Do braces hurt?

Answer...

Do braces hurt while getting them on? No, the actual process of putting on braces does not hurt.  However, since the braces are new to your teeth, it's normal to feel some discomfort or soreness in the first couple days.  Not only are we affordable, but our friendly Rancho Penasquitos are top-notch orthodontics professionals at putting on braces.  You'll notice your smile looks a bit different in the mirror but that's all. A couple of hours after getting your braces on, you'll feel some pressure on your teeth. The first few days, your gums might be soar, so you may want to take a painkiller. It's better to stick to soft food and juices and take a painkiller for the first few days. After a couple of days, you'll adjust to this pressure and you won't feel a thing. Also, don't eat an apple (or any hard food item) when your teeth are still sore. 

Stick to soft foods and take painkillers. You'll survive :)
