I got braces today and it feels like World War III in my mouth. 😢 Edit: y'all I got my braces off two weeks ago and the results are AMAZING!! It might hurt when you first get them and everytime they're readjusted, but just remember: it'll all be worth it in the end! Good luck to everyone on their braces journey! :)
Same i got my braces and tongue crib yesterday nd this is terrible..pain, can't eat, can't talk, can't touch nd even can't brush..i am so worried that in the desire of a beautiful smile i will lost my white teeth
@@ahlam4398 the pain should go away in 4 days or a week since you just got them. That pain is usual since your teeth is still adjusting. If it occurs for much longer you should go see the dentist
Smoothiniee12 ... after 2-3 months of having braces I must say, the first 3 weeks are the worst. But later on you get used to it, and I actually started to like them ... :)
Santiago Villegas i don’t understand how u can like them... i mean, u need to brush ur teeth in an other complicated way, it looks ugly as hell, it’s very uncomfortable and one of the most annoying things: food gets stuck :(
Santiago Villegas wow ok lets see if it will get better if u are so positive about this 🤣 anyways i got a question: what do u do when u are for example in the city, u eat some take away food and then food gets stuck. what do u do except going to the toilet or using water to remove the food? or is there even a way to remove it?
To Everyone feeling the pain I know it's gonna be hard . But show some patience. It's worth it. After this , u could smile more confidently showing your teeth. And that's my dear , is the pure happiness
Tip to anyone getting braces!! It shouldn’t start hurting until the very next day so that night when you’re about to sleep, take some Tylenol or Ibuprofen. Take some every six hours until you feel like everything is okay! My orthodontist recommended me to do this!
I got mine on Monday and have had a migraine since Monday night. OTC pain meds did not help. I ended going to Urgent Care for a shot and got no relief. They have me on pain meds and muscle relaxers and today was the first day all week I felt any relief. I still have a headache though 😩.
Something But nothing, my braces were recommended by my dentist too however mine are for cosmetic purposes instead of medical so I had to pay around £3,500
Honestly I just brush them normally like I did without braces and it works perfectly fine, I’m not flossing in braces though because I can’t even get between my teeth
I got my braces done yesterday and I was like- wait this doesn't hurt at all, but now its killing me :( and I feel like I'm not brushing and flossing well, so I spend 30 minutes on that lol
@Alexander Ramirez-Santay mine hurt even if I didn’t touch them... but it only lasts for a week or two.. now, it doesn’t hurt at all lol it’s just a bit uncomfortable.. I’m getting them re tightened in two weeks!
they hurt even if there is no interaction...however, i think you start feeling the pain once they start moving..the pain does last long though and it is worth it
Olivia Stone pretty sure over brushing your teeth won’t do anything it won’t make your teeth look extra white. What’s important is that you brush your teeth twice a day
LuminumLX use medium force and do it carefully, not too much force but don’t just brush softly and then ur done, no. Use average force, just carefully. I hope you’ve got it now❤️
I just got my braces yesterday (4-17-23). I had to use the wax. My appetite has decreased because it’s so much work to brush and floss that I’d rather skip the meal.

I have had my braces for 2 weeks now and let me say it does get easier after the first several days. I still had some soreness the other day when trying to eat chicken so I'm making sure to cut everything up small. I was so hungry the first night but all I could drink was protein drinks. I have been eating soup and smoothies and tbh peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are so easy to eat if you take pieces off and put it in your mouth and by having lots of peanut butter it keeps me full longer. Just some tips!

@@helenoftroy5130 Happy for you! Can you tell me how you care for your mouth hygene with braces on? Do you find any side effect of braces? I just got mine today, and even though I've prepared I still can't figure out how to keep it clean always. It's so much work.
@@nanwijanarko1969 First, my dentist recommended getting a Waterpik. It is so helpful in removing food from your braces. When we travel, it’s a must-have-along, not an option. Second, flossing. Oral B’s Glide deep clean floss works best for me. You can get most of the things you need for caring for your teeth with braces from your orthodontist; things like floss threaders, soft-picks for gentle removal of food between teeth, containers of wax to protect the soft tissues inside your mouth. And of course, brushing your teeth. You can find videos online that show you how to brush with braces. I schedule regular dental cleanings every three months, and go to my orthodontist to remove my wires before going to the cleaning, then afterward, go right back before day’s end to have the wires put back on. It makes cleaning much easier for the hygienist. That’s about it. Hope it helps.
