Atlanta For Life	i dont know. But people have told me they hurt maybe the first week you have them. Then after that you get used to them. Someone told me it hurt without them after they got taken off. They said they're mouth was so used to them. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Liarna P	yes they do but only for about 4 days!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

murph99990	when they tighten the rubber bands on your braces and when the braces get taken off. The tightening of the rubber bands is terrible because you may not be able to eat due to the sensitivity of your teeth. It will be all worth it in the end. Good luck Was this answer helpful to you?

JJ	it depends on how out of place your teeth are, and how tight they make you braces. Most of the time just when you get them on, but in extream fixes you could be in a state of where you feel just a little pain, also sometimes there are wires that hang off, so they scratch the inside of your mouth. Don't fear though the dentist will give you wax to put on the sharp ends until he snips them off. Be careful not to break a bracket or wire they are sharp after they come off, and can cut up you mouth pretty bad. After a while you'll get used to them and they won't be so painful.

Ysabella G	BRACES DON'T HURT ONLY FOR A DAY OR TWO AFTER YOU GET THEM ON OR TIGHTED. GOOD LUCK! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

*~beautiful~insanity~*	Everyone told me that they hurt before I got mine on. But honestly it didn't hurt as much. When the dentist first puts it on it doesn't hurt for like 2 hours. Then whenever you touch your teeth, or try to eat something solid it hurts, it feels very tender. This feeling only lasts for about 2-3 days, but on the third day it should start to ease off a bit. When you get them tightend it doesn't hurt me or any of my friends that have braces. I think the thought of having them tightend is very intimadating. But seriously there is nothing to worry about. Good Luck :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Greg S	They hurt at first, but after the first couple of days they get better. when they are tightened, they hurt. after a while, you don't realize they're there. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

treenie	Not to scare you, but ya they do a lot at first. I wasn't able to eat hardly anything for like three days after I got mine. And then when you get them tightened, which can be up to once a month, the pain is renewed! But the good news is, once you get them on, your mouth gets less sensitive to them over time. And having them taken off feels great when they're finally gone!!! Good luck its not so bad!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

claireeeee	ya they will hurt for a while but thats normal. its way better than the alternative though. not only will you have crooked teeth but crooked teeth can lead to other dental problems down the road when ur older. like, really painful toothaches or root canals or whatnot. just suck it up and have a good supply of Advil, jello, and edy's smoothie popsicles: http://www.dreyers.com/brand/fruitbars/flavor.asp?b=136&f=2588 they work wonders on dulling pain Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

physicsfan92	Yeah, the first couple of days are a little painful, but other than that, it only hurts when you get them tightened. For me, it's more painful knowing how weird and awkward I look in them. Good luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Cait	They really only hurt for about three days after you get them on and for about 1 day after they tighten them. They really don't hurt like a cut would hurt, but they are more of a sore feeling. They also may make your teeth feel "soft" when you bite down for the first day. For me the most pain I had after they were put on was the cuts in my mouth and my tounge. To take care of the cuts you can try to put wax on the pointy edges and put oragel or ambosel( I think thats how it's spelled) on the cuts to numb the pain. For the soreness of the teeth, you can take a mild pain-killer like Advil. So on the overall it does not hurt very much. Hope this helped! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

✿Ash✿	Yes. They cut your gums and they make your teeth sore. They sometimes even cut your tongue open and when your teeth start to straighten out it just makes your mouth sore. Every time you have to go get them tightened up they hurt for a few days. Sometimes you cant eat. But its all worth it in the end. You will only have to go through it a little while. You will have your straight teeth the rest of your life. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
