    Got my braces yesterday, it doesn’t hurt as bad as people told me it would. It just depends on the person’s pain tolerance. The best way I can describe how it feels is that the teeth feel somewhat loose with something tight, (the wire) pulling them together. At most, it just feels uncomfortable… However, chewing is when I feel “pain”. Overall, I’d rate it a 4.5/10 based on pain.

      @@Aiza0493 If you have a high pain tolerance, then honestly there isn’t much for you to be scared of. It doesn’t really hurt, but if it does, you can drink Tylenol or rub orajel on the places where it hurts.

When I was planning for getting braces I was a bit scared I thought it will be hurt even my brother he said it’s so painful but yes it was hurts a lot for the first 3-5 days or so depends on everybody. When you get braces eat soft food such as pasta, mash potato, Mac and cheese, yogurt etc. trust me eat lots of ice cream it helps a lot with pain. Feel free to ask me questions I’m here to answer 😊

    I got braces almost 3 weeks ago. The first day hurt so bad but it was manageable. I felt really weird. But now, i DON'T feel a thing. It all feels normal. So don't feel scared to get braces just because of the pain. Don't compromise your smile. The pain is not that much severe. Also, i have been told to wear braces for 2 years. Most of the people will probably have to wear it for 6 months to a year but it depends on the condition of your teeth. I will have extraction of 4 teeth after some time of having braces.
    Feel free to ask ANY questions. I will respond whenever i can. ❤️

    I got my braces 4 days ago. Surprisingly, I had no pain whatsoever except for when I bite with my front teeth. It really does depend on pain tolerance, and my pain tolerance is pretty high. It does feel like something is pulling your teeth together, and I got bite things put on my teeth since I have a deepbite, so it is a bit harder to chew. But it is different for everyone!

    My orthodontist slapped braces on me, straightened my teeth, but did nothing to address my tongue thrust and poor oral posture. I have suffered my whole life from this. If you are a parent thinking of getting your child (or yourself) braces, make sure you're not ignoring the underlying reasons the teeth are crooked in the first place.

      exactly. People are so focused on the aesthetic aspect that they forget there are other issues and reasons for wearing braces. I've been wearing mine for almost a year now. Lower teeth became straighter but still no change in the upper part. They currently look even worse than before. I got bite blockers on front teeth and elastics on both sides and It's really painful. My teeth couldn't handle the bite blockers on the back lower teeth few months ago,so my biting surface got affected and It broke.I got bad trauma and had to stop wearing both bite blockers and elastics,completelyslowing down the process. Moral of the story....If you feel something is not right or suffer severe pain don't ignore it,get it checked.

Even if they told to eat soft thing i ate hard roti that night, for about a week it was paining dreadfully.From the first tightening I've started to saw changes in my teeth.After 2nd tightening two days later the front raw became aligned.Tightening of the braces were painful for a couple of months afterwards it became normal.Then i got braces on the back row,since i had experience of having braces on front teeth i was well planned this time.First few days it was painful but not that much painful as the days I've got front braces on. It is taking more time than the front row.

    getting them on is just a little weird but not painful! might have a dry mouth as they put air into your mouth when putting the squares on.
    I broke 3 squares in total over the time I had braces and it was okay as the orthodontist put new ones on!
    I ate basically everything tbh and drank fizzy drinks with a straw which I don’t know if that helped but my teeth were perfectly clean and I had zero white spots!

      braces dont hurt as much as their worked up to be, even tho its not possable to exprience zero pain its easy to keep under control. I recomend to take some kind of pain med like ibuprofin before you get them put on. Eat soft foods the first few days and STAY ON TOP OF THE IBUPROFIN!! after the first 3-4 days ( if your teeth hurt i reccomend some numbing gel) you shouldnt feel any more pain and as you get your braces tightend each time it wont hurt as bad. Just rember to follow what your ortho tells you, as for the wire TELL the person who does your braces if the wire is too long. be ready to expect sores in odd parts of your mouth like your upper and lower lip (the in side) and the back parts of your cheeks, if you get one of these sores use dental wax to smooth out your bracket to your gum. Overall its a whole diffrent exprience for everyone im just giving you some things that i learned over the past year of having braces. Good luck i wish you the best!

