yes your teeth feel twice as big! they also feel slimy and when you first look in the mirror, its kind of scary but you get usto it. i recommend you wear your retainer as much as you need to or maybe more. Otherwise your teeth will go back and you'll need braces again!

It hurts the inside of your lips, but don't worry, you'll get used to it after a few days. You might have trouble eating, I know I did, but I also know other people who hardly had any trouble at all. They just feel weird after you get them on. Good Luck!

just get the braces, I'm on a waiting list to get my jaws broken then reset as my teeth stick out quite a bit if i had got braces when i was young i wouldn't have to go through the worry of getting braces plus getting my jaws broken and reset, go for it if your conscious of your teeth you will be glad when they are all fixed

well i had braces for a year and it SUCKED! but it hurt for 4 days. what i did was took and asprin every day. i would say eat soup and mash potatos. hot things helped me. but every time you go to grt the adjusted\njust take an asprin AND THAT WILL HELP ALOT! \nand use the wax that they gave you (if they gave you any)

Braces are very cute- but can be uncomfortable at first.  They improve teeth very greatly, and straighten them.

Just relax you don't have to get braces unless you have really bad teeth, you don't need a doctor to tell you if that is the case. If you do get braces your teeth will be sore for 3-5 days after the spacers go in. Stock up on yogurt and ice cream. When they adjust your braces you might fell a little pain for a few hours but not more then a day. My braces where on for about two years. I got use to them after a month. You have nothing to worry about. Hundreds if not thoundsands of people get braces on or off every day. Hope this helps.

Yes, they will hurt at first.  The reason is that teeth are actually attached to tiny little tentacles that connect to the tissue and then to the bone.  The reason they hurt is because they're moving and it moves the nerves.   \n\nThe GOOD news is that they only hurt for a day or two when you get them tightened.  \n\nI had invisalign for a couple of years (you could always do that) but braces are more effective, work faster and are cheaper.\n\nI think they look totally cool.  You;ll be happy you had them when your teeth are dynamite afterwards.   A gorgeous smile is the greatest thing a person can posess.  It's universal and everyone understands a smile.  :)

NOPE !!! don't worry about it, my boyfriend and I both wear braces and we have never gotten stuck. Just be careful not to hit each other when you are going to kiss, you might hurt each other that way. ;)

I'd say about 97% of my patients don't need to be numbed while we seat the crown.  What you should expect is to feel some cold sensitivity and some "zings" as they take the crown off & on to make any adjustments. The worst part will be when they put the permanent crown on with the "cement" which is room temp. It will feel VERY cold for about 15-30 seconds and then will get better and better. Most patients say they would rather put up with a little bit of cold for a few seconds rather than being numb for hours.   Hope this answers your question.

ahh! i remember spacers!\n\nA tylenol works pretty well. or advil. whatever. But any painkiller will work. haha. I rememebr taking a tylenol everytime I got my braces tightened. XD\n\nand do braces hurt? it really depends on your orthodontist. but yes, you usually will feel some pain. But when your orthodontist puts on braces or tightens them, you wont feel any pain at first. Just pressure and tension. haha. during that time is your oppurtunity to EAT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE because baout 2 or 3 hours later your braces will HURT for the next few days... TT_TT\n\nBut it doesnt hurt 24/7. Just when you get them tightened which is about.. once a month.\n\nbut like a said. any painkiller works pretty well.

Yes you need braces especially if yout teeth have gaps between them. It don't matter if you haven't got your wisdom teeth yet but you need them to make your teeth sraight and the ones that go up and down go straight. And especially that you are at a young age. It'll be better to get them right now so you will have sraight teeth when you are in High School. And an over bite is when your top teeth go don't touch the bottem teeth. And an under bite is when the bottom teeth don't touch the top teeth. And when you get braces your teeth will hurt a little because those are the effects of your teeth getting sraight and moving around so you will have a nice smile when you get them off. To clean your teeth brush and floss daily the same way you do when you don't have braces on. I had braces and I got them taken off in February. I would recommend that you get them to also remember guys like girls that have a nice smile or braces because your teeth will be straight. And when you have braces you have to go to the Orthodontics every month to tighten your rubber band and pick different colors for your braces it's very cool getting differnt colors to match what you are gonna wear. Well good luck finding answers bye. If you have any other questions e-mail me about it.

umm i used to have braces and i have a water pic and it worked awesome and you can change the pressure of the water so you can make it as soft or as hard as you want then you might want to take some mouth wash and rinse your mouth so you get that clean feeling.  hope it all works out for you

A relative of mine just got new dentures, for a while, they felt big and bulky in her mouth, and she couldn't stand it.\n\nIt's completely 100% normal.\n\nGive it a few weeks and you'll hardly notice they're there.\n\nKeep in mind, you've gone from having nothing there, to a big mouthfull of new teeth, they're new, and awkward feeling, just like with anything of the sorts. Good luck to you!\n\n(And oh, my relative got used to them in about 3 weeks)

If you just had your braces put on, they probably just said to go on a liquid diet to reduce the pressure on your teeth. I know that hours after I had my braces put on, I went back to school and had chicken tenders for lunch, so I think it really just matters what you feel comfortable eating. Although you can pretty much eat what feels comfortable to you, you should always avoid hard or sticky foods the whole time you have braces on. Foods like hard toffee, caramel, non-sugar free gum, thin crust pizza, and popcorn could put so much pressure on your teeth that some of the brackets pop off or wires break, so NEVER eat them with braces on! I thought that I could do it anyway, so I ate some caramel, and it pulled off a bracket that exposed a wire that kept jabbing me in the cheek and I had to go back to the orthodontist to get it fixed. It really hurt though, so I never did it again. Although they say that you can't eat gum, you CAN eat sugar-free gum according to my orthodontist.

hey, i had braces for 2.5 years.. ijust got them off earlier this year... those rubber bands are a pain... just take some aspirin... itll go away after a few days.. but the bad thing is that each time you get them adjusted... it will hurt for a day or two again... good luck, but keep your mind on the goal... beautiful teeth... well worth it!
