Re: Do braces hurt?
Ive had them :) They really arent so bad :) They hurt for 1-3 days when you first get them in but painkillers help SO much :) When you get them tightened they hurt, but not for as long and painkillers still work :) x

Re: Do braces hurt?

Re: Do braces hurt?
I completely agree with what everyone is saying. They do hurt for 1-3 days but its not like PAIN its more like really really sore. Take pain killers befor. When you get them tighten it hurts slighly but not a lot. Dont be scared!

Re: Do braces hurt?
Mine hurt for the first few days and one of the metal bands kept rubbing on my tongue and I got so annoyed at it that I wanted to cry all the time. I've had them for about a month now and I haven't had any other problems but those...

Re: Do braces hurt?
I'm not going to lie to you, it hurts and for me it was almost unbearable but it depends on the person. I can't stand pain in my mouth so it was really bad for me. You probably have a way higher pain tolerance than me. The actual process of getting them on doesn't hurt at all. It typically doesn't hurt for a few hours afterwards. My best advice is take some advil or something 15 minutes before you go in and keep taking it every few hours.
Good luck! Before you know it you'll be getting them off. (:

I am not going to lie to you. Yes, they hurt. I had them for seven years.
God bless you always!!!

Re: Do braces hurt?
They don't hurt when they're being put on. They only hurt the second day(:

Re: Do braces hurt?
They don't hurt that bad. The process of getting them on is painless, but the next day your teeth will be a little sore because theyre moving. This what I did: I took an advil every morning. It helps A LOT. Also, you dont want to go and eat normal food once you get them on, because that's when it hurts, because youre chewing on hard food. I basically ate apple sauce and pudding the first few days, then I started eating peanut butter(NOT CRUNCHY) and jelly sandwhiches. Then like a week and a half later I could eat whatever I wanted!! But trust me, people who say "OMG ITS HORRIBLE AND HURTS SOOO MUCH!" are lying. Really. It doesnt hurt lol. BUT. The braces may irritate your lip and make it sore, but thats why they give you wax. if they dont, ask for it, youll probably need it. Just put the wax on your braces where its hurting your lip, and it should be ay-okay!

Put wax on your braces where they are bothering you! If you dont have any, go to your orthodontist and ask him/her for somee! It helps A LOT.

Re: Do braces hurt?
Take painkillers before you go, unless you already went :p but painkillers help as well as soft foods. When they get tightened or you get rubber bands it hurts for a couple days but painkillers help :D
Good luck!
