Yes. There is no reason to miss school because of an orthodontic appointment. Usually soreness will last approximately 1 to 7 days after the initial placement of the braces depending on the patient. Pain medications such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be used to ease discomfort.
