Orthodontic patients should fully understand all facets of wearing braces. First of all, the treatment is not paid for by health or dental insurances. Therefore, patients must be ready to take on the financial burden of this expensive process. The average length of orthodontic treatment is two years, so people need to consider if they are willing to commit to such a long term. Wearing braces can be uncomfortable and painful because of the extreme tension and pressure caused by the twisting and movement of the brackets and wiring. Additionally, the diet of orthodontic patients is limited because certain foods could damage the braces.

How long does the wisdom teeth heal before getting braces?
The bottom answer is not totally correct. You must wait at least a few weeks, preferably 3 months, before getting braces in order to let the gums and the bone heal properly before putting on braces. They can never get braces because they will irritate the damaged gums.
Spacers and how to remove them?
Spacers are the rubber bands that your orthodonist might put in between your teeth before about 2-3 weeks before you get braces. They are usually baby blue. It's kind of like getting braces. They hurt the first day or two, but the pain eventually fades away. Before getting braces, your orthodonist will remove your spacers with a scissor/tweezer like device before adding your braces. Hope that I helped(:

Do braces hurt while putting them on?
To me the braces doesn't hurt. Before thinking of getting braces think of a person putting super glue on your teeth it doesn't hurt that bad. Then you can choose your color for your braces 1 time every month. But if you put your braces like when you are 17 it hurts more so I recommend you to do your braces as soon as possibleI took out my braces already. =]
