I just got my braces 3 days ago, and my teeth are still pretty sore. I have discovered a perfect way to describe how your teeth feel after the first day. and this is it: It feels like every single one of the teeth that you have braces on is loose, so it hurts really badly to eat anyhting.. so what I'm doing and have been doing since i got them is drinking smoothies and chocolate shakes. It's the only "plus" for the first few days.

Hi! I just got my braces yesterday night, and as the other user has said, it really does hurt! Today it took me about four hours to finish my lunch, and all I ate was soft bread, broccoli and yoghurt. Well, I had a pretzel as well and I admit that was the most painful to chew (obviously!). I am just wearing braces on my top teeth, but my bottom teeth hurt as well! I have this retainer sort of thing to cover them.
I could not believe this morning when I woke up how fast my teeth has recovered. I had this huge gap in my front teeth, yet it is fixed, and it is only the first day! WOW. There was such a fast recovery, but luckily because I was asleep I didn't feel any pain during it. Maybe by the time someone has read this you have already gotten your braces so you know exactly what I mean.
I hope this helped in one way or another!

∙ 15y agoAt first when you get it on, it feels like your teeth are like a rock, and they feel really tight. It hurts a bit when you eat for the first 2 days. After it feels the same as if you don't have braces, but it is like you have clothes on your teeth!

∙ 11y agoIt's ok. Just gotta be careful of what u eat so you don't break or get anything stuck in the wire or the brackets. They give you a whole list of stuff your not suppose to eat but it's ur choice to listen. I dout most people even read it after a while. Until ur teeth get use to them, they may be sore and hurt to eat but they get better. The fun part to me was getting to chose the color of the bands that go on them but thts bout all I liked bout them

∙ 12y agoAt first braces feel quit tight. Your mouth feel really squashed together. After a while, it will soon feel as if they have loosened out. That is after a few weeks though.
Always remember to eat the right food:
1.Soup
2.Yoghurt
3.Fish
There just main ones, but if you find another just go or it.
Good luck,

How does it feel when your getting braces?
If you get spacers, it feels like a really bad headache. Then, the actual braces feel like a half inch metal on your teeth. If you run your tongue over them, you might cut it. When they are tightened, it feels like a really bad headache. When I first got braces, I had to eat a lot of soup, smoothies, and sweet potatoes because it's hard to chew until 2-4 weeks. But, definitely brush your teeth everyday when you get them.

Which are worse spacers aka separators or braces?
braces are way worse! spacers only cause mild pain on the teeth they are touching. braces cause pain on all your teeth; plus, it will take weeks if not months for your gums & cheeks to get used to the braces. with braces, every time you bump your mouth for the first few months- blood & sores! it is very painful!! spacers just feel like a big chunk of dental floss is stuck between your teeth! nothing you can't handle. braces are an entirely different story!
Why is it important to brush your teeth with braces?
the food you eat can get caught in your braces, leaving bacteria that could stain your teeth. then they turn yellow like the sun

Does it hurt while they are putting braces on?
If you have sensitive teeth, you might feel a little bit of pressure, but don't worry. It's not painful. After the next couple of days, your teeth may feel a bit sore. Try to eat soft foods like mashed potatoes, soup, apple sauce, Jell-O, etc. The orthodontist should also give you wax to put on your teeth when they feel sore. It's fine if you swallow the wax. It won't hurt you! Good luck with your braces!