    Its Day 6 and I dont really feel that much pain (even though I have low pain tolerance) Maybe because only my upper 8 teeth have brackets put on currently. I’m getting the rest in two weeks. My teeth do sore when I accidentally hit them with my cup >< and sometimes when I chew. I was more worried about the extraction process as I’m a bit scared pf blood and also dry socket, ofc. But it went well :D

    Just got mine a few hours ago.
    *Day 1*
    I only got the top row done today, they didn't do the bottom. Maybe future appointment. No noticeable pain just discomfort, it's not enough to be called pain. What's very annoying is the inner lip contact with the braces, it's very uncomfortable. As far as food, I ate Ramen which was good, did not have any problems with that. Also had a little bit of ice cream, that's between me and you. 😉
    *Day 2*
    I did not eat anything all day as I just wasn't hungry, I only ate Cornflakes with milk at 5 PM 😅
    When I woke up, the discomfort I was feeling was a bit less... until I brushed or drink water or any substance enters my mouse, then it reminds me how it feels xD. But it's starting to feel normal as when I'm just doing things, I'm not noticing it touching my inner lips, otherwise I was feeling it yesterday quite a lot and annoying.
    As far as food, I ate Cornflakes, mango slices, cake (waited for it to get soft then chewed it with my back teeth that did not have braces going all the way back.) and that's about it. Nothing crazy about it so far, but then again I only have the top one.
    *Day 3*
    No pain at all, not much discomfort either. While I still can obviously feel the braces, it's not as noticeable doing tasks. The only thing I don't like is when you smile, sometimes your lips can get stuck on the braces xD when you try close them. (Depends on dryness)
    When I wake up, I barely feel the braces until I rinse my mouth, brush or drink anything... or even eat; then it's a bit more noticeable. But goes away after a while I guess due to Saliva.
    Food wise, I started moving up my diet so now I can eat sandwiches pretty easily and no pain or anything at all. Had a milkshake, a sandwich and a soft dish today.
    So far, today was just chill and no problems.
    The one thing I still hate and will forever hate it seems is food getting stuck in between the braces/(on-top or below) brackets. So I rinse my mouth after I eat anything, and if something is still there, I do a quick brush. Otherwise, I brush twice a day because of stuff that may build up around the braces.
    *Day 4*
    Nothing really, food is fine to eat in most cases. No pain, just annoying feeling it still in my mouth haha, but it's still 4 days so it's alright, will likely get use to it in no time. Only thing that will continue to annoy me is food being stuck in your braces, having to rinse deeply and properly to ensure it's gone.
    *Updates:*
    I will not update from now since it's basically the same since.
    Any problems or any important info that happens I will update here though.
    Update: i got my bottom braces and it was a little painful on day 2, once again, to me i wouldnt say pain, more discomfort. While eating, it was a little painful on my teeth itself, felt like it was gonna fall out lol. But right now, been a few weeks, im chilling.
    Top braces has no discomfort anymore, and eating is fine. Bottom braces is still a bit newer, the start was annoying but now im chilling. Its fine 🙂
    All is great so far.

      The orthodontist just told me I can't eat candy or any gummies etc, no hard foods for the first few days/weeks and no cereal that is alone, should be with milk and left to get a little soggier.
      And I did, I ate cereal, sandwiches, rotis, alot of stuff so far. No problems, I just ensure to clean properly after each meal, which is the only annoying aprt besides discomfort.

    Got my braces on 22/3/2022, I can’t chew anything since the orthodontist applies a somewhat hard substance on one of my molar tooth on both sides which was to prevent from the brackets of the upper arch colliding with my lower arch. So I can’t chew any of my food so I will usually eat porridge or if I really want to eat like for example a chicken, I have to cut it in really tiny bits so I can just swallow it. Really can’t wait when I can finally chew again, lol.
