It kinda hurts at first, most of the time for about a week. You can take pain killing medicen and it will help a lot. You should eat soft food. Don't worry you'll get used to it in little time. I know I got them on about 2 years ago, that's what happened to me. I hope that helped! :)
they take an hour roughly to go on and its not fun having two sets of hands in your mouth and lots of weird machines and stuff.
*indescribable pain on a monthly bases you can't prepare yourself for in day to day living.
*you've got them on a lot longer if you're 15 or 16 than say 12... softer bones or whatever.
*you go for monthly visits and after the first 6-12 tightening appointments you'll be lucky to chew bubble gum like dentine ice.... after those 12 lets say you'll be fine.
*after the first week of every month you can eat everything and its like their not there really although you see them and they are there when you move your tongue around.
*finally... when their off is the pain over? absolutely not! your teeth always move and shift, if you don't wear a retainer you'll be in the worst pain ever where nothing seems to help, the stuff for toothaches, alcohol if you're older doesn't and Tylenol only gets rid of some of the pain.
think of it as this generations Cosette belts , the teeth don't want to go straight and should never be forced. I tell everyone NEVER to get braces.
**Edit by someone with a brain**
When I got my braces, (7 months ago. 11 more months. XD) they went in, put a piece of rubber in my mouth to keep it open, and put tooth cement or whatever it is on it. They then fastened the brackets on and cured the cement, and strung the wire through and put some bands on. They told me to not eat a LONGlist full of stuff and to only chew sugarless gum, but since I got them on, I have had one toothache and have eaten everything they told me not to, and have yet to have a bracket pop off. Springs, on the other hand, I cannot seem to keep on, but oh well. Yes, they hurt really bad, but only that first night. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. You DO NOT want to go to work/school the next day if your teeth kept you up all night. Once you get them on, you totally forget about them until you brush your teeth or get them tightened. When they are being tightened, they just take the bands off, take the wire out, and put a new wire in and secure it with new bands. Doesn't hurt at all. By the time you are halfway finished with the braces, every orthodontist and nurse in the building will know you. Lol. But all in all, they aren't bad.
One BIG problem that can happen though is if one of your brackets falls off or becomes really loose. Then your teeth can't grow properly, of course if you didn't get the bracket re-glued. Today is a Saturday and one of mine JUST broke! So I'm gonna have to wait until MONDAY( When my orthodontist is open ) to get it fixed and re-glued ( I really hope they don't shift until then!!!) Good luck with your new braces, and I hope this doesn't happen to you (But it's quite simple to fix if this occurs.)
