You get used to them in about a month.

Just to make you feel better, eating is almost impossible for the first two weeks, and each time you get them tightened, it feels just as bad for 3-4 more days. spam;

You'll feel like shit for about two months, and you probably can't eat anything for two weeks. After that, you'll get used to them, and after six months, you'll forget you have them.

Also, each month when it's tightened, you'll feel just like you feel right now for a few days.

And make sure you brush your teeth well. Night and day. It's important.

uh the pain shouldn't last for 3-4 days. maybe one.

make sure to keep them clean though, food gets stuck in there pretty easily.

also the pain is making you stronger.

That's a damn lie and you know it.

If I was to get shot in the hand, and it magically healed up and everything, and then got shot again, in the same spot, you telling me it wouldn't hurt as much?

That's a stupid analogy so I'm going to ignore it and let you know I had braces for 3 years and I know for a fact I didn't go through 3-4 days of pain. They do tighten them but it's not like the first time where you're getting them put on and tightened and used to them. It shouldn't last for longer than that day and maybe a little into the next.

It's more like if someone punched you really hard and then after it all healed up they punched you with barely force at all every month or so.

I got mine off during the summer. Retainers are just as bad :(

Retainers are worse, if anything. At least as far as pain and maintenance goes. That's why I stopped wearing mine like a week after I didn't have to go to the orthodontist ever again.

also because i'm such a hardass rebel

I have to go to the Dentist this thursday to get my wisdom tooth pulled out.
And after that, they're gonna schedule another appointment so I can get braces. :(

How bad does getting a wisdom tooth pulled out hurt?
