Reply from Vic (Vici), Age 13 - 08/13/04 - IP#: 205.188.116.xxx ya they hurt bad for about a week, and then it goes away, then after every time u go in, if u get them tightned, they might hurt for a day or so...but its worth it!
Reply from Steph, Age 13 - 08/13/04 - IP#: 4.165.3.xxx I have them. They hurt at first pretty bad, but itll go away in a couple of days. Your teeth will be a little sore after every appointment too

Braces don't hurt to be put on, it's a long process of moving your teeth because it took two years to move mine. It's the slow moving that's a bit sore to begin with, but three day after each tighting it's great!!!!!!!!! Don't worry chick, you'll be glad once there on and you'll hardly noticing them. Krystle
Reply from Michele, Age 14 - 08/12/04 - IP#: 24.10.8.xxx hi, i just got my braces off. the ortho doc i had was great and him putting them on didn't much at all. The thing that hurt the worst was getting them tightened every 6 weeks or so. but it wasn't always that bad. it really all depends on your doctor and the nurses. but i am apsolutly possitive that your teeth will come out beautiful!!!!! It's well worth it. good luck. michele
