Does getting your braces taken off hurt?

Nah but your teeth feel weird at first.  It takes some getting used to the smoothness of teeth

I just recently got braces and the answer is NO! only when the wire gets longer in the back of your mouth does it hurt, it only happens as your teeth get straighter, and at your next appointment they can clip the wire for you. and I don't know what you all mean about getting them tightened, cause I haven't had mine tightened yet, and If I have it doesn't hurt at all,(obviously it doesn't hurt if I didn't even notice!!)You have nothing to worry about. But as your teeth straighten they will hurt a little bit, and it will be hard to eat, just take some ibuprofen, 'cause it's a muscle relaxer and it will help. So take a deep breath and breathe. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be at all. Good Luck, I hope this helped. anymore questions Email me at, jordan_smith_is_the_best_32@yahoo.com

I have braces now.  They only hurt for a day or two after each visit then you overeat becasue you are hungry from when you couldn't eat.  You could lose weight but braces do not impede on eating all that much.

Unfortunately, yes.\n\nI got braces on and for the first three days I couldn't eat at all because of the pain - I threw up everything I ate.  I walked around with my mouth half-open because if I accidentally clicked my teeth together I'd feel nauseous.\n\nEvery month at tightening time I'd end up in pain.  I finally learned to take ibuprofen about a half-hour before my appointments to stave off the pain.\n\nMy case was apparently pretty extreme but do expect at least some discomfort, especially right after getting them put on or tightened.   We must suffer to be beautiful.

No! Just call your Ortho and get it fixed. As everyone said they use a special type of "glue" to hold the brackets onto your teeth with a blue light--the same procedure used when you were getting your braces put on. If you use this glue I know they are gonna have a hard time taking that bracket off once your braces need to come off--and it probably wont come off.

Yes, your mouth is going to be sore after getting braces placed.  Your mouth will also be sore every time you go to the orthodontist to have them tightened, which is usually once a month.  An hour or so before every orthodontist visit, take 800 mg of Ibuprophen which will help with the discomfort.  Take it again about 8 hours after seeing the dentist.  Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Well I'm not an orthodontist or ever had braces but my friend had the same problem as you if you tooth is a little bit loose they will pull it but if its not there just put a Little metal bar over it in till it falls out.

It can work well depending on the situation.  When they come off you still need to wear a retainer at night keep things from drifting back, all of our teeth shift whether you have had braces or not. The pain is not bad more tenderness

Sure.  Just stay away from sticky, chewy or real hard stuff.  Avoid biting into things like apples, french bread etc.  If you use your teeth to tear your food you could pull the brackets off.  The best way to clean your braces is to loosen the food with a proxy brush, then brush them.  You should also floss your teeth using a floss threader to help you get the floss under the wire and in between the teeth.  I worked in Orthodontics for years and saw more loose brackets and bands because of people eating the wrong foods or eating them the wrong way.  Always cut your food into small pieces and use your back teeth to chew.  You'll have a million dollar smile when your done.

Well..the first time of course it's gonna hurt. Your teeth are gonna be sensitive and your gums sore for..probably a week or so. Depends on your pain tolerance. But then it's better. However everytime you get them tightened..since you're not used to the feeling of the pulls, it'll hurt once again for about a week or so.\n\nSo far, it's only been 8 months for me since I've had them. I'm only supposed to have them for about 14 to 15 months. I'll be getting them off hopefully by May. All I had was a slight gap in my front two teeth, an overlapping of two teeth in the bottom, and slight rotations of two of my bottom teeth at the back. They were messing around with the other bottoms ones.\n\nThe entire payment was cut down from 4000 to about 2300. I got a huge discount. You might want to make sure the dentist takes the insurance you have and have a general check-up (cavaties, fillings, etc) with a dentist who knows the orthodontist. With the referring alone, I got over 600 bucks off my payments. Monthly, it's 160 something bucks.\n\nThe gap that I did have went away a few hours after my first tightening appointment. They put the chains on and put the clear white elastic around the front two. The pressure was so immense that within..6 hours, the gap was completely gone.

YES!...I have friends who have them and they say it works just like braces. They are more expensive buy think about it, its better than having metal wires in your mouth :-&#92; Go for it, the only thing that sucks about it is that you have to take them off if your going to eat anything but one again is not that bad then having braces :)

it will feel a bit numb and then you'll get use to it. Don't worry! "Braces are temporary, a beautiful smile is permanent"

I have had braces on for about 6 months now. 1st you get "spacers" put on your very back teeth, and you wear them for 1 week then you get your braces put on. Spacers are little blue rubber bands that make room in between your teeth so the braces can go on. I thought that this part was worse than getting the actual braces put on. It feels like you have huge Pisces of meat stuck in between your teeth. It is really sore when you bite down, with them on, so plan to eat soft foods for a week or so. Then when it comes time for your braces you feel like your lips are being pushed out and that they look huge, but that feeling goes away within a week or less. And once a month you go to your orthodontist to get your braces adjusted or have new wires put on. Your teeth are sore for a little less than a week after that happens. I personally can't wait until my braces are taken off! Good Luck!

Your teeth don't sound too bad. You just just be able to get a retainer to shift your teeth into place where you want them. The retainer you can take out and put in whenever, or just wear at night. It helps for minor adjusts that you want and is cheaper than braces.

yes, it feels very weird. when my braces were removed my teeth felt lighter and of course smoother. it took quite some time to get used to not having braces. i couldn't stop smiling either.

Your teeth are going to be a little bit sore because of the shifting of the bones.  It will not be extremely painful, only a minor bit.  The brackets might also rub against the lips, but orthodontists give you wax so that you can make tiny balls and put it over the bracket if it's bugging you too much.\n\nI'm currently working as an orthodontic tech, so I know what I'm talking about :)
