Rebecca A	Child, may God be with you. I have braces , everyone does nowadays but HEADGEAR???? Ok it hurts afterwards. It's annoying when they put your braces on because you can swallow, or they suck up ur salvia and your throat is dry. You feel the pain AFTERWARDS. First 4-7 days it hurts to chew. First 10-18 days your braces prod your cheeks and aggravate your cheeks until they grow stronger. PS- When having braces, you salviate more because your mouth knows something's in ur mouth, and your mouth thinks it is food. So you salviate more to help you digest the food (your mouth thinks) but is actually braces. Remember ( I had to learn this the hard way)say it , don;t spray it./ Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kira Kira	it was really painful and u cant eat for a while and when u first get it, u keep on biting the inside of your cheek. plus when u finally get them off your breath really stinks. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Black Charm	Well when my friend got braces she said that there was not really any pain. I think you have to eat soft food for a while. And a few days after getting braces then your mouth gets sore and you start to feel pain. Also when you get your braces tightened that is supposed to be really painful. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jasministic	Well i dont know what the headgear entails but... they clean each tooth glue the bracket to your teeth hold a blue light to your mouth to dry it and after they do that for every tooth, they put on the wire....done. nothing hurts until like an hour later when all you want is a nice cold milkshake. =] Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sliteofhand	Braces don't hurt. it is just a long installation period getting everything glued into place. Drilling with no anesthetic, and using a rope driven drill is what really hurts. That is what i had back when I got braces. Now the drills are air driven, you got novacaine, and nitrous oxide and stereo music just to get your teeth cleaned. We only got that when it was a root canal, and no stereo at all. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Lanah	it doesnt hurt getting them on, but the head gear will kill you for the first week! but the more you wear it, the better it gets, pretty soon you wont even notice. you do need top braces for head gear, and the braces will hurt really bad for the first couple days. i recomend eating a big meal before getting them on, because you wont really eat for the next couple days! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Step 2. a tiny bit of pain, they start putting lil' brackets on each tooth Step 3. some pain, they put the wiring saround ur mouth Step 4. UR DONE but..... it doesn't hurt until the next day! it hurts so bad! u could just like pull ur face off! eat lots of cold things! and u dont need top and bottom braces for headgear, hope this helps!

Love & music [:	Why are all you people always spazzing about getting braces. ugh. >:P I've had them before. geesh its a big deal you'll get used to it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ladybugs380	all i can say is take some pain relief before you go to get them on... and keep it in your system also stack up on som of your fav. soft foods like mashed potatoes, yugort, ice cream.... no noodles or anything like that.. killer to get out and you prolly will be in to much pain to eat it. gl! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Onpage57	Oh braces are nothing first they put this thing in your mouth to open it..make sure you put Chapstick on before hand...it doesn't hurt at all. Then they just put the brackets on which don't hurt and then they put the wire through the brackets. It's a painless procedure. It will be sore after about an hour or half...you may want to take some pain medicine right after you leave the ortho. and keep on taking them every four hours (or as instructed) even if they don't hurt. Good Luck and remember that it doesn't hurt to get them on or off, the only part of braces that hurt is when you get them tightened every month. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

yadah yadah yadah	the chick is lying to u about putting u to sleep. i had baces and its no big deal i dnt quite remember the process but it doesnt hurt really. just make sure they take out both of ur spacers cuz they left one of mine in and it got jammedinto my gums by the braces and my dentist ddnt find it until 2 years after i got them off. also u dont even have to hav braces to get head gear so u can hav just bottom braces and hav head gear. god luck and hav fun w/ ur new look! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jazman	i had braces and the pain really didn't start until the next day after getting them on. ummm, i don't know about the headgear, sorry. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Allisonnx3	theres no pain at all while hes putting them on, just after before you go to bed and for a couple of days. but once you got throught the soreness, you dont even know you have braces. good luck!:] Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

