It can hurt if you don't listen to what you are told to do. It hurts a little after you get them and you won't be able to eat anything hard, and for the first couple of days you can only eat mashed potatoes.
Most people will feel better a few days after you put braces on. But when the braces get tightened again, the cycle repeats. Some people said it didn't hurt at all, and some said it hurts a lot. It depends on each individual.
Answer:
It doesn't hurt when they're putting it on. There's a metal plate that they put around your back molar and you may feel a little pressure when they put it on. They braces that they put on you are just glued on. The aftermath did hurt though. After a day I couldn't eat for a few days and I also had trouble speaking certain words like: thank-you or life guard. It takes getting used to. Give it a week and you'll feel normal again. Make sure you take care of your braces. (I didn't once and my wire got stuck in my gum and it's the worst pain ever!) But putting braces on doesn't hurt what so ever!

∙ 8y agoThere is always going to be some amount of discomfort anytime a dental procedure is performed in our mouths. Having a new retainer is going to require a period of adjustment for the patient as well. The pain should be minimal and if it continues beyond the first week, go back to the dentist.
