How long do braces hurt ??

I just got braces on Tuesday January 13th. I was just wondering how long they will hurt for??? It really sucks not being able to eat much....

  • You should be fine soon! they hurt for a couple of days and then the pain will go away.but when they tighten the braces again, you will be in pain again. you start to get used to it after a while

  • Depending on how tight your orthodontist made your braces, your teeth may hurt for several days or for just a few days. Usually, all pain will go away in a week and most of the major pain will go away in a few days. You cannot really do much about it except eat soft foods until the pain subsides. Medications for pain relief do not help very much and the first few days are the worst.

  • Hi. The first time they are on....and each time they are tightened or adjusted, they will hurt a bit, but only for a day or so. Take a couple of Tylenol or something similar and you will be fine!!

  • I got mine on tuesday too! :]

    Mine still hurt but not too bad today the metal is just starting to cut my cheeks. I think we should feel no pain by saturday :D

    Good luck!

  • Oh, your only on your like what 2nd full day of having them? When I got mine it took me like .. 4 days for all the pain to be gone. But I still reccoment eating soft for a few weeks.

  • I wont hurt at all. I had brace before and they didn't hurt.
