How long with my teeth hurt?
They're going to hurt a few days and everytime you have them tightened they are going too hurt again.





Stay away from corn on the cob, caramels, juju beans.


Okay to chew gum but not the sticky kind.
Reply:hmm give it a week :)
Reply:like less then 2 weeks
Reply:They will hurt for about 3 days maybe 5 days maximum. Everytime you go back to the orthodontist they will 'tightened' them and the process starts again and it will hurt for another 3-5days.
Reply:When I got braces, back in the day, when I was a teenager, it took a day or two for my teeth to be able to bite down into something. I couldnt even eat a bean burrito from Taco Bell, it hurt that bad. Just stick with soft foods for the next couple days and you should be ok. ...





Be prepared though, everytime you go get your braces tightened, you are going to go through the same thing all over again.
Reply:about a week. But don't worry, it wont be sore when you get them tightened. Now if you get the rubberbands that go from top to bottom... that's another story.
Reply:3 days. And it will hurt when you have braces and eat certain food like skittles and stuff. But most of the pain should be gone in about 3 days from the day you got them.
Reply:I am getting braces soon and people tell me it takes about two-three days till the pain stops.
Reply:I say in a few days you may be able to eat harder foods but every time they tighten them it will hurt the next day and don't expect to eat anything to out there. We always were stalked up on soup and stuff for the 24-36 hours after the ortho appointments. You;ll get used to them soon though and you won't have to eat mashed potatoes the whole time you are wearing them i promise
Reply:i got my braces about 2 months ago and yes they killed but mine lasted about3 weeks tops but my teeth r very delicate so for u it might hert for about 2 weeks tops.
Reply:Okay when I had mine it lasted about a week.


And when you get your braces tightened it might be sore but not as sore as when you first got them.
Reply:About a week and a half but you'll still need to avoid hard or chewy foods like peanuts or taffy, also chips can be tricky when wearing braces.
Reply:may be 3 days
