ive just had braces fitted and im in quite a bit of pain.
How long does the pain last for?
I have to go back every 6 weeks to get them tightened, will that increase the pain?
Yeah at this very moment I'm writing the message my braces are hurting! A week isn't that bad compared to a broken bone I'm very sore and some sharp metal is pokeing into my cheeks!!
i have braces
got them 3 days ago and pain was severe but has decreased a lot
i eat weetabix with banana sometimes
hopefully pain will be gone in 2 to 3 days as i am going dubai and want to enjoy there food mmmmmmmmmmmm-mmmmmmm!
(good luck) they should'nt hurt much longer 4-5 days
I just got braces yesterday and they hurt horrrrrrribblllyyyy!!!! I got up like 3 times last night to put on that wax stuff to see if it would help but it didnt do anything major for me. Finally, at about 4:45 in the morning, I ignored the pain and went to sleep. I called my ortho today and he said the pain would subside in about 2-5 days. Hopefully they won't hurt for my first day of school. Even though I don't want to go back, I want to enjoy as much as I can WITHOUT worrying about my braces. Good luck!!!
i had my top brace put on tuesday, it really hurts when eatin solid foods because when biting into it you tend to use your top and bottom front teeth (well i do anyway). Its frustrating because i cant kiss my boyfriend as well at the momment lol. And the metal keeps digging into my gum a little which is a pain. I bought interdental brushes to clean in between the bits of my teeth the toothbrush cant reach (really reccomend it) it helps. The most annoying part of having braces is having food stuck in your teeth aswell (i reccomend taking a small bottle of mouthwash with you when your out). Im 15 years of age by the way lol. But yeh .. no pain .. no gain. If you want straight teeth you gotta suffer a little bit! x
I just got braces done yesterday and let me tell you they hurt, i cant stand them, i cant eat or put any kind of pressure to my teeth, today i cried because i couldnt stand the pain good luck to all that are getting them and be prepared on not eating all the good stuff you are used to eating. lol. good luck!!!
