 school so when you eat the stuff can come out. Cuz the first times u eat the food will get stuck you can get use 2 it and get it out. Also when you just get them on dont play with them with your tong and try to bite down hard itjust makes them hurt more when they really start 2 hurt. Take a advil and stuff! I ope there fine im sure you will look great and get through it fine!
Reply:take something for the pain before you go in it helped me!


oh yeah and after you leave the office chew SUGARLESS gum it loosens it ! makes it feel so much better and don't worry nothing will happen to your teeth! my teeth are just fine!


REALLY STRAIGHT! Actually my orthodontist said i can chew sugarless gum AFTER GETTING THEM TIGHTENED!


so hope all goes well!
Reply:i got braces 3 months ago and to me they are not that bad. the only time there is pain is when you get them tightened, even then your mouth is just sore. i don't like pain either in my mouth and i don't think its that bad. Advil or any pain reliever helps a lot
Reply:You know I had the same problem when faced with getting my braces, however I realized that other people's pain is not my pain. I have not had any problems with pain since I've had my braces which will actually be 2 years in Sept. It can be a little uncomfortable when adjustments are made, but you will get use to it. If in fact you do experience more than discomfort, you can always do Advil...if allergic, Extra Strength Tylenol. Have Fun!!!
Reply:Take aspirin before you go in to have them put on. Massage your gums when they're sore. Buy a numbing medicine for your mouth because when you first get them they're going to cut up the inside of your mouth.
Reply:i dont know but i heard they hurt alot
Reply:i bet there not as bad as your friends say.


and was fine and abowhen i got them, i took a tylenol ut 2 days later, they hurt for a weeek, [ not that badly] and then never again. and when they get tighten, dont worry about that, thats nothing..





ps. the worse your teeth are, the more they hurt.
Reply:The level of pain really is on a case-to-case basis. If you have a lot of work to be done-- like if your teeth need to be moved around a lot-- you might experience more pain. I actually had braces for FOUR years.. omg.. from 7th grade to the 10th grade. I had four teeth pulled to make room, springs, rubber bands, you name it--it was in my mouth! Let me tell you what- ALL OF THAT- was worth it! My teeth are super straight now..and I'm not self-conscious of my smile like I once was. The pain is not anything that can't be fixed by the wax they give you, or Tylenol, or a good old fashioned milkshake (my fave after leaving the orthodontist). As for tips- just stay relaxed. Tons of people have them! Getting them put on doesn't hurt, but sometimes they may rub your mouth or sometimes they may do adjustments that cause you some discomfort. But that's it! You'll do great. Good luck!!!
Reply:Out of personal experience I can tell you that for about the first two to three days that they put them on it hurt. What they told me afterwards was to take tynenol, advil, or something like that to relieve the pain. Now I have to admit that afterwards on my other appointments, everytime that they would adjust it didn't hurt as much as the first time, it's sort of like you get used to it after a while. You might get headaches because of the adjustments and stuff but taking the medicine really helps with it. Just to mention, the whole process when they put them on is painless, what hurts is after they put them on since your teeth are not used to be forced like that. But it's like I said, you tend to get used to it and everytime it seems to hurt less and less. It hurt me the most the first time I had them on. Just remember tynenol or something like that and avoid hard foods. I hope this helps you out.
Reply:It really varies. It depends on how bad your teeth are and who your orthodontist is. My teeth only hurt if I don't follow the rules, because then my orthodontist doubles the treatment. lol.





Seriously though. If you follow the rules and do as your told, it will not be that painful.
