Yes, they hurt, but they are just the first of many things about having braces that will hurt, so get used to it.  Try taking some tylenol before you go to the ortho.  Other than that, there's not much you can do about it.

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 :)

best for people with minor tooth misalignment.  \n\nif there is lots of crowding or big spaces throughout the oral cavity traditional braces are still better.\n\nyour dentist can decide best which is a better choice.  consultations are usually covered 100% by insurance...ask your dentist (orthodontist)

visit an orthodontis, they will let you know if you need braces.

My daughter is 6 and her dentist said that she was going to need braces as she gets older.  He stated that he would prob. send her to an orthodontist at about 8 depending on how many of her baby teeth are gone.  They can start to work on little things but not put in the actual braces yet.  I also have a friend whose daughter has been going since she was 8 to have them try to fix some other things before putting on the braces (her teeth were really bad though).  It depends on what they have to do prior to putting on the braces and if he is ready to start wearing them.  What does the orthodontist say?

Ask your general dentist, if you have one.  If you don't have a general dentist, then you need to find one and go for a checkup before seeing the orthodontist to make sure you don't have any cavities or gum disease and to get your teeth cleaned before having braces put on. \n\nDr. R.

i have braces right now, they might be a little sore the first day or two (they diudnt for me), but not really bad, ask your orthodontist for something that might help ease any pain.  you'll probably have trouble cewing for thefirst day or two also, just because your mouth is getting used to getting bigger.  occupy yourself the best you can for the days following so you dont have time to think about it.  if you have any questions or problems with your braces IM me or e-mail me id be happy to help

I think there are invisible braces now. They fit over your teeth like a retainer. You get fitted for them by your orthodontist and they come in sets that you where for a few months each.

really, your dentists needs to look at you and evaulate the situation in your mouth. its impossible to say here what an orthodontists would ideally need for you to get the best treatment with braces. your dentist and orthodontist would consult on this using your xrays ect to decide.

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

I think only you can determine if it's a "bad thing." \n\nMany others have mentioned a retainer, but it's not always about that. You have to assess the reasons you need/want braces a second time and ask yourself if it's worth the time, cost, and discomfort, then you will have answered your own question.  \n\nThere are a variety of reasons people endure braces twice. Having a healthy bite is every bit as important as the cosmetic aspects of having a great smile, so if it's about your bite, I would not say it's a "bad thing." The first time I had braces, my bite was not properly aligned even though my teeth looked straight. Ultimately, a misaligned bite has caused permanent damage and pain in my jaw (TMJ), as well as excessive wear on my front teeth. In order to correct my bite, I'm in braces again after 25 years! \n\nIs it a pain in the behind? You bet. Hurts like heck and I can't believe I didn't remember what a hassle all the cleaning is! And expensive, holy cow! BUT for ME personally, is it a BAD thing? Nope. I'm saving my teeth, correcting my bite, reducing my pain, and as a side benefit, my teeth will still be straight. \n\nLook at the pros and the cons from your own perspective, and you'll know the answer.

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.

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.

Yes but what do you expect.

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.
