How long does it take to get your braces in and does it hurt(getting them in) ?

  • I am getting my braces in two weeks time and i am really woried!!Can you please tell me all about braces , how long it takes to get them in and if it hurts getting them in. Thank You ...show more

  • Answer:

    it will liturally take 15-30mins to get them put on all they are is a little bracket and they are placed on the teeth using a flowable composite material which is used for white fillings also they use a special bond which is like a glue for dentistry and a bit of etchant which prepares the tooth for the bond etc.. the etchent first and then the bond and then the composite which is set with a light which is called a curing light it is uv blue which sets it in about 40secs which is 4beeps as it beeps after every 10 seconds then the wire is placed through and held in with a band these of which are the colours you choose. dont worrie about it if you get any pain just take pain killers i had fixed braces too when i was about 12 and they didnt hurt and if they did was only for one day and took a pain killer and was ok. if you need any more advice please dont hesitate to get in touch BTW IT DOES NOT HURT GETTING THEM IN

I doesn't take long at all. I was really worried when i had to have them but in but i found that it doesn't hurt at all. You can hardly feel anything. Don't worry about it. There is nothing to worry about!

I got my braces fitted earlier today. It didn't take long to get fitted about half an hour. I doesn't really hurt when they are being fitted, except when they pull and stretch your mouth t put the brace in. After wards it leaves a horrible taste in your mouth and your mouth is really dry. At the moment my mouth is hurting a bit (i got them fitted about 8 hours ago). I was also really worried if they would hurt, I am worried that tomorrow morning when I wake my mouth will really hurt. Don't worry its not that bad, a tip is to while you are getting fitted close your eyes and think of what happened yesterday and run through the day in your mind. After wards you cant have much to eat so have a big breakfast! I know you cant have chewing gum, hard-boiled sweets, chewy meat, really fizzy drinks and crusty baguettes. Hope I helped, Good Luck!!!

well it doesnt take very long...im not sure if it hurts getting them in but you sure are going to feel pain for about a week and make sure to put wax on ....if you dont it will tear up your mouth really bad...and you might want to get some pain realivers...but other than that how ever long you have to keep them on it will be worth those shiny straight teeth..lol :)

It took me about 30 minutes, maybe less. It doesn't hurt, it's just boring! Your teeth might feel a little strange, and will probably ache for a few days until you're used to it, but you'll be fine. And imagine how pretty your teeth will look at the end!

Well my appointment was at 9:00am wedsday morning I was really nerveous.But I don't now why it didn't hurt at all ''to me'' but the whole appointment without stopping including x-rays is about a good 45-50 minutes.

It look them about 45 minutes to put the braces on, and it didn't hurt getting them on or immediately afterward. After about an hour though, my mouth began to get sore and stayed like that for about a week or two, and I couldn't really chew during that time (bring on the milkshakes!). Even after my teeth weren't sore anymore, I couldn't bite into anything (like pizza or a sandwich) for about two months because my front teeth felt too weird. Good news though is that every time you get your braces tightened, it progressively hurts less and for a less amount of time. A little trick for you: take some Motrin or Tylenol (whatever you use for pain) before your appointment, so by the time your mouth starts to hurt, the medicine will kick in.
