Root canals are not needed because of braces. It is just a coincidence if you need a root canal after you have had braces.

Once the cavity gets close to the nerve of the tooth a root canal will have to be performed and the tooth will need a crown on it.

I have had 4 root canal therapies done in 3 weeks and narcotic pain relief really wasnt needed for the teeth that were opened. Several were 4 canal molars and a canal was missed in each tooth upon initial treatment and pain relievers still were not needed.

AnswerDepends on the doctor and the patient. Some doctors are more liberal about prescribing pain meds, while others have been frightened and intimidated into almost never prescribing them (there's been a HUGE backlash against over-prescribing pain meds, and now things have gone to the opposite extreme, where it's extremely difficult to get them).
It also depends on the patient. Some might not be in too much pain, while others will be in agony. Personally, my root canal was one of the most painful experiences of my life (the other was dislocating/fracturing my shoulder recently, though the broken arm I had in 2005 is a close runner-up) and I needed opiates. The doctor actually didn't prescribe any at first, just sent me home telling me to take Advil.
Then I called him the next day, literally screaming in pain -- honestly, the pain was so bad that I could barely think straight enough to dial the number and speak -- so I rushed back in a taxi and he gave me a Vicodin prescription. After that, the pain was perfectly manageable.
What can I eat after root canal?
If you've just had it done and it's tender then have some soup and make either a chicken salad sandwich or tomato and cheese on soft bread. By the next day you should be fine. Stay away from alcohol (can make it bleed worse if it's bleeding) and drink lots of water (not too cold) and there is no reason you can't have coffee or tea.
Can a normal person fall asleep during a root-canal?
When a tooth's nerve tissue or pulp is damaged, it breaks down and bacteria begin to multiply within the pulp chamber. The bacteria and other decayed debris can cause an infection or abscessed tooth. An abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms at the end of the roots of the tooth. An abscess occurs when the infection spreads all the way past the ends of the roots of the tooth.
