Hey hope this helps.
--Starts off with a few x-rays of the teeth maybe + some pics
--Then they will glue on the pieces of the brace individually
--Threads the wire through the individual pieces
--Then you will have it tightened.
--Your mouth will start to feel slightly "tight" as though your teeth are being pulled back.
--As your teeth are being re arranged and straightened, there is a lot of movement within your teeth, therefore your teeth might feel a bit sore.
--You will find it tricky to eat some of the harder foods for a couple of days, but then after that you should be okay.
--They will see you over a long period of time, at varied occasions to either just tighten the braces or to change the elastics (coloured individual pieces)..
--Becareful with foods like apples, its wise to cut them up even if your used to the braces, as hard foods could damage your braces.
--And hopefully the end result will be lovley straight teeth!

I had train tracks put on and this is what happened.
They clean your teeth, it felt a bit sensitive but only because I have very sensitive teeth and the water was quite cold.
They stick the metal brackets onto your teeth with glue, not painful apart from they stretch your mouth a little bit to reach the back teeth.
They thread a wire through your teeth and tighten it to make sure that it fits your mouth properly, this is the most painful bit but it didn't hurt as much that I cried just quite uncomfortable.
It hurts most once you get home I'd eat soup and yogurt for a few days because it feels like all of your teeth are very wobbly, very sensitive. also get some wax from your orthodontist because your brackets can cut or rub against your lip.
The pain should go down in about 4 days then you will forget that they are there apart from them feeling a bit different in your mouth.Health Question & Answer

Getting braces is not at all painful. Fixation of braces will not take much time and will not be at all painful. They will put braces and fix wire. You will be uncomfortable with braces due to alien thing being in mouth but the real pain starts after 2-3 days when the wire starts putting pressure. This will remain for 4-5 days and can be taken care with pain killer tab. For complete information on braces, you can visit the very informative website link given by me

They may take out some teeth, just to fit the braces,
i currently own braces myself :)
But when they take out the teeth, it doesnt hurt at all.
They'll probably inject you, and you dont even feel it.
The rubber bands make your teeth and cheeks ache a little at first, just because your getting used to them.
Then when the braces are fitted, it may feel a bit odd.
I remember at first, the hook like object that gets placed at the top of your mouth, was irritating, because i could feel it with my tongue haha!
And i could taste metal. :)
But after a few days, they feel much better.
The bottom brace does tend to cut my lip quite a bit, so i might suggest getting some vaseline or something.
You forget they are there, and your more bothered about how good your teeth are going to look afterwards anyway! :)

i have never had them myself as i don't need them... but, apparently some people get a lot of ulcers when they rub on the gum... plus when my cousin had them she has a really thin toothbrush that gets in between the gaps.
a lot of people who have had braces do usually get yellow stained teeth because, they cannot brush them properly (as the braces are covering a lot of the teeth) (sorry to those who have had braces and have not had yellow stained teeth!)
but, you will get used to them i am sure. depends how long you need them on for too but, your teeth will be straight and in place by the end of it; it cannot be that bad :D. XHealth Question & Answer

i got braces. . dey aint as bad as i fort theyd be.
OK they wont hurt wen u get them in but straight after take some paracetamol every 4hours otherwise the next few days are gonna put u in so much pain, you wont be able to eat!! wen u get your braces tightened the teeth become looser so that they can move into place, this means they will be really sensitive.
but they defo worth it because my teeth have dramatically changed in 4 munfs :) theyre so straight :DHealth Question & Answer

Your mouth will be sore for a day or two so have some Advil handy. You will not be able to eat several foods like Popcorn, gum, hard candy, etc. while your braces are on (they make the brackets pop off and some orthodontists will charge for replacing them). The good news is you will have gorgeous teeth when your braces come off and it will have been worth it!Health Question & Answer
i had braces and all i can remember is sometime when i went to sleep i would wake up with really sore teeth. However saying that its not such an awful experience - just think you'll have nice straight teeth before you know it. Good luck!Health Question & Answer
