Hey! I am getting braces soon too! From what I have heard, your teeth will be pretty sore for us to a week after getting them on. Before you go in to get braces, enjoy foods like popcorn..toffee...taffee...all of the stuff that you can't have with braces(or that will cause you trouble, lol). Don't freak out, I have heard the actual putting on of the braces and brackets is painless. All you will feel is a bit of pressure. Your teeth will hurt for, lioke i said, up to a week, give or take- so eat soft foods after getting them on, like macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes.
Braces don't hurt once you get used to them. For the first 3-4 days they'll hurt but you can buy this wax from the dentist to put over the brackets so your gums don't get irritated that much.
Hope this helps!
i've had braces twice. but everyone who gets them is different. some people's hurt really bad at first, but some people hardly notice them. your gums will be a little sore bc you wont be used to the metal rubbing on them, but that all gets better as they toughen up. just use wax. its not as bad as ppl make it out to be
