The orthodontic braces are smaller and smoother, plus gentle wires provide continuous light forces over a longer period of time. Typically the patient is not uncomfortable while in the office but will experience some discomfort for two to three days after each adjustment. Over the counter pain relievers can be taken for sore teeth.

It depends on the type of braces you use. Old-fashioned braces will hurt many times. However, if you have modern braces, it is possible to have slight discomfort when they are first put on, and a day or two after adjustments.

Dr. Herberger is using the most current technology for orthodontic movement of teeth. These latest technological advances have made treatment more comfortable for patients. The orthodontic braces are smaller and smoother, plus gentle wires provide continuous light forces over a longer period of time. Typically the patient is not uncomfortable while in the office but will experience some discomfort for 1 to 2 days after each adjustment. Each patient will experience a different level of discomfort. As treatment proceeds we make individual adjustments to how we do things to make treatment as comfortable as possible. Over the counter pain relievers can be taken for sore teeth.
