Does it hurt when they put the bands on and does it hurt after/later? Which hurts more?

Question

I currently have 6 spacers on and I'm 13. I'm getting the bands put on during my next appointment which is on July 4th. Does it hurt when they;re putting it on and does it hurt after/later? Which hurts more? And on July 18th I'm getting my braces put on. Does the braces hurt? Does the braces hurt more or does the bands hurt more? IM SCARED! @#$%^&* Please help!

I dun even know... my ortho sent me a sheet and says the 2nd appointment is for - Bands are fitted around the posterior teeth to provide the anochor for the archwires or tracks. (confusing?) The most frequent complaint at this stage is cheek-biiting while chewing; and irritation tot he tongue while eating; and sometimes talking. SInce the 3-4 days following the band placement is the most difficult, i suggest you eat softer foods and like so on?

And does it hurt a lot after the braces are put on and they start to move teeth?

Answer 1

Both of my sons got braces recently. The first one had pain every time they tightened his braces, but it usually only lasted one day each time. The other one has had very little pain, even when they added the bands.
You can't tell until it happens.
Good luck.

Answer 2

I don't know what the heck your talking about you need braces on before you get bands duh and second of all the band hurt when you get them on the second time you get your braces tightened.
