The first time I got them I didn't even feel pain. Then some hours later they started hurting. I get mine tighten every 3 weeks..it hurts like the first 3 days or so, but not a BIG pain, just a little. I don't think they look bad. Buy at least you will have straight teeth.
 So I think it's worth the pain.

omg i want braces soo so bad
reasons? because.. 01. they straighten your teeth 02. you can play music with the rubber bands 03. you can change the colors 04. its a funny feeling if u feel ur teeth with ur tongue 05. everyone has them, its kind of 'IN' these days |

I get mine the end of this month. =] My ortho says it'll be about half an hour...Which isn't too bad, bring some music. =] Oh yeah, && wear lip balm because your lips might get really dry. They don't usually hurt until they tighten them, which I think is every month? I think people w/ braces are cuter. =P I'll say boys more so I don't scare the girls, lol. I hope you like gelatin, Icees, soup, && teething rings...I know, why teething rings? They helped me w/ my expander && spacers.

never had braces before. They look cool. Unless you get something like the girl from Braceface.

braces hurt when you first get then on, especially when you brush your teeth and flossing is such a bother
i broke my braces a whole bunch of times because i keep on eating, and i always swally the rubber bands.. so i was a regular at my dentist |

I think this topic would serve better in the health forum then in girls locker.
Mods, feel free to move it if you disagree. -moved to interests/health- |

I heard that they hurt most when you get them tightened. Pick any color BUT black.

they hurt when you get them on or when you get them tightened the first 2 or 3 days but you'll get used to it. just remember you can eat whatever you want as long as you don't bite down hard. for example you can eat a muffin and bite down really hard when you chew and make your braces pop.

Well since you already have your braces on..there's no need for this to be open anymore.
