When they put on the braces it doesn't hurt at all. When they out on the wires it feels tightenedl like your teeth is really tight and close but this is normal. It will be sore on when you chew for the first 1-5 days. it took me about a week before i could start chewing on solids. I've had my braces for 10 days and i'm already use to it.
At first you feel like you have another set of teeth and that the braces will fall off or something but you will get a hang of it.
As for the headgear, I don't know because I will not have that during my treatment.

I don't know what headgear is like but braces... they don't hurt when your getting them put on but they might feel a little weird and tight but mine didn't. Don't worry that much though. GOOD LUCK!

i got mine on last spring. It feels wierd on the first day, you are usually really thirsty and your lips get chapped.. the second day, it really hurts... my teeth hurt for about 5-7 days it depends on the type of brace and how bad your teeth are
for headgear, i suggest just wearing it all the time.. i didnt wear it the first week because my teeth hurt.. it depends on the type of headgear, but mine always hurts around 5 am, but once you take it off, your teeth ache for about 10 mins... it just depends on your gear and your teeth

they may well be useful know what you may and could't consume once you get there. regularly they say no gum, crisps, nachos, gummy candies, and stuff like that. you may consume them in case you prefer to, they're in basic terms confusing to get out of your braces and could even each and every so often wreck the brackets (conversing from journey right here). As for what you need to do until now you pass, no longer something out of the time-honored. I additionally advise that whilst you have your braces, sparkling them ok. that is tedious, yet make the effort to do it. I wiped sparkling my enamel ideal whilst I had braces, yet a number of acquaintances weren't so meticulous and that they ended up having stains on their enamel whilst their braces got here off. additionally, each and every so often the dentists pass away too a lot cord on the decrease back (it extends previous your final enamel and scrapes the realm of mouth). in the event that they do, enable them to nicely known! they are able to record it down so it is not as uncomfortable. All in all, braces are not exciting yet you get used to them! each and every so often getting them tightened is painful, besides the shown fact that it does not final for long. if your enamel and gums are extremely soft in case you have in basic terms gotten your braces on/tightened, i prefer to advise sticking to ingredients certainly one of those soup and yogurt until they're feeling greater valuable. suited of success!
