“Do braces hurt?”

It's all matter of how you deal with the Outlook being worth the effort it takes to gain happy and healthy smile. You'll have this comfort when braces are first separated to put the appliances on and it will generally be the amount of pain aspirin will take care of. Warm salt water rinses being careful not to swallow just spit as often as you feel like you need to. During the course of any mouth pain. After the teeth are separated in your appliances are put on you'll have a little interim pain during the course of the time between treatment appointments usually about 30 days. The pain is most like an ache that can be alleviated by brushing flossing and if you look at the entire 30 day. Between visits as a timeline generally the first week is the worst and then the second week it dissipates fully by at least half the third week is when you get the most movement from the first week who just called the loading week. You can enjoy the last half of the month knowing that your teeth are responding to the load the orthodontist put on your teeth the first week and therefore you'll see minor changes that first month. So for one week's discomfort you get 3 weeks of improvement though you might not see it each month remember the roots are in bone and they move slower than the tops of the teeth or the crowns as they have no resistance. The more you wear your rubber bands if instructed and keep your teeth clean the more efficient and less pain you'll have. Be safe and knowing that in 35 years of treatment I have never known a patient not to appreciate the effort they put toward their result and that includes thousands of patience so you're in a group that is very motivated and listen to their doctor. Above all take care of your appliance. The less breakage you have the faster your teeth will move so follow your food list. Let me know how you're doingif necessary password for Tylenol
