According to my two friends with braces: It hurts. Don't try to eat anything hard for a few days. Also, if you get rubber bands along with the braces, it hurts even worse. Don't try to eat anything SOLID for a few days.

Well I got my braces.... Dang it feels wierd.... Please keep posting though. Thanks:)

-Braceface Me XD

Its hurts but its worth it..

Ah braces.

First few days are a pain in the ass. Teeth gunna be sore, gunna hurt to chew stuff.
Ask parents for some Tylenol or Ibuprofen to kill the soreness. My advice: When you get to wearing rubber bands on your braces, wear them. I didn't choose to wear mine and I had to wear mine for an extra year.

Also dental hygiene is difficult. Keep those teeth clean with braces.

Well you better expect braces lol

Nothing bad about it just the fact some people may still be playing old logic and say something along the lines of "hey look, its braceface" or similar. Not very common though. Also when a bracket breaks you have to go to the dentist and get it fixed.

Edit: also most if the things they say don't do or eat is false. Like make your food small. Hell no. I eat like I did everyday.

I had to get 8 teeth pulled out before I could get them on.
All in one sitting

Anyways, it only hurts for a little bit and after that, its all good

Just be ready to not be able to eat toffee, popcorn or anything sticky... even though I did anyways.

The first week hurts like HELL! But after that you forget you even have them.

Getting them on is no problem. They glue the dang things on. Doesn't hurt or anything. Afterwards make sure to cut up your food and try to eat the back of your mouth because it will hurt for a couple of days

Hey one of my subs How are those builds buddy?

Getting braces only hurts about a week or so after you first get them on, and about a day after you get them tightened (if you get them tightened), Other than that' you should be fine, and you should be able to still eat most things.
Operation itself takes a little while, so they might shoot you up with painkillers or put you under. I had neither when I had the work done, lucky me I suppose. But it's really nothing to worry about. So, good luck:3

Well when you are getting the braces put on the worst part is when they tighten it but it doesn't hurt it just doesn't feel comfortable... Second you have to eat certain food.

it should hurt when they put them on becuase they just glue them on but for the next few days your teeth will be really sensitive sometimes ( or at least mine were ) it will probally hurt for a few days but after that you forget you even have them on it just takes a little bit to get use to them

Idk, I'm getting braces soon. I feel the same way : P

ChaosExpertIt's not that bad at all.
Most of the time I forget I even have braces.

EvilKittyWizardFrom what my GF told me, the operation goes like this:
1. They clean your mouth and teeth.
2. Your mouth is dried as to prevent unnecessary salivation
3. You get a small shot of painkiller (maybe morphine, idk) around your gums, and you won't feel a thing, really. I've gotten the shot before.
4. Now this is the part I'm not sure of:
The braces are either bolted into place in your teeth (again, you feel nothing whatsoever)
OR
Small holes are drilled and they're set into place with a cavity-filling substance.

Don't worry about anything and you'll be fine! Science has proven that if you focus on good results, they come! Focus on bad results, and they come instead!

Both wrong.
From my experience they glue the brackets on.

This is the Modern Age

They Glue them on now... Well i had mine glued on

It's not that bad its doesn't hurt trust me i got braces 6 week ago it takes time to get used to them so like the first comment said you gotta eat little pieces its fun seeing peoples reactions when you get em other than that good luck! Also i didn't get i shot :/ ? But they use glue to stick on the braces, the glue taste really bad! and then they put the colors on and your done

i had 4 teeth pulled out from the roots for my braces
2 on the top
and 2 on the bottom

:3

But that's only when you have not enough room in your mouth like me xD

When I was told that I was going to get braces, I was nervous. I thought the process of the orthodontist putting them in would hurt, but it really didn't. This was just my perspective, though.

Having to cut up your food onto super small bites and it takes you forever to eat On a good note you look twice as good once you get them takin off!!!
