Before you go into your appointment on getting braces on your teeth you want to make sure that you floss, brush, and rinse your mouth out really well prior to going to the orthodontist. They most likely will have you repeat this process when you get to the office if they feel you have not done a good enough job. After that they will begin by drying your teeth. They will then place some type of etchant which is like glue or cement and is what will hold the brackets to each of your teeth. After they get this put on each tooth they will quickly put brackets on each of your teeth. They will then need to bond the bracket to the etchant, which will form a cement like bond on each of your teeth. This is what will hold the braces on your teeth for the next two years.
After the brackets are sick will then place a wire in between each of the brackets on both the top and bottom sets of teeth and will secure the wire in place with small rubber bands. When I place the rubber bands on you most likely will start to feel some pressure on each of your teeth because it is starting to move your teeth in the proper direction. This is probably the most uncomfortable part of the process but most likely will not be painful while you’re at the orthodontist’s office. You may experience more pain later in the coming days as your teeth get used to the new braces. This should help answer the question of do braces hurt and getting them on.
After getting braces on many people are concerned about what types of foods they can eat and what type of foods they need to avoid. Any type of soft that is easy to chew will be something that will be okay for you to eat. You want to avoid any type of hardware country foods such as nuts. You may only feel comfortable with a liquid diet for the next several days to avoid having to chew it all since your teeth may be feeling some discomfort as the braces start to pull your teeth in line.
