Answers:
Have you had your spacers.? Or are you getting your braces on .?

When getting your braces on, I suggest you take tylenol before going or some advil.

The process of glueing each bracket and such takes about 45 minutes to 2 hours and is PAINLESS. (:

It just feels super weird with having stuff on your teeth, and you might not be comfortable closing your mouth the first few days. (that's how i felt.)

The pain should kick in a few hours later after your braces got put on, or at night.

I'm fourteen & a freshman =) currently having braces for about 3 months now. i just got my rubberbands on now tooo ! bleh, it hurts SO bad. >__<

The colors i've gotten were:

Baby Blue (first time on)
Red (first time tightening)
Dark blue(got them today, second time tightening along with rubberbands!)Health Question & Answer

First, I'd like to start off, I'm 15 and in 10th grade too! Okay, the whole "procedure" takes about an hour, give or take a few minutes. They will start off by putting lip stretchers on, so wear chap stick!!! After this they clean off your teeth, then they will put the metal bands on the molars in the back; they might try different sizes to see which ones fit best! Then the glue will be put on, then the brackets. Throughout this process, you should try to breathe out of your nose. Oh, and take some tylenol or advil before you go, because there could be some discomfort. I got my braces 2 months ago, and so far so good! Oh, and If you want pink&black, I would get every other tooth pink, the others black, etc! Hope I helped!!!Health Question & Answer

The actual procedure of getting them on isn't that bad. I just remember having the awful cement taste in my mouth but its not bad. The first and second days aren't fun. Your teeth will be very sore and you can't eat anything except ice cream and yogurt and stuff like that. But hey thats the bright side of it lol. After several days you will hardly feel them. Going back to get them tightened regularly kind of sucks too but no where near as bad as getting them on. Don't worry about it though.Health Question & Answer

It's not that bad. It doesn't hurt. There is only a little pressure here and there.
I had my molding done on the day that I got braces. And after that, they began to put the braces on. There is nothing to worry about.
However, after a few hours, your teeth will become sore. Make sure you have advil or something to ease the pain. And food like soup and ice cream will be good to have. It will be painful to eat any kind of hard food.

also, each time you go to the orthodontist, you are allowed to get the colors changed. That's in case if you didn't know already.Health Question & Answer

i have to add in there that they will chew the inside of your mouth up for the first week or so..it will look like raw hamburg. gets lots of wax and plan on eating lots of soup and jello for the first few days.
when i got mine on i could barley open my mouth to say anything let alone eat anything.

good luck!!!! Health Question & Answer
