advice
Im afraid of getting braces cause my friend got them and they hurt for 3 days (I get really scared pretty easily). Im gettin them soon. Do they hurt wen u get them on? What happens if you lose a tooth while they're in? What happens if a tooth growns in while you hav them in? Please help......im scared.
Well for everyone it is different, but yes your braces are going to hurt for a couple of days. Just take some medicine so that it numbs your mouth a little for the next few days, and eat soft food such as ice cream, soup, and milkshakes. If a tooth grows in while you have your braces on, the ortho will wait until the tooth has grown in sufficiently for a bracket to fit on it.
Good luck with getting your braces. Even though it might not seem worth it the trouble & pain right now, in 2 years time you will have a beautiful smile!
