do braces hurt when they put them on u?

Answer 1

yes, you will be sore, but it will go away in a couple of days...
then the next time the dentist tightens them, you will be sore again, and so on...

Answer 2

It is uncomfortable because your mouth is held open for a few hours and it has to be dry so that the adhesihve works right. The only part that really hurts is when they slide the wire through the braces and tighten the wire that is pulling your teeth. Then it hurts when they snip off the excess wire. Your mouth and teeth wil be sore for about 3 days. It'll be worth it, when you show off your new smile later. Good luck and stay strong!!!

Answer 3

when they are first putting braces onto your teeth, your teeth will not hurt and you probably will not feel any pain whatsoever... but the next day when you wake up in the morning, your teeth will feel very sore and this will last probably for about a week but no longer... i reccommend taking some tyennol the night you get braces and as far as eating goes I recommend Odwala which is a smoothie type of drink and comes in a variety of flavors but is very filling, but other than that I would just keep reminding yourself about the beautiful smile you will have afterwards!!!

Answer 4

it don't hurt when they put the braces on but it feels weird. The only time it really hurts is when they tighten up on the braces, then it feels like a tooth ache all over your mouth.

Answer 5

Well not when you are getting them put on. But after that, yeah they hurt for a couple days.But you want soft foods the first couple of days, and basically anything you dont have to chew. I tried to eat a sandwich and i basically ended up like sucking on it. But its not that bad, and it usually wont hurt after every tightening, just the first couple. But for the pain-tylenol will help. And trust me, remember to take chapstick with you because when theyre finally done your lips are realllly dry. Good luck, youll be fine.

Answer 6

Doesnt hurt when you get them but got to get used to having them in your mouth.When the braces start to work they cause a dull pain for almost a week in the beginning.

Answer 7

They cause alot of soreness and pain. Especially if the wire is adjusted and not trimmed off, it scrapes the back of your mouth and HURTS! They give you wax to cover any wires that poke you, but it doesn't help. If you feel a wire poking you at the dentist's office, tell them then, it won't get any better until they trim it off enough to where it doesn't poke and scrape anymore. And, remember to wear your retainer after you get your braces off, I didn't and my teeth moved back.

Answer 8

That is a very interesting question because i should be asking the same one. I have to get them put on also and many people have said that they do not hurt when u are getting them on but, wait until you get home!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

my friend had braces, they pull ur teeth alot and can hurt for a couple of weeks b/c u can feel the pulling, but then it just hurts whenever u get them tightened

Answer 10

it hurts for a couple days every time you go back to the orthodontist to get them tightened. you get them when you have enough adult teeth and if your teeth are not straight. i got my braces when i was in 5th grade. most ppl get them sometime between middle and high school. it took me for years for eveything (including retainers) to be done.

Answer 11

No they just fell sore for a while. When they put on new metal bars to link them together you get the same feeling.
