I want to straighten my teeth. Are tooth braces painful?

Braces can cause discomfort, especially after adjustments, as the teeth and jaws adapt to the new pressure. However, they should not typically cause significant pain. The light forces applied with braces are designed to gradually move the teeth, and this should not result in a painful response. If someone experiences persistent or severe pain, it's essential to consult with an orthodontist to ensure there are no underlying issues.
Pain is a subjective term and is different from person to person. Usually tooth movement can cause some mild discomfort that most people can tolerate with no major issues.
I’ve never had patients complaining of pain with braces.
Now a days with all dentistry technology braces do not cause pain. Movements of teeth are done gently and gradually for each teeth. You will feel a little sensitive teeth only for a couple of days but then this feeling will go away. I recommend to take ibuprofen if needed for comfort and to alleviate any teeth sensitivity.
Braces can sometimes be uncomfortable but should not be painful

Hi!
Braces depend on the person - they can be uncomfortable at times but not throughout the entire treatment. If braces were very painful no-one would get them.

They can be but always tell the orthodontist about your pain