Got my braces on Friday and I couldn’t eat anything had them on almost a week and it’s beginning to become normal again thank god. I’ve lived on pasta and pot noodles for a couple days
I got my braces today and for those who are getting them soon, It doesn't "really" hurt much, altho it is a bit uncomfortable but I got used to it in an hour or 2. I also want to wish you guys the best and good luck, don't forget to brush or even just flush after you eat.
@@nationalmemes5862 from what i know yes but tell your orthodontist when you go in, but for now id use wax. i’m not an orthodontist tho so i might be wrong
I should have known that once I got braces, I technically have to wear retainers for the rest of my life else it will be misaligned again :(( My second dentist said this, my first dentist did not say a thing. My second dentist also said that due to the constant adjustments, the gums are now softer so the teeth are easier to fall off. Anyways, what's done is done. It's painful only in the first few months. You all have to pay more attention to keeping your teeth clean by flossing daily (this takes time but you'll get used to it), brushing twice a day 30-1 hr after a meal, mouthwash, less consumption of sugar and anything acidic. Still working on some of the things here but it's more costly if we don't take care of our teeth as early as possible :)
I have my dental kit for about 2 or 3 months and i haven't used anyting in it as my dentist never told me how to use these things. Thanks for explaining the use of each. BTW flossing is not really easy.I tried it after watching this video.
I got my braces on yesterday.. and at first i was like oh it doesnt hurt at all.. and then after a few hours.. i feel like all of my teeth are falling off cause of the pain 😭 Thanks for the brushing instructions!
Facts I just got mine on yesterday. Although the pain isn’t as bad as I thought it was but some my teeth feel as tho they could be loose (cause of the pain.) even tho they are all permanent. I can’t imagine how my teeth are gon feel when new wires or when it is tightened will feel like .
@@Tia_____ nah it isn’t excruciating pain (actually depends if you have a low pain tolerance.) but it just feels like bruised teeth. But the inside cheeks and the lips can get caught onto some the wire which actually does hurt cause can cause sores but that’s what handy dandy Wax is for. I’m still very new to this tho cause I got mine yesterday 😭 but first pain day for me ain’t as bad as I thought it would be.
i brush my teeth enough to me and the day I went to my appointment last time, I brushed 3 times cause they kept telling me it was time and kept saying not yet but then when I got there my dentist said why I haven’t brushed my teeth good . the shet i felt 😭
I've been to those tightening sessions at least 5 times now and for most of them I got told off for not brushing well. I had an appointment today but I went to get my teeth cleaned at my local dentist before hand so this time I wasn't feeling gutted.
I got my braces on today, i had two of my upper teeth extracted and it hurts so bad😒 Update: two of my lower teeth also got extracted and stitched. This thing hurts more than the first extraction. *beauty is pain
I got my braces yesterday...i got 4 extractions then spacers then tongue crib nd finally braces but can't eat anything nd can't brush i am so worried ...how are your teeth now
@@ahlam4398 it's been almost 4 months and my teeth has really improved that my orthodontist is surprise. I eat anything I want too. It's really comfortable now and doesn't even hurt when I go for tightening.
@@ahlam4398 your teeth will be very sensitive the first month or sometimes more. I at a point regretted starting the process but trust me, I dont anymore.
@@ellenwhyte10 thankyou your reply makes me feel confident nd better...some people say that after removing braces the teeth look yellow even after brushing them daily
@@ahlam4398 I think it all depends on how you treat it. Personally, I brush it after every meal if only I'm in the house. And so my teeth looks nice and strong. I hardly even uses a mouth wash and my breath still smells good. It wasn't like that when I started because I couldn't brush it well then. But for now, I'm able to brush it as I want.
I'm 42 years old. I got mine two weeks ago. It's not painful whatsoever. It hurts when I accidentally hit one of my front teeth with the spoon. As long as you don't bite anything with your front rows you will be fine. Anyone who wants to get braces but is afraid of the pain, just don't worry, go and get them.
@@Flora34iu they don’t hurt at all so that’s good. I’m the first 4 days it was really hard to eat but now my teeth are not sensitive anymore and I can eat semi-normally (with a bite block thing). My teeth haven’t moved at all which is weird. I’m pretty sure it will start when they tighten it in a few weeks. Idk
@@DizzyMapping that's amazing, if you can eat ,that's a good sign. Don't worry they will move, you'll see the difference the next days, take pictures so you can better see the difference.i'm really happy with my smile after 9 months 😁.you won't regret putting braces on, and you will be happy with the result.
