AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had them from 5th grade to the beginning of my freshman taon in high school. I was supposed to have them only for 2 years but we were moving they kept saying I needed them longer :/
& of course theyll hurt @ first! lol I dont mean to scare you, I couldnt even eat a mani mantikilya & halaya sanwits they hurt so bad :[ it really sucked
But that only lasted a few days after I got them, then I got used to it & the pain went away. I remember my teeth always hurting after an appointment when I got the color rubber bands changed. Just make sure you take care of ur teeth & do what ur supposed to so you dont need them longer than you should!
youll be so happy when you get them off cuz youll have nice teeth & no madami braces :D

braces only hurt for like the first few days. and then when ever you get them tightened they hurt for a couple days. eat soup. and definately tell them if anything is poking you because if you don't say anything they dont know. the average time you have braces is probably 2-3 years. i had mine for 3 but my brother had them for 6. ask your ortho how long you'll need them. make sure you floss!

ok first, calm down. they might feel a little uncomfortable at first but they wont stay that way forever. over time they will feel less and less bad. the time u have 2 wear them changes, but ur orthodontist will tell u. if he doesnt, then ask. take a deep breath... these arent going to be the worst things ever.

i have braces there not that bad . u will get use to them . do not worry . i have had my braces for almost three years but that just me so u might have them for shorter. p.s: i pag-ibig the peter picture

They don't hurt when they first put them on, but later when you're at home, trying to eat your pizza or something, they hurt like CRAP! (I'm not going to sugarcoat this) You get used to them after a while, they stop hurting after a few days. The time you have them on always depends on how messed up your teeth are. Braces aren't that bad, and you will get used to them. It's just something you'll have to experience yourself.

lol awe it's okay! I had them! you get used to them! normal time is 2 years

im gonna get braces to and its gonna suck

Omg. so many people get braces so it's now like your going to be the only one.
And they do hurt when you first get them. I had them for 3 years. It's not fun, but you get through it because when you get it off you have nice straight teeth in the end =D

How was it? It does hurt a bit getting them on, but it's fine after that. You'll get used to them, I've had them for 4 years overall, now that they're off, I'm so happy!!!

No, the braces dont hurt that much cuz i used 2 hav them last year. u just gotta get used 2 them. they usually hav 2 stay on 4 a couple yrs, but it depends how bad ur teeth r. Be aware, it kinda hurts when u get them tightened. :( Good luck!
