When braces are tightened does it hurt as much and for as long as when they are first put on?

Yes it does.
Most of the time, getting your braces tightened is painful yes although I don't remember it being quite as painful to get them tightened as it was when I got them put on initially.

You can eat mashed vegetables, yogurt, milkshakes with fruits, pudding, and any other soft food. I have that same question, how long do I eat it for ? Usually if you just got braces they will hurt for a week or two but if you just got them tightened the pain will only last afew days
What should i expect with my new braces How long will they hurt Im only getting them on my 4 front teeth so i don't know if that will affect how much they hurt Please help!!?
Your teeth will hurt every time you get the braces adjusted or tightened at the orthodontist's office, but ask your orthodontist if there are things you can do beforehand (such as taking a mild pain reliever) to alleviate that discomfort. Outside of that, hang in there, and know that the results are worth it.
Can your throat hurt after you first get braces?
It depends on how much work you had done and how long it takes. Your jaws will probably hurt but my dentist said some people don't feel anything. So to answer your question It may or may not hurt after.
How long does it usually take in between the first 3 appointments before you get you braces on?
To be honest, that would be a question that you ask your Orthodontist. Check out this website to find out more about braces: http://www.bracesinfo.com/ And don't worry, I have had braces for 5 years. It doesn't hurt when they are put on OR when taken off. :)

Does getting braces hurt if you have crooked teeth?
You will have to get braces if your teeth are twisted but you don't have to get them until your 20,30 or 40 years old and your teeth can untwist if you lose all your baby teeth I think.
Do braces hurt when first put on?
When you first get braces you will hardly even know there there. The smart thing to do though is to take an Advil after because after hours or maybe a day they will start to get sore. Some people say that they hurt but really your mouth is just sore from the pulling because your mouth is not used to it. I have had my braces for a long time and sometimes i hardly know i even have braces. After a while you will get used to them just like i did! Not when they are being put on but shortly after that you will soon start to feel pain in your gums. Your gums will keep getting worse just keep biting things and eating nice soft foods. You will feel the pain for about a week. Mine only hurt for about 3-4 days but everyone is different!

How long is it after your first visit to the orthodontist do you get your braces?
I went to the orthodontist today. On the first day I went they did molds and x-rays. At the second visit they will tell you what they need to do to your teeth, such as, orthopedic care or getting braces. Then on your third visit they will give you braces, however this is only if you need braces.

Does getting braces hurt for children?
As a former and recent adult brace wearer, I'll answer this question by focusing on the word "hurt." Kids, I believe, are definitely more reactive to physical pain. So, if you are speaking of physical pain, perhaps braces do hurt more on kids. However, children's teeth move more easily too, so maybe they have an edge on adults there. On the other hand, as an adult, I had to go through a lot of emotional hurt with my braces. First of all, the industry is geared for children, and they have not adapted their techniques to adults yet, so I was hurt whenever I was treated like a child. Secondly, it really hurt me as an adult to give up control of my mouth to my orthodontist, not only for the entire time my braces were on, but, I found out later, braces are a lifetime commitment with the retainer and more, so my mouth is going to be controlled for life, I guess, by some sort of brace-related device and/or my orthodontist. Sure did not see that one coming. So, the gist is I guess it depends on what you mean by hurt. Hope that wasn't too long. I do think if you had braces as a kid and know what to expect and get them as an adult, maybe that wouldn't be as bad. But, I never had braces before and had no idea whatsoever of what to expect.
