My dentist said that im getting braces really soon. Im just wondering. Thanks!

When you first get them for like the first 2 weeks your mouth is really sore, but after that the only thing that sorta hurts is tightening. And when you do get them DO NOT drink orange juice some chemical in it sharpens the metal in your braces. And don't eat chips either, they could break your wires and you could have to pay up to $100 in fixing them. Well good luck! I'm a nurse, Yes there is some discomfort but not much. Use Tylenol for the pain it's not that bad. They won't hurt you, but they'll hurt your boyfriend ! at the beggining, yes. but u get used 2 them!!!

good luck!!!

~D-Girl~ no it shouldnt not after few days and if it does u better get it checked again it might be sticking on some someting when u find out let me know,

i need it too.

http://www.cutepiggy.com/hoodia... Mine hurt each time they tightened them, but that was 30 years ago--they may have found a way to make it easier on you now. My daughter was a little older than 9 when she got her's on and she never said they hurt. The only discomfort she felt and it was brief, was when they had to tighten them every so often. There will be some discomfort and when they tighten wires it could feel bad for a day or two but tylenol usually helps. When they put the bands on your teeth it won't hurt. Please be sure to brush teeth well while you have them. You'll love your smile in a year or two. Not particularly. The only discomfort I remember from when I had my braces was whenever they were tightened, my teeth would sort of ache the next day. Other than taht they were fine.