I just put on my braces two days ago but I dun feel any painful except my lips. My lips are not used to with braces so it got swollen. Salt water helps me alot. If I bear with these moments, I will hv a beautiful smile after 1&half years💜
I'm suffering a lot. I had to undergo 3 extractions and also a surgical removal of a retained, infected root hiding inside the gums after getting my braces on.
I feel your pain as someone who has a lower left canine that's impacted, but still asymptomatic (which means there's no pain). I honestly hope this is the only one they remove.
having braces has to be the best thing i ever did..best gift to self...the pain and all is worth it..its been 4months..these videos are really helpful..thank you so much for these 2 tips....cheers to 2 years....20months to go🤣🤣🤣
noticed some ppl updating on their braces journey so imma update too lmao, got my braces today sooo- see yall in 2-3 years while i follow this tutorial ig 🤧‼️
For someone who had braces and is now getting them again. I would recommend on your first day to even first week to eat soup but avoid it being hot. It can really burn esspecliy when you mouth is already hurting. Trying eating not hard foods, go for more soft foods or easy to eat foods like mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, yogurt, Jell-O, soup. Don't worry you'll be able to eat ribs, and chicken wings and burgers. But if you're gonna eat bone in you'll have boneless wings or no bone in ribs. Hope you're braces go well! (Also another tip is that if you feel you're teeth are yellow, get ARM & HAMMER Toothpaste whitening. It makes your teeth about 2 shades white and it helped with mine, so it'll probably help with yours to. It may just take a while for it to finally see progess.
Got my braces on yesterday at the ripe age of 20. Wish I got em on earlier, but in my country braces are expensive af. Everything hurts so much oh my god. I've had mashed potatoes 4 times in the last 24 hours because that's the only thing I can eat right now. Thank you for your video, it was super helpful.
Beautifully explained! I have all these things,I actually have a pouch to keep my braces kit😁 I had to search about everything particularly,in this video, everything is summed up!👌
I've had swollen gums for a while and my dentist prescribed me with a toothpaste called "Colgate Duraphat 5000" I've used it for about 2 days now and I've noticed my gums slowly receding! I really recommend visiting your local dentist and ask them for a prescription
I just hot braces today, and there's like lots of food stuck in it. And i just brushed it and it still feels that there's still some leftover stuckn it. And when i chew it gets stuck too,. Do i swallow or chew
I got my braces today. The first 30 minutes I was like, this is alright! Idk why my orthodontist was being so dramatic. 30 Minutes later It hit me Hard I’m dying
This video was very helpful, because I literally zoned out when my dentist was telling me. I do remember what she told me about brushing my teeth though, but it's very different from what's on this video. And now I'm very confused.
had my upper teeth braces on, last month. and already showing good result. my upper teeth aligned the way I wanted. but my orthodontist said they are not yet fully aligned... so gotta wait for another few months. and then she will trim the teeth so that it will look super straight... had my lower teeth braces on, yesterday. hell! hahaha. cant chew even just a loaf of bread. eating porridge all meals. #self-ligatingBraces
I got my braces today! I’m 14 yrs old, I’m going to have braces for 12-18 months. Mine started to hurt roughly 3 hours after I got them done. I tried to eat a sandwich for my first meal, don’t make the same mistake I did! Eat soft foods like grits, porridge, apple sauce, jello, ice cream, smoothies, bananas etc. Good luck! 😬
Had my top brace put on yesterday. The pain started to kick in after 5-6 hours but bearable. The next day it only hurt when I eat, the pain and discomfort is soooooo unbearable every bite. Fingers crossed this will improve over the next week
bro i just brushed my teeth with braces for the first time....I could barely get the brush in my mouth and it looked like i brushed for 30 seconds rather than the full 2 minutes (like i actually did)
How is everyone feeling pain the next day or after a few hours? I felt pain the second I got the power chain. It's excruciating pain! I had to take pain killers. It hurts less on day 2.i don't know, my orthodontist is really fat and puts a lot of pressure on my teeth maybe that's why it hurts so much when she touches my teeth.
