As far as I remember, taking spacers out don't hurt. When they put the bands around your teeth though, it does feel weird -- kind of scrapey and tight while they're putting it on, and sometimes it pinches your gums when they get it all the way down. Tell them if it hurts and they should be able to adjust it for you. Also, those bands have a little thing that sticks out towards your cheeks, which is where the wire attaches to at the ends. Those little things that stick out and scratch at your cheeks and hurt for the first few days. Be sure and ask for dental/orthodontic wax to cover them up to reduce irritation. They'll show you how to use it. It's really easy and totally worth using. It'll save you lots of ouchy cheeks!
As far as the wire itself goes, it doesn't really *hurt* but it does feel weird. It feels like pressure, or pulling. In the next few hours/days, it will be sore. Make sure your parents get you some tylenol or advil to take in case you'd like a pain reliever. You may want to take one BEFORE your appointment to lessen any uncomfortable sensations you may experience after everything is "installed."
Depending on where the cavity is, they'll want to fix it before the braces go fully on. That way, it's easier to reach and less cumbersome of a procedure. Once you've got all the parts of the braces on, dental work gets that much more complicated.
Good luck with everything! It isn't so bad and you'll be happy when you're teeth come out nice. :)
You won't even feel getting the spacers taken out. The only thing that hurts is when you get them tightened, and that starts a few hours after the appointment.
No, when they take out the spacers your teeth will get relief from the pressure they have been under not painful at all. The wires being put in wont hurt either and the only thing about the small brackets that will be bad is just the taste of that glue they use for your teeth. Tastes sour. As far as the cavity's go im sure they will fix it and since it sounds like its small it wont hurt at all. Good luck with the braces :-)
Taking the spacers out doesn't hurt at all. The braces will hurt for a few days untill your mouth gets use to them. You mouth may also be cut up from the brackets, but they give you wax for that. If you take ibuprofen before you get your wires on it won't be as bad. I also suggest not eating really hard to chew food. Stick to soups and really soft noodles. I had braces for almost two years you get use to them after a while and don't even know that they are there. Depending on the cavity they might wait. Just make sure you brush your teeth and floss, if you don't it might make you more prone to cavity's and if you get one with braces on you have to wait untill the braces come off.
advil will become your best friend,
lets just say that.
Taking the spacers out doesn't hurt at all. It actually feels good after having them in for a week.
The wires and the metal ring hurt. It can hurt for 1 day to a week depending on how badly crooked your teeth are.
They will fix the cavity now only if it will be unreachable when you have braces on. It's probably nothing to worry about.
I'm not gonna lie, braces hurt. But the pain goes away quickly and isn't it worth it to have perfectly strait teeth?
