I know this much...

They hurt.

[racegirl24A]

they hurt like a b!tch. have a lot of ice cream at your house the first few days after you get them, and the week after you get them tightened, it helps to eat cold stuff like that.

yup, there are other braces topics.

you won't like them.
thats what i heard.
heh.
i never had them or ever will =)
i think.

On what I have researched lately in Yahoo! search and Google search, I have detected on someone's blog (4 blogs to be exact) that on their personal experience, they hurt a lot. But, dentists are gonna apply a treatment to make it numb, an anastacia. Don't worry.

[IIO__oII]

i didnt think mine hurt that much when i had to get em....
but then, it was 3 years ago. i dont remember much. :]

[Mireh]

Prepare yourself to starve. I got them 3 days ago, and I already lost 5 pounds due to lack of eating

[silver-rain]

eh, i've never had braces. but from my friends and what i've heard, they seem to hurt at first.

[dani41790]

for the first several months they r gonna hurt everytime u get a tightening but afta that u get used to it. do not eat anything thats realli realli chewy like caramel cuz it can break ur braces n stuff like that. if u cannot eat anything cuz of the pain then umm try eating soup

[sweetdreamsx3]

Yeah, if you get a tightening, it's going to hurt the next day..And although they say not to chew gum...well the "worst" thing that happened was that the metal thing on your big tooth came off, but just put it back down and it's all good... :D I have retainers now, but I miss having braces..LOL the colorful things you have on your teeth! >.< But yeah...oh welps :D Have fun getting braces! It hurts like h3ll, but it depends if the doctor tightens it...

And one time I woke up from yesterday of a doctor's appointment and like Omg....I was grrr even when I was BARELY touching my teeth..but *shrugs* Depends on if your doctor tightens it mostly...have fun with the braces!

[FilipinoFaShow]

mouth full of metal...hmm...interesting....nope....never had braces....i don't think i'll ever hav 'em....my cuzzin has those invisible thingys, she said those don't hurt

[eggscezz]

my friends told me braces hurt.. im glad i dont have braces.. or if you have to have braces, use invisalign.. it's kinda expensive though..

[aznriceboi]

i would image that they hurt alot. luckily for me i didn't have to get mines done

[me_myself_andi20...]

AND I MEAN ALOT!! and like eat porrifge or some soft stuff u wont be able to chew...... and yeah after like a couple of months ud get used to it and u wont feel anything... well dont eat ice... the braces will come off....

[angel-roh]

hmm... brush ur teeth every day and nite???? i dont know but ummm i guess dont eat junk foods before u put braces... i heard it hurted like pain in the ass-_-

[cutielilsuga]

braces puts a limit on what you can eat which sucks

[mechwarrior1989]

Braces suck. The worst part about braces is that they look horrid in pictures. Second is that the first few days they hurt like a b!tch, and the inside of your cheeks get stuck in them and you get cankersores. So use that wax. Other than that, they're fine. Oh and they don't really limit what you eat. Eat what you like, it doesn't matter. So long as you don't break too many brackets. I've only broke one and that was like 30min after I got the braces on.

[biz451]

thank god for my 'decent enough' teeth! ill never have to get braces!

[whomps]

I love my braces! Mostly changing the colors and stuff. It's cool. Uhmm take tylonel when it hurts. The pain reliever ones.. and uhm.. basically yeah. What comes, what happens. =p It hurts the first couple of days.. but you get use to it. I hate getting the molding thing done though. That hurt the most out of anything.. I think. Yeah.

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

i advide u to get lip balm and napkins.......DRULE ALERT!!!!!

[biz451]

lol yea if i had braces i wouldnt want to be caught drooling!

[gvoxford]

I've had braces for about a year and six months and I'm very used to it now. Of course they'll hurt and be sore in the beginning and when they're tightened but you'll get used to it. But one time they tightened mine sooo much...or something and I lost 12 pounds in six days. Not that I'm complaining ^_^ downsides: the pain, ruins pictures (too much), and cuts your mouth up.
I get mine off in November!

[me_myself_andi20...]

DROOL ALERT

^^^ HES RITE!!!! i have had mine off for like a year and i still drool dont eat apples they get stuck in between

[waccoon]

Run for your life. They hurt.

[xx angelbabu xx]

ok.. before you get your braces, ask your orthodontist if he has vaseline or chapstick or whatever.. and if he does, put it all around your mouth.. it tends to get really dry if you dont have anything on..

umm.. ask for wax! my orthodontist didnt give wax to me and it hurt like hell..

its going to hurt for like 3 days to a week.. live with it..

thats all i can think of right now... good luck!

[ammorlia]

First several months? They stopped hurting after a day.

I got the again recently and this it was it feels like.

Day 1: when you get it. No pain/ Very little.
Day 2: Intense Pain
Day 3: Back to normal

The only thing that sucks is that food gets stuck very easily.