@@malihaasad6835 idk,i recent got power chains and they don't hurt at all,even when i would have my wires tightened it would hurt a lil for just a few hours.
Monday, October 24th 2022: I just got my braces on today. Doctor said I'll need them for 1 year - 1 and a half years. The pain started a few hours after getting them on. I have no trouble eating it is just hard to chew and food gets stuck in my braces. I am 13 as of August this year, and hope to get my braces off before 15. Def hope before 16. See u when they're off!
I got mine yesterday, I've only got the top row because they're gonna do some other stuff that I forgot about lol so far, not much pain, it does kind of hurt towards the front, so I've been eating food at the back of my mouth, if it does eventually start hurting even more then I'll probably have to take some pain relievers
Just got my braces yesterday Nov 5, 2022. Had a lot of pain 2-3 hrs after the procedure but took a painkiller and it went away and it's morning now and it still doesn't hurt. Ik it won't stay like this but I am hoping against hope that it does :) Will keep updating
@@poorna2605 well orthodontic brush does make brushing easier (which is already gonna be difficult because of the braces) so I did buy a new brush for that because it helps keep the food from collecting around the brackets
@@child_of_lilith thank you so much for replying! :) My braces have became yellow and I am trying a lot to clean patiently but nothing changes! Give me any advice pls :(
@@poorna2605 a lil yellowing (especially the bands) is very normal especially with indian diets nd it's an unfortunate effect of braces so there is nothing much u can do abt it sorry :( (unless you wanna change your entire diet so that it has less tumeric but it's very difficult to do that)
@@child_of_lilith yeah! But I tried to maintain my diet and followed my brushing routine after eating anything (that contain turmeric) and now braces have became normal! Thanks for your reply 😊🙏
Jason Xiong if you get Damon braces which is what I have and got today you will have no tooth extractions and they also do clear brackets if you don’t want people to see them, the person in this video has the Damon so he wouldn’t have any teeth taken out. Look into it it’s really good
I badly needed this kind of video an year ago when I got my braces on.due to rubbing dat ting on my cheeks my cheek actually got cut several times and a part of it actually got cut and it was soooooo painful 😭
I got my upper braces some days ago, it is very painful to chew indeed but it is easy to stick to bland meals and it won't be a problem besides that I could say i had almost no pain, i will update when i get my bottom braces in a couple of weeks, I hope it won't be too painful.
@@ultra8422 Hello! I forgot this comment! With my bottom braces I had a lot of pain which makes sense because my bottom teeth were very crooked, it also lasted about 2 days, after that I had no pain, even now I have no pain, it wasn't a terrible experience. It gets better
@@vio3366 Ah I see and since your comment was posted a year ago do you still have them on or is it off? Because I'm having experience with braces now lol
actually it's been 6 days when I got my braces on in my upper teeth plus I got one extracted then 3 days after in my lower teeth. maybe bcs I take pain killer for the one extracted??? but it's been 6 days?????
I’m 35 years old, got my braces yesterday….. let’s just say I now feel like I have no clue what I’m doing when brushing my teeth now. Flossing is literally rocket science now😅 Find myself spending about 20-30 minutes brushing and cleaning and flossing
Im a month late but just wanted to say good luck! I'm young and I got my braces 3 days ago, they really hurt the first and second day but third day I'm feeling better! I'm so grateful my parents paid for them so I can have a star smile :) getting them off in 1 1/2 years, starting the countdown lol P.S orthopicks really help with flossing! I also suggest a waterpik
I got braces today and it feels like World War III in my mouth. 😢
Edit: y'all I got my braces off two weeks ago and the results are AMAZING!! It might hurt when you first get them and everytime they're readjusted, but just remember: it'll all be worth it in the end! Good luck to everyone on their braces journey! :)

I got my braces today and for those who are getting them soon, It doesn't "really" hurt much, altho it is a bit uncomfortable but I got used to it in an hour or 2. I also want to wish you guys the best and good luck, don't forget to brush or even just flush after you eat.
Its my first day so it really didn't hurt much but after reading lots of comments I'm afraid its gonna hurt a lot the day after ;-;
I just got my braces today whenever I bite down/ put my teeth together there’s this one wire poking my back tooth is that normal?
