I used to have braces on both my top and bottom teeth, but i havnt got them anymore.

At first, i thought that they were real bad but then i got used to them and i thought they wernt so bad. I also kinda missed them, when i first got them took off!

They do hurt for a while for the first few weeks or so, and also everytime you go to get them tightened/altered (you teeth feel kinda bruised!!(LOL) ), but most of the time they are fine.

You might not think braces are great at the moment, but believe me, you will be so greatful when you get them off and your teeth are real straight!

I have them now. I got them on last summer, and I was completely dreading it because all my friend already had them and said they hurt so bad. But mine barely hurt at all... my orthodontist said it's cuz he uses thinner wires or something like that. I won't get them off until next summer, which really sux cuz since I'm sorta skipping 9th grade, I'll be like one of 10 sophmores w/ braces.

WDWfanatic288 · Mar 6, 2001

Well I should have them on for like less than 2 years. They aren't really hurting right now-they are just sore.
AFgirl325-that sucks!!! I would be so mad if I were you.
Nsyncraider17-oh dont worry about it...I am a freshman in high school and just getting them. It wont matter...I know a few seniors that have braces on so its no biggie.
Keep answering the poll and replying...I am just a curious person.

Does the aching go away after a week or so? I'll be going to Disney World about a week after I get my braces on and don't want to be in pain there!

I got mine on last July and could barely chew hard food for two weeks. It didn't really hurt when they were putting them on, it was just after. I was expecting it to be more painful because of what my friends told me, but it really wasn't that bad. I play the clarinet in our school band and it was a little bit hard to get adjusted to playing with them on, but now I'm used to them.

dancergirl · Mar 10, 2001

I also have braces. I have had mine for alittle less than a year...I should get them off sometimes this summer...If I wear all of my rubber bands!I too play the trumpet. I am in 8th grade and 3rd chair but I have gone through many hurt lips to get to where I am now! It still hurts when I play! I will hopefully get them off before band camp this summer!

I have to get braces next month! I'm dreading it. I already have headgear for use at night. The orthodontist assured me that it doesn't hurt. Ha! I hurts a lot, and is a real pain. How do brace look on you? Do they make you look a little worse, a lot worse, or the same as before?
Yuck!

AFgirl325 · Mar 12, 2001

.... but today i went it to my orthodontist thinking i was just getting my spacers in when i turns out i was getting on all my braces in the front on!!! :eek:

I thought I was going to die! I got clear and they don't look THAT bad..... :rolleyes:

and i've had them on for about two hours and they don't hurt.... so I hope this calms fears for those of you guys who are dreading it! and if you're really freaked about getting them on cuz you think they'll hurt, take tyenol before hand! :cool:

I had braces on for only 10 months in 6th grade- now i'm in 9th, and don't ever have to go to the orthodontist again! Sorry to rub it in- but I went through it, and you guys will survive! good luck for the first week (i had a ton of sores in my mouth). Get something called Oragel. They sell it at CVS, and it really helps your mouth- i lived of the stuff lol!
