Will it hurt when I get my braces on?

This is a common question that we receive at Vinson Orthodontics and it is a fear for many people.

Has your brother , sister, mother, dad, cousin or friend told you mean stories about how braces hurt? What should you expect when you get your braces?

The actual day that you get braces on does not hurt. You will not get a shot and there shouldn't be anything that is painful! No worries...you just have to sit still for about an hour which might be the biggest pain of all!! :)

The day you get your braces will be more of an adjustment period. If we ask someone what it feels like, the most common answer is "weird"! Typically, if you get braces on in the morning you may become sore in the afternoon or the next morning but we will give you all the helpful hints to prevent and treat the soreness!! After a few days...you will be back to normal!!

We are looking forward to a fun day putting your braces on!!
