how long will pain from braces last?


Question:
when will i get the normal feeling in my teeth or are my teeth going go stay numb and sensitive for the whole entire 2 years?

Answers:
Don't worry, the pain isn't staying the whole time. Your teeth will feel normal again. It'll take some getting used to, but you'll be okay. The initial pain is probably the worst, it shouldn't last too long, a few days to a few weeks, as people vary. The tightenings are unpleasant too, I'm sorry to say. But the pain shouldn't last as long, a couple of days or so. Don't be scared, the tightening itself is okay, it's that the pain sets in after a while as your teeth are adjusting to the tighter setting. Well, that's my two cents on that, I hope you're feeling better sooner than later. Just think how gorgeous your smile will be. I never did this, but you should take a before and after picture. Hang in there, it'll get better!

Usually a week or two.

And uh forget the loser before me. Whoever that is is so unsensitive and so not beautiful.
until about a week after they take them off... good luck, just see it as the best diet plan ever
hey it only lasts a day or so,,, i remember having it done., I had train track and everything,,,you ll be okay,,, it ll go in few days,,,
Maybe the first couple of days it nothing that Tylenol or any pain killer wont cure
My son started his braces this past Monday (six days ago). He takes Advil and says he has little pain or numbness. From my own experience over forty years ago the pain and numbness were just bearable and went away after a month or so.
WELL U WILL HAVE SENSITIVITY FOR THE MOST PART, ESPECIALLY WHEN U GO GET THEM TIGHTENED ONCE A MONTH.U BECOME SENSITIVE TO COLD AND HOT, BUT U LEARN TO DEAL WITH IT ITS JUST SOMETHING ASSOCIATED WITH HAVING BRACES, I HAVE TWO KIDS WITH BRACES. WELL GOOD LUCK .
Well maybe they'll be fine once you break them in, and then hurt whenever the doctors tighten them afterwards. Atleast thatz wat my friends tell me.
3 days and then periodically when you eat certain food
After getting them first on the pain will go away in a week to two weeks tops.

When you get them tightened it will be just a tight feeling pain and when you bite down on hard food it hurts, that will go away a few days after each tightening and eventually it will just hurt the next day.