@@nationalmemes5862 from what i know yes but tell your orthodontist when you go in, but for now id use wax. i’m not an orthodontist tho so i might be wrong
@@nationalmemes5862 also do you mean your cheek or your tooth because i thought you meant cheek
@@eunice8426 my tooth
I should have known that once I got braces, I technically have to wear retainers for the rest of my life else it will be misaligned again :(( My second dentist said this, my first dentist did not say a thing. My second dentist also said that due to the constant adjustments, the gums are now softer so the teeth are easier to fall off.
Anyways, what's done is done. It's painful only in the first few months. You all have to pay more attention to keeping your teeth clean by flossing daily (this takes time but you'll get used to it), brushing twice a day 30-1 hr after a meal, mouthwash, less consumption of sugar and anything acidic. Still working on some of the things here but it's more costly if we don't take care of our teeth as early as possible :)
Thank you for the advice! I wish you the best! And I hope your teeth don't fall out. :)
I've been feeling so weak cause all I've been eating is a smoothie once a day and water
best diet ever is getting braces tbh
Sameeeee
aw next time eat mash potatoes or soup, and a smoothie in the morning or when you get hungry
I eat everything with my braces
@@Nousseiba-c8v i feel you HAHA
I have my dental kit for about 2 or 3 months and i haven't used anyting in it as my dentist never told me how to use these things. Thanks for explaining the use of each.
BTW flossing is not really easy.I tried it after watching this video.
No it’s not. It’s so difficult smh
I literally eat all the foods they listed lmao
Tsaurai I eat over lol. I don’t eat hard candys that’s all
Samee.
Same😂 I’m savage like that butttttt my brackets just popped up from biting a sucker
Same
I'm sad that I'm not gonna be able to eat on the bone wings or ribs anynore.
I got my braces on yesterday.. and at first i was like oh it doesnt hurt at all.. and then after a few hours.. i feel like all of my teeth are falling off cause of the pain 😭 Thanks for the brushing instructions!
Really?? I got my braces today and I'm wondering why it isnt paining at all. Really scared of the moment when it will start paining.
Facts I just got mine on yesterday. Although the pain isn’t as bad as I thought it was but some my teeth feel as tho they could be loose (cause of the pain.) even tho they are all permanent. I can’t imagine how my teeth are gon feel when new wires or when it is tightened will feel like .
@@Tia_____ nah it isn’t excruciating pain (actually depends if you have a low pain tolerance.) but it just feels like bruised teeth. But the inside cheeks and the lips can get caught onto some the wire which actually does hurt cause can cause sores but that’s what handy dandy Wax is for. I’m still very new to this tho cause I got mine yesterday 😭 but first pain day for me ain’t as bad as I thought it would be.
bruh, I just got my braces today and I'm scared to brush my teeth. I feel like the brackets will come off lmAO HAHSHSJNDXKSKKSS

Sits here at 4 years

I got my braces 3 months ago and I already went for my first adjustment and orthodontist told me my brushing was terrible . I was gutted .
i brush my teeth enough to me and the day I went to my appointment last time, I brushed 3 times cause they kept telling me it was time and kept saying not yet but then when I got there my dentist said why I haven’t brushed my teeth good . the shet i felt 😭
Ya they say we are not brushing properly
I've been to those tightening sessions at least 5 times now and for most of them I got told off for not brushing well. I had an appointment today but I went to get my teeth cleaned at my local dentist before hand so this time I wasn't feeling gutted.
glad to know I'm not the only one who hear this on appointments. I thought it's just me that's why I m here
Lmaooooo i have my appointment next week now I'm sacred!! I gotta be careful LOL
I really wanna take it off I’m tired of it 😭
Did you take it off yet? 😭
{Momo } no
Gharamchii samee🤷🏻♀️
@@GharamM what about now? 😂
PUNISHERS YT same nothing change but now it has been 4 months without Orthodontic tightening I just forgot the pain 😭😭
got my braces today, and have seen people saying it would hurt the next day and im on my way to bed now. hope it doest hurt that much
Got my braces day before yesterday! See you after a year
wow this is so helpful,, getting braces soon hope it won't make me sore much, I need it to straighten my teeth..
I got my braces on today, i had two of my upper teeth extracted and it hurts so bad😒
Update: two of my lower teeth also got extracted and stitched. This thing hurts more than the first extraction.
*beauty is pain
I got my braces yesterday...i got 4 extractions then spacers then tongue crib nd finally braces but can't eat anything nd can't brush i am so worried ...how are your teeth now
@@ahlam4398 it's been almost 4 months and my teeth has really improved that my orthodontist is surprise. I eat anything I want too. It's really comfortable now and doesn't even hurt when I go for tightening.
