I have asked this question, but now i just want to know about the brackets as i have got more worked up about it! Does metal brackets hurt on the bottom and top? And what does it feel like? Does it hurt or just ache? nd how long does it take to put the braces on?x xD
Don't worry you will be fine! But to answer your question, yes and no. The brackets don't hurt like a shot or needle when they put them on put more just feel like pressure. It just takes some getting used to. The only pinching feeling that you might experience is after they are put on and you begin eating. Sometimes the wires may be a little too long and slightly irritate the inside of your cheek. It is more annoying than painful. If this is the case then just call the orthodontist and ask if he can cut the wire down a little more because it is a little too long. You will experience some aching when the brackets are put on but nothing too painful. It will be a little sore in the morning as well. Eat lots of ice cream don't worry and good luck!
