Having Braces, Do They Really Hurt?

Hey there guys! Hive account@blogger017 here. Many people have had braces before, wether it is during teenage years, early 20’s, late 20’s or what age they desire to have them. But what are really the uses of braces? Are they just to be placed on teeth? And do they really hurt? Well! Those questions are the once that I am going to talk about in this blog! Let’s go!

Firstly, what are braces? And what is their use?

• Dental Braces, but more known as braces are devices that are used in orthodontics. Braces help align teeth and straighten them too, for a better smile and a better bite! They also improve dental health.

Are They Just Placed on Teeth?

• as I said earlier, they align the teeth, so they are not placed just for props, those colorful bands are not just for fashion too, they keep the wire of the braces intact so it can align the teeth. (The color of my bands are gray and emerald green!)

The last Question, Do They Really Hurt?

• well, they do! But it doesn’t hurt during the procedure, cleaning or placing of the brackets. It’s where the teeth starts to feel weird because it was not used to having braces, and what gave me so much aching, was the spacers! Spacers are like the rubber bands on the brackets but much bigger. They are placed between the teeth so there could be space for the molar bands.

I literally can’t even bite into scrambled eggs 😂. Thankfully, the pain only lasted during the first adn second day with braces, now I am on week 3 and thankfully, I can eat normally again 😂.

So if you are planning to have braces, as long as you can tolerate the pain for the first few days, I guess you’ll be fine with it. From time to time, my teeth would still feel sore, but not as sore as before.

Also, I was given a cleaning kit! And some items to relieve the pain from braces! Thankfully I had those hehe.
