Dose it hurt when a 10 year old gets braces?

Answer 1

Well, I was 12 when I got braces. It didn't hurt for me. all they do is use a device that keeps your mouth open during the process. Then, they dry out your mouth so the glue will stick. Then they add glue onto your teeth and apply the brackets. (This is painless) Then they add the wire and molar caps. (Molar Caps are probably the worst part although the do not hurt... well to me) Hope I helped! Good Luck!

Answer 2

I recently just got my braces taken off. Yes be prepared for a little pain at first but the pain soon wears away just stick to soft foods when your braces hurt which they probably will do everytime you get them tightened.

If they do hurt, what I used to do was, take some paracetemols to dim the pain.

Answer 3

Yes we can put braces at all times if the dentist told you to do so. If You want your teeth to be nice and straighter, put it in! BUT NOTE! --> you will feel it very painful ! but its just once in a lifetime ! ;) Thanks .

Answer 4

It depends on how bad the teeth may be. Some orthodontists may just stick the braces on or they may put u in a palatal expander which has been known to cause discomfort. I was a lucky one and didn't need that. Other than that no it doesn't hurt. The doctor may change your wires which will hurt after so I recommend taking a pain killer before visits. They also do a procedure called bonding which is when the add more braces into your mouth or move old brackets around which will make your mouth sore. Other than that braces are a piece of cake! I had them when I was 9 and had them for about four years. And I also work in an orthodontists office so I can guarantee you that yes they will cause a little pain here and there but in the end you will have a beautiful smile and you will be very pleased.
