How long will braces's bands be on?
Question:
These extra strength pain releivers are barely numbing. x__x
Answers:
The best thing to do would be to ask your orthodontist, but generally the discomfort goes away in a few days. Make sure u wear the bands as directed, because thats the only way they will work. Braces stay on anywhere from 12 months to 3 years or longer, depending on the problem they are trying to fix.
Good luck
my daughter recently went through the same thing. the pain will get better on the third day, so hang in there. use advil.
she just got her braces put on yesterday after having bands, and then an expansion device for 2 week. the bands were by far the most painful of all.
It depends on how crooked your teeth are. The more straightening they need the longer they will be on. Can also depend on how easily the teeth adjust into place.