@@ahlam4398 your teeth will be very sensitive the first month or sometimes more. I at a point regretted starting the process but trust me, I dont anymore.
@@ellenwhyte10 thankyou your reply makes me feel confident nd better...some people say that after removing braces the teeth look yellow even after brushing them daily
@@ahlam4398 I think it all depends on how you treat it. Personally, I brush it after every meal if only I'm in the house. And so my teeth looks nice and strong. I hardly even uses a mouth wash and my breath still smells good. It wasn't like that when I started because I couldn't brush it well then. But for now, I'm able to brush it as I want.
I'm 42 years old. I got mine two weeks ago. It's not painful whatsoever. It hurts when I accidentally hit one of my front teeth with the spoon. As long as you don't bite anything with your front rows you will be fine. Anyone who wants to get braces but is afraid of the pain, just don't worry, go and get them.
Anyone else who got his braces today? ... After 2 years i'll have the smile i've always dreamed of.
@Manraj Brar you won't regret it 😍
Just got mine on, doesn’t hurt yet
@@DizzyMapping how are you feeling now? After one week
@@Flora34iu they don’t hurt at all so that’s good. I’m the first 4 days it was really hard to eat but now my teeth are not sensitive anymore and I can eat semi-normally (with a bite block thing). My teeth haven’t moved at all which is weird. I’m pretty sure it will start when they tighten it in a few weeks. Idk
@@DizzyMapping that's amazing, if you can eat ,that's a good sign. Don't worry they will move, you'll see the difference the next days, take pictures so you can better see the difference.i'm really happy with my smile after 9 months 😁.you won't regret putting braces on, and you will be happy with the result.
Got braces today!! Updating in 2 years and a half :)
Lucky u. I got mine a few days ago too and I have to wear them for 3 yrs
here so i can get notified 2 years and a half from now!

Yes I feel lots of PAIN

I just got my braces today! These comments makes this place so wholesome

They couldn’t give him some chapstick?
SpellboundTonight, my orthodontist gave me chapstick lol
Galaxy_Kitty Cat my lips are always dry after opening my mouth so long at the dentist haha
Dzaki same he always asks me to open my mouth wider
Wait a minute? Orthodontists are supposed to give you chapstick? Mines certainly doesn't.
@@lovelydolltime8006 Well mine has a container of chapsticks so idk
Thank you so much for all of these amazing and helpful tips you shared fishbein Orthodontics😊
I just put on my braces two days ago but I dun feel any painful except my lips. My lips are not used to with braces so it got swollen. Salt water helps me alot. If I bear with these moments, I will hv a beautiful smile after 1&half years💜
I'm suffering a lot.
I had to undergo 3 extractions and also a surgical removal of a retained, infected root hiding inside the gums after getting my braces on.
I feel your pain as someone who has a lower left canine that's impacted, but still asymptomatic (which means there's no pain). I honestly hope this is the only one they remove.
Feel like it’s gonna happen to me. And if I break a bracket I need to pay $600. I hate my life
having braces has to be the best thing i ever did..best gift to self...the pain and all is worth it..its been 4months..these videos are really helpful..thank you so much for these 2 tips....cheers to 2 years....20months to go🤣🤣🤣
Hii! How are you doing now! Braces coming off any time soon?😅
I like the way you write ,i felt good that i can also do it ✨
noticed some ppl updating on their braces journey so imma update too lmao, got my braces today sooo- see yall in 2-3 years while i follow this tutorial ig 🤧‼️
I got mine yesterday night and OHMYGOD the pain sure does start the next day 🖾🖾
Who else is getting their braces soon and is having a braces video marathon right now 😂🙋🏽♀️
meeeeeee…. we are planning on getting me consultation and i’m just over trying to learn everything i can :]
Am getting my braces soon and i want to know if they inject you first before they put it
Me getting it tmrw.. And little scared.. Does it hurt more.. Please help me😩
I'm on the marathon *_after_* getting them because I honestly forgot what my orthodontist told me ☠️
For someone who had braces and is now getting them again. I would recommend on your first day to even first week to eat soup but avoid it being hot. It can really burn esspecliy when you mouth is already hurting. Trying eating not hard foods, go for more soft foods or easy to eat foods like mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, yogurt, Jell-O, soup. Don't worry you'll be able to eat ribs, and chicken wings and burgers. But if you're gonna eat bone in you'll have boneless wings or no bone in ribs. Hope you're braces go well! (Also another tip is that if you feel you're teeth are yellow, get ARM & HAMMER Toothpaste whitening. It makes your teeth about 2 shades white and it helped with mine, so it'll probably help with yours to. It may just take a while for it to finally see progess.