astal	Step 1: The dentist will take moulds of ur teeth . No pain . Step 2: The dentist will clean ur teeth . No pain Step 3: The dentist will glue the brackets onto ur teeth. No pain just that u might taste something disgusting cause they put that liquid onto ur teeth .(proberbly to clean it or something.im not sure about that so i might be wrong) Step 4: After u have the brackets on , the dentist will put the wire into the bracket. No pain but maybe a lil bit uncomfortable. Ok u have your braces done already but the pain will occur about 3-4 hours after u get ur braces. U will feel like all ur teeths are being pressed back. To try and have a feel of the pain, use ur finger and push ur front teeth back. Slowly increase the pressure till u feel pain. Thats the pain u will feel in ur mouth for about 3-4 days but not everyone will last the long or that short. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ello, I'm Marie :]	1. amount of pain - none. just a little sore after. b. why the hell would you need headgear? your bite can't possibly be that bad. 4. if you only need bottom braces, that's all your getting. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Clueless101	I got braces a year ago. I'll be happy to explain the process. Ok, so first they fix you up, sometimes they might give u the "magic nose" which is full of novacane that makes you fall asleep. Then, they take the braket things and glue then onto ur teeth. That doesnt hurt alot. Then, they put the wire in your mouth and adjust it so if fits. This part sort of hurts, but barely, cuz all they are doing is just pressing gently on the brakets to ensure the wire stays in place. Then, they put these littrle rubber bands on each braket thing. Thsi sort of hurts, but not alot. They just stretch the rubber band out and around each braket thing. After that, they use this thing and shine a light on them so they stay in place, this doesnt hurt, just close your eyes, cuz it is a tad bright. After that, you are all done and you go home. When you get home, it isnt going to hurt, but the next morning its going to hurt alot. For me, it hurt for about 2 weeks, and it was painful. What really helped was Motrin and Tylenol and that kind of over the counter medicine. Take it easy and dont chew, cuz that WILL hurt. Hope this helps! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

<3333	ive had braces, and it doesnt hurt when you get them on, it just hurts after a while when you get them on. bc the glued brackets are pulling your teeth straight. okay the put the glue on your teeth stick the "squares" (brackets) on the glue string metal wire through all of them cut off the extra wire put small colored rubber bands over each bracket to hold the metal wire in place then your done!! they usually put the bottom braces first, then the top. as far as the headgear, it depends what needs to be fixed. my upper jaw needed to come foreward, since i had an underbite, so they hooked the headgear to the top brackets with rubber bands. but it all depends what fix YOUR teeth need. dont be scared girl youll be fine!! dont even stress about it =) good luck!

camarkie2000	Well, if you already have spacers, then you've faced one of the most painful parts. Personally, I never liked going to the orthodontist, but it's not really bad. Step 1: Remove Spacers - Not all that painful, actually. They just need to take them out. Step 2: Bond the brackets - This is the least painful part, and the longest. This is mainly what it will be. It's not painful, but the cement that they use to bond the brackets will be really bad tasting, but you'll have to deal with it. Step 3: Inserting the arch wire - This is the most painful part. The arch wire is the wire that goes and connects the brackets together. There will be lots of snipping of it and fitting it, especially if you're a small kid. The worst that will happen is that the wire will poke your gums and it will hurt. Step 4: Putting on the ties - This is usually what give the braces color. You just select the colors you want. It doesn't hurt at all. Also, ask your mother if you can find another way to do the procedure WITHOUT headgear. I never had it, but I heard it's very painful and you can't always get kids to wear it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kit-kat	what they do is they give you laughing gas then put a bad tasting "glue" on your teeth one at a time. they put the brackets on one buy one then let them dry. you get to pick the colors you want on. they don't hurl but it does help to eat soup and other very soft food until their not so sensitive. hope this helps :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

silly sophie	my friends have them and they say it hurts a bit Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Beth	First they make a mold of ur teeth, then they put in o rings or spacers to put space in between teeth, then they will take spacers out, then comes day that they put them on they sand ur teeth, then put glue on th teeth ur getting braces on, then they put the brackets on, then they slip on wires that go around ur molars, than they put your wires across the brackets connecting to the molars, then they willl later give you rubber bands to connevt to the front of the teeth then to the back. They do not hurt AT ALL. It just sucks because you can't always eat the foods you want to. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
