Does it hert when you get your braces?

Ok...I just got them today at 10:30 am and they felt really weird at first like my mouth was full. They felt really big. Also its weird closing your lips cause they are so dry when they take the lip separators out (So my advice would be to put on some chap stick or lip balm...) Its been about 7.5 hrs and they don't hurt yet. But they will tomorrow. Although I can feel them getting sore : (. I know that they will hurt very bad after adjusting appointments so I'm going to take Tylenol or Advil.\n\nGood luck with your treatment

Having a MRI when you have braces will not hurt you in the least. It will not cause any ill health effects, and you will not feel any pain. \n\nBraces may cause distortion of the images, especially the part of the brain closest to the mouth. This is also true on a MRI of the cervical spine (neck). If you have a removable retainer or dentures, we would ask you to take it out prior to a scan or your brain or neck. If your mouth has unremovable appliances, we just go ahead and scan you anyway. \n\n"Objects that may interfere with image quality if close to the area being scanned include: Dental fillings (while usually unaffected by the magnetic field, they may distort images of the facial area or brain; the same is true for orthodontic braces and retainers)."\n\nhttp://www.radiologyinfo.org/content/safety/mri_safety.htm\n\n"Fillings in your teeth, dental braces, and permanent bridges may cause some distortion of the MR image around the mouth area, but will not cause harm to you or the MRI equipment." \n\nhttp://www.uihealthcare.com/topics/testsandexams/magneticresonanceimaging.html

Not likely. Unless you have DENTAL insurance specifically, most regular health insurance companies consider braces to be a cosmetic procedure.

It depends on the person and how quickly his/her teeth show movement or how much movement he/she requires! I only had braces for 10 months...my husband had them for 5 years! It is difficult for an orthodontist to speculate how quickly your teeth are going to move!\n\nSource(s):\nExperienced Dental Assistant

Hi again. \nDon't worry about your braces. They are temporary, cute, and believe it or not, they show people how strong you are. There are so many of us out there who can't take a little criticism over the way we look. You decided to expose yourself for months in order to better yourself. I applaud you. So yes... guys do like girls with braces.

I had braces, and for the first few days your mouth is sore, but it goes away. You should eat soft foods that don't require much chewing. If you get your braces tightened it will also hurt a bit. But your mouth may be used to everything because you already have spacers. It's different for everyone. Good luck!

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.  :)

well if you say you have as many problems with your teeth as you do, i would say ya, you need braces. Keep in mind though, you may not just get bottom braces. If your teeth do a lot of shifting when you get them, they wont align with the top teeth, so you'll have to get the tops ones as well.

You can always get clear braces (I know a few adults who have them and you can't tell they have braces unless you really look).  It can never hurt to boost your self-esteem, so if you feel it will then go for it!  It's nice that your husband loves you just the way you are though!

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 :)

I've never had them, but my little brother got them when he was 12 and didn't end up getting them off until he was 15.  The orthodontist wanted him to leave them on another year, but he was tired of the pain involved.  The braces themselves didn't hurt except about a day after each time they were tightened, but he got really bad canker sores from them and they cut up the insides of his mouth really bad.  What made it worse was the fact that he was in karate and every time someone would hit his face, he ended up with more cuts that turned into more canker sores.  He hated having them, but his teeth look really nice now.

Maybe.  You need to ask when you call for the appointment how far out they are scheduling their banding appointments.  Their schedule may be full until the first of next year.  \n\nThe first step is the initial exam.  The orthodontist will see what exactly needs to be corrected and let you know whether you are ready to start or if you need to wait.  (You didn't state your age, so I don't know whether you have all of your permanant teeth. If you still have baby teeth they probably will have you wait for all permanant teeth to come in. That cuts down on the length of your treatment.)  \n\nIf you are ready to start, the next step is records (x-rays, pictures and impressions)  Sometimes that can be done the same day as the exam, schedule permitting.  Then an appointment to place the braces.  Even if you need teeth removed, that can be done with the braces on.  (That's actually how my boss prefers to have it done.)\n\nYou also have to consider the financial aspect.  Most likely you will pay at least 1/4 of the total treatment fee as a down payment.  Our initial down payment for a full set of braces is $900 the day we put the braces on.  There's also a charge for the records (we charge $200).

Yes it will eventually, I had braces too and they pulled some of my teeth to make space for other teeth, all the gaps got filled up, it took about two to three years before everything was perfect.

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"
