Braces and Pain?

Question

Braces and Pain?
I am and my daughter is , we are both getting braces this year we have great insurance and I have always wanted to get my one crooked tooth fixed! Anyway, Im wondering how painful it actually is. I have to have a tooth pulled and then the braces put on, my daughter only has to have the braces put on. Do they give you anything to take for pain or do they tell you to take Advil or Tylenol? I ask this because I am also trying to get pregnant and you cant take pain pills while you are pregnant. Appreciate your input!

Answer

its not that bad at all. i had the same thing, i had a tooth pulled then got braces, its nothing. just make sure they give u lots of novicane, and even if u can barely feel anything, say quotomg i feel that, i think i need more novicanequot. and i think they might give u vicodin for the toothpulling, but getting braces on is not painful at all. u just have to get used to eating with them, thats all. no biggie. and having braces for like a year is sooooooo worth not having crooked teeth for the rest of ur life. no matter how old u are.
