Will my elastic bands for braces stop hurting?

When would my braces stop hurting?

  • I got my braces yesterday around 4 and they didn't start hurting until a couple of hours later. Today the pain was so unbearable that I was unable to even eat rice. So, my question is when will my braces stop hurting? Even with some painkillers they don't really stop stop. I can't have hot things or drink out of a straw because I had two teeth removed the day before I got them. Also, my teeth, especially at the very back, have random times where the pain increases, hurting at even the slightest pressure.

  • Answer:

    Usually the pain stops one to two WEEKS after you get your braces on. The thing that sucks is every time you go for a new orthodontist appointment each month, it hurts because they tighten your wire and rubberbands, but that would only hurt for one or two days. Hope I helped, I don't know if you like sushi, but when I got my braces on I was able to eat sushi fine, but other things hurt like hell!

Victoria..I'd ask your mom/dad to immediately call the orthodontist since having that THAT amount of PAIN doesn't "sound" quite right...some discomfort maybe in getting use to them but not the pain you are describing. OK?
