The placement of bands and brackets on teeth does not hurt. Once braces are placed and activated with the arch wires, the patient may experience some soreness for a short period of time. Until they adapt to the appliances, lips and cheeks may experience some irritation.

During the first few days after you get your braces and after major adjustments, some discomfort can be expected, especially when chewing. The good news is that new techniques and materials used by orthodontists today have decreased the discomfort of wearing braces and have also decreased the frequency of visits and overall treatment time.

Many patients describe the discomfort as an “ache” or a “bruise.” Please see the First Aid section for helpful hints on how to adjust to these times.

No! The placement of bands and brackets on your teeth does not hurt. Once your braces are placed and connected with the archwires you may feel a little sore for one to four days. Your lips and cheeks may need one to two weeks to get used to the braces on your teeth.

Typically, patients experience very little discomfort during the office visit when they get their braces. However, later that same day, the teeth usually become tender, and soft foods are recommended. This soreness generally lasts for only a day or two.
