  • I've had braces, they hurt a couple of days after they get put on but you can get through it. Email me if you have any questions or would like some tips! Hope this helps xo

  • I had braces before. The first time you get it, then the nexy 2-3 days your gum is very tender. Try eating soft food. The little bite of chewing a juice box straw itt hurts. After that it doesn't. The rest only if the tighten it it hurts a little

  • I had braces and really didn't want them but afterwards I was told how cute they were && I loved them. I took two advils before I went in. The day they were put on really didn't hurt though, when I went back and had them tightened is when they'd be sore. however, they weren't as painful as I had imagined.

    Think in terms of the future- they are worth it!

  • okay! was kinda harsh

    well i have braces;everyone said it was a minor pain.

    i wish they would of told the truth :( lol.

    i'm gonna just be flat out honest.

    it was MAJOR pain.

    not trying to scare you.

    advil, tylenol, etc doesn't help at ALL, so don't even bother to buy some. lol.

    wear lots of chapstick when you get em on b/c your lips will be very dry.

    the process is about 2 hours.

    the tightening gives you pain but not as much as when you first get em on.

    the time goes by SUPER quickly.

    i got mine in feb. and get em off in jan. it went by so quick!

    if you think negatively it will go by much slower.

    so think positively and how you'll have a perfect smile after the pain it'll go really fast.

    good luck!

  • i have had braces for 2 years now and they arnt that bad. when you get them on they dont hurt.. but then like later that day. it kills. like majorly. some advice is to take advil for something before you go or right after you get out of the appt. and then other than that they hurt when you get them tightend. but thats about it. lol they will prolly look good on you so no worrys on that. just get cool colors and have fun with it. your teeth with look soo pretty when your done!

  • Yes,I have braces. It's been two years... I begged my mom to let me get invisalign... but it was simple,I was getting metal braces. So i just dealt with it. It's not that bad...and it'll make your teeth straight and pretty.

  • I have braces now. I hate em. ou will too. It is soooo worth it tho.

    PS...boys think there cute. Like, its an excuse to kiss or what not

  • I work for an orthodontist.It is Just a short time of your life to invest for the rest of your life.In the long run you will be so glad you did.All 3 of my kids had them and their smiles are gorgeous.
