I wouldn%26#039;t call it %26#039;pain%26#039; more like %26#039;discomfort%26#039;. You can take Tylenol for the pain after they attach the wire, and when they adjust the wire. Make sure you get the dental wax and put it on right after they%26#039;ve put the bands and/or wire on. I.E. use the wax before the metal hurts your cheeks. Also, follow the instructions on what foods you should avoid. And clean your teeth well - get the dental floss threaders so you can still floss under your braces. Brush after every meal and snack - having braces really makes you aware of what you eat and drink.


Just remember - it%26#039;s worth it. You don%26#039;t want to have dentures when you get older. :-)
Reply:when they tighten the braces it is kind of painful. invisaligns break easy if you%26#039;re not careful.
Reply:i think you might be able to get invisalign.


braces hurt only at the beginning, because your jaw is adjusting.


so you%26#039;ll have to eat soft foods and your jaw will ache.


they might take some teeth out in the back, depending on the structure of your mouth and the locations and stuff.


but after awhile, you%26#039;ll get used to it.
Reply:you may have to get a tooth pulled but the rest should be able to get corrected with braces. Invisalign may look better but I don%26#039;t know if it actually works as well as metal braces.
Reply:If your mouth is over crowded then yes you will need 2 teeth out either side of the top. I had four out and it didn%26#039;t hurt but it all depends on the dentist.





The brace does hurt for the first week or so and whenever you get it tightened for a day. You can%26#039;t eat much but it is sooo worth it. After the first two weeks or so you%26#039;ll be back to eatng normal foods and it%26#039;ll all be back to normal and you just get used to it and forget it%26#039;s there.
Reply:Braces only hurt when they first get put on and you cant eat for like 3 days and then after that they are sore for like a week but after you get over that then they are so fine- liek you dont even notice them


and i think al,ost everyone can have invisalign but it costs way more and sometimes looks ugly cos it is just lads of metal in your mouth as it is not as invisible as they like to think :P
Reply:For me it didn%26#039;t hurt that much. They don%26#039;t give you pain meds. or numbing stuff. It is boring though because it takes about 2 hours.
Reply:Invisiline is only for people with minor corrections to make. Braces are a big commitment and they hurt some more than others. I have braces myself and getting them on didn%26#039;t hurt just when they are tightened. Most places will give you a free consultation thou.
Reply:braces are not as bad as they sound...sure your teeth are sore for couple of days but the pain goes away and sometimes i forget that i even have braces. well i had overcrowding on my top teeth and two adult teeth removed and i was terrifyed but it was over before i knew it. the tooth that is slightly up will get fixed by the pressure from your braces. invasalign is an option open to you but i wouldnt recommend it because when i talked my orcthodontist she said you would have more pain with invisaligh because you would be tempted to take them off when you are sore. invasailgn would also mean you would be wearing braces longer because you do not have constant pressure. my opinion is stick with braces...i got mine a couple of months ago and seriously dont believe when people tell you they are horrible because they are not as bad as they sound!
Reply:Well i just got braces on Wednesday and surprisingly it didn%26#039;t hurt that bad it was uncomfortable and a little bit of pain here and there they feel really weird when you first get them but all in all it%26#039;s not that bad. If you do get them cut everything into smaller pieces so you don%26#039;t chock or wreck your braces.
Reply:You probably shouldnt get teeth removed, the wire will move them apart enough to make room for them to be straightened.





They dont hurt, more uncomfortable than anything else. Spacers that you get before your braces hurt, but you wont have those long. When you get them tightened theyll hurt some but only for a day or so.





If your teeth are pretty straight invisalign may be an option, you really have to talk to your ortho about that.