Im shaking while watching this...yall don't know how painful it gets
Timothy John K it’s only the first 2 weeks then it’s all good 😂
I JUST GOT MINE TODAY YALL ARE SCARING ME
Especially if you get a power chain. That's the absolute worst for 2 days.
Yeah I dp
@@lovelydolltime8006 what's a power chain?
I have an appointment tomorrow pray for me that I get braces without having to get any teeth extracted..please much appreciated 🙏🏾
My braces hurt so much I can’t brush them properly (got them yesterday)
Omg same
Annie LeBlanc got mine today (ceramic clear) and feel ok as ortho only put in top arch. I’m more worried about keeping them clean than the pain tbh 😬
Sorry
Use an electric toothbrush
its been 1year since you have your braces right? Does it hurt now or how does it feel?
Got my braces on yesterday at the ripe age of 20. Wish I got em on earlier, but in my country braces are expensive af. Everything hurts so much oh my god. I've had mashed potatoes 4 times in the last 24 hours because that's the only thing I can eat right now. Thank you for your video, it was super helpful.
I am 15 and I got my braces
I just got mine at nineteen. It's late but it's better than never
4:45 so just dont eat
Mood 😂
I eat everything I did before I got my braces on. I didn't break a bracket from this either.
Lovely Doll Time same here... I just got them last month and I eat everything I used to eat 😂😂😂

I’m so used to eating wax cuz I forget to take them off

Wtf???
got my braces today, this is incredibly helpful video! thank you
Beautifully explained! I have all these things,I actually have a pouch to keep my braces kit😁 I had to search about everything particularly,in this video, everything is summed up!👌
I've had swollen gums for a while and my dentist prescribed me with a toothpaste called "Colgate Duraphat 5000" I've used it for about 2 days now and I've noticed my gums slowly receding! I really recommend visiting your local dentist and ask them for a prescription
Hello, this is my first day having braces 😍 and this video helped me a lot 😍 thank you.
You know, I just got my braces on yesterday, and I already know that I’m gonna order the biggest amount of popcorn the day I get them off.
Just got mine today they hurt fr thought y'all were lying😭
same girl I got mine today
I just hot braces today, and there's like lots of food stuck in it. And i just brushed it and it still feels that there's still some leftover stuckn it. And when i chew it gets stuck too,. Do i swallow or chew
Obligatory "just got my braces today" comment
Doesn't hurt, but it does feel like a piece of food *permanently* stuck to my teeth
omg thank you so much I was really panicking because I wasn't told about all this. liver saver honestly 😅
I got my braces today. The first 30 minutes I was like, this is alright! Idk why my orthodontist was being so dramatic.
30 Minutes later
It hit me
Hard
I’m dying
Its been 7 hours since i got mine but still no pain but iam nervous and wondering when's the pain gonna kick in
@@dandelion7525 for me, it's been like 17 hours since I got mine, not too much pain (yet) but I'm also worried
This video was very helpful, because I literally zoned out when my dentist was telling me. I do remember what she told me about brushing my teeth though, but it's very different from what's on this video. And now I'm very confused.
I just got my braces today and this video is so helpful!
Anyone who got braces yesterday?
Well yk the pain😭!love you take care
had my upper teeth braces on, last month. and already showing good result. my upper teeth aligned the way I wanted. but my orthodontist said they are not yet fully aligned... so gotta wait for another few months. and then she will trim the teeth so that it will look super straight... had my lower teeth braces on, yesterday. hell! hahaha. cant chew even just a loaf of bread. eating porridge all meals. #self-ligatingBraces
I got my braces today! I’m 14 yrs old, I’m going to have braces for 12-18 months. Mine started to hurt roughly 3 hours after I got them done. I tried to eat a sandwich for my first meal, don’t make the same mistake I did! Eat soft foods like grits, porridge, apple sauce, jello, ice cream, smoothies, bananas etc. Good luck! 😬
I got mine 2 days ago and it really hurts.I didn't eat anything , I just drank water and a smoothie. At least I can brush them even if it hurts.
