How long do braces hurt?

I'm getting braces Monday so I'm just wondering how long they will hurt

  • About 3 days.

  • Some people take it differently because some people have a higher tolerance of pain. Due to sports I have a high tolerance of pain so it only took me a few hours to get over the pain but most people it takes about 3-5 days. After that you won't even be able to tell that they are there. The only time they will hurt is when you get them tightened but that only lasts a day or so. You're going to be fine.

  • i had braces FOREVER . 4 and 1/2 years . they do suck, but its worth it in the end . they with hurt for a week about it, and every time you get them tightened for the first couple times it will hurt to . and for the food thing ? you have to brush . there really isnt much else you could do . you could buy those little wisps or whatever you call them tho, so you dont have to haul around your toothbrush and toothpaste . lol . hope i helped you some !

  • 3 days to a week

  • it really depends with different people. braces dont hurt, you just feel pain on your teeth and gums. it hurt me for about 5 days but each day the pain keeps on wearing down. and also when they tighten them it only hurt me for about 2 days. they really arent horrible.

  • took me about 3 or 4 days. stick to soft foods, I had a diet of Ice Cream for a week :P

  • about from 2 days to a week or so.

  • just for 2 days after:)
