Does getting spacers/braces hurt?

Spacers, not gonna lie, hurt. Braces hurt for a while too. Good luck :D :D :D

I was in 4th grade when I got mine and I don’t remember any pain, I remember a little bit of discomfort and pulling but that’s it, nothing that hurt me. It will feel tight and abnormal for the first little while but you’ll be okay.

Thank you both for answering this question! Im getting them soon and you know, Im afraid they may hurt. :]

my teeth were really bad before braces, so getting them hurt like crap, and then I was fine. I just hated getting them readjusted. you get used to them, but then it feels SO wierd getting them off :) lol. so, it MAY hurt, but it’ll be fine.

I got braces near the beginning of July. If you take some Advil before you go you’ll be fine. Mine only hurt a little because I didn’t take Advil because I cannot swallow pills. lol. And spacers don’t hurt at all. I even forgot I had them. And when you go to get them tightened it’s really easy. it takes about 7 minutes. So don’t be afraid because it doesn’t hurt and you’ll get used to them easily :) you can ask me anything about braces :]

braces hurt, when you get them for like the first 2 days then not so much until they change the colored rubber bands and tighten the braces then they hurt for about a day, you will get used to it tho

they really dont hurt its more like soreness and sensitivity but if you take some pain medication you should be fine an just eat soft things for a few days but everyone is different and you do get used to it they arent that bad plus they make your teeth pretty and straight :D

spacers hurt more than the braces your mouth is really really sore with spacers and its hard to chew so it soft foods like yogurt or soup. and take like 2 advil before you go get them. good luck:)