I am 15 and I got my braces
i just got my braces today and this helped me understand what i need to do
I just got mine on an hour ago, Hell is probably about to break loose
Got braces earlier today and I can't tell if food is stuck between my teeth or it's just the braces
Me too lol
Had my top brace put on yesterday. The pain started to kick in after 5-6 hours but bearable. The next day it only hurt when I eat, the pain and discomfort is soooooo unbearable every bite. Fingers crossed this will improve over the next week
bro i just brushed my teeth with braces for the first time....I could barely get the brush in my mouth and it looked like i brushed for 30 seconds rather than the full 2 minutes (like i actually did)
Lmao I totally feel you
I got my braces a few hours back and so far so good, no pain lets see tomorrow 😬
was there pain??
@@musicxo5256 hey sorry just saw your reply, yes the first was week was painful (couldnt eat,teeth felt loose) but after that it's all good.
How is everyone feeling pain the next day or after a few hours? I felt pain the second I got the power chain. It's excruciating pain! I had to take pain killers. It hurts less on day 2.i don't know, my orthodontist is really fat and puts a lot of pressure on my teeth maybe that's why it hurts so much when she touches my teeth.
@@malihaasad6835 idk,i recent got power chains and they don't hurt at all,even when i would have my wires tightened it would hurt a lil for just a few hours.
Monday, October 24th 2022:
I just got my braces on today. Doctor said I'll need them for 1 year - 1 and a half years. The pain started a few hours after getting them on. I have no trouble eating it is just hard to chew and food gets stuck in my braces.
I am 13 as of August this year, and hope to get my braces off before 15. Def hope before 16.
See u when they're off!
I got mine yesterday, I've only got the top row because they're gonna do some other stuff that I forgot about lol
so far, not much pain, it does kind of hurt towards the front, so I've been eating food at the back of my mouth, if it does eventually start hurting even more then I'll probably have to take some pain relievers
I got my braces today… and obviously you have to clean them after every meal but how do I do that when I’m at school?
Omg fr
@@NobodyWantsYourPity welcome to o eternal teeth cleaning
I’m getting mine soon very soon dose it hurt ?
it might hurt when you get it but i got my braces today and when they put on the wire it does kinda hurt
If it does start to hurt dont worry the pain goes away in about a week
Just got my braces yesterday Nov 5, 2022. Had a lot of pain 2-3 hrs after the procedure but took a painkiller and it went away and it's morning now and it still doesn't hurt. Ik it won't stay like this but I am hoping against hope that it does :)

Hey, do I need to buy New BRUSH for brushing my teeth during teeth braces treatment????
(btw I also got my braces on the same day 😊)
@@poorna2605 well orthodontic brush does make brushing easier (which is already gonna be difficult because of the braces) so I did buy a new brush for that because it helps keep the food from collecting around the brackets

@@poorna2605 a lil yellowing (especially the bands) is very normal especially with indian diets nd it's an unfortunate effect of braces so there is nothing much u can do abt it sorry :( (unless you wanna change your entire diet so that it has less tumeric but it's very difficult to do that)
@@child_of_lilith yeah! But I tried to maintain my diet and followed my brushing routine after eating anything (that contain turmeric) and now braces have became normal!
Thanks for your reply 😊🙏
I want braces but my only concern is the tooth extractions. I have a fear of needles :c That's why my mom is looking for an orthodontic that uses gas
Jason Xiong if you get Damon braces which is what I have and got today you will have no tooth extractions and they also do clear brackets if you don’t want people to see them, the person in this video has the Damon so he wouldn’t have any teeth taken out. Look into it it’s really good
Jason Xiong The tooth extractions don't hurt much tbh
Shiny Timbit I’m getting extractions and I’m using gas just ask your orthodontist
Your Mum it doesn't hurt I promise even if you have gas I had to have for teeth pulled same day and didn't hurt until 3hrs later
I’m afraid of needles to and yesterday they put 9 needles in my gums to num them

So how did it go?
@@ultra8422 Hello! I forgot this comment! With my bottom braces I had a lot of pain which makes sense because my bottom teeth were very crooked, it also lasted about 2 days, after that I had no pain, even now I have no pain, it wasn't a terrible experience. It gets better
