if your mouth is really sensitive, you may find some irritation lol, my mom had to wear wax on her bottom braces the entire time!! I guess I have a mouthg of iron, because I hardly ever have problems.
It hurts every time you get them titghtened about every two weeks.
The wax they refer to above mostpeople use for a while ntil the mucosa thinkens and becomes used to the brackets rubbing against them.
they dont really hurt all that bad it is more discomfort than anything else. the most discomfort is usually the day after they are tightened. when you first get your braces on it will feel weird, but you will get used to it. i recommend having some soft food on hand while your teeth are sore. hope i helped!
