How long do your teeth ache after you have braces?
Hey guys:D
I'm getting braces tomorrow. Some of my friends said their teeth hurt for like 3 days, however some of my friends said they hurt for 2 weeks. I guess everyone is different, but I just wanted to know how long your teeth hurt after you got braces.
Thanks.

Hey There!
Everyone is different, like you said. It basically depends on your pain tolerance. I only ached for about 4 days, and that’s average. You’ll be able to eat normally after a week, it’ll be worth it. Believe me, when the pain feels really bad, think to yourself "No pain, no gain." The aching starts about an hour after they put them on. The process is painless. Good Luck! :-)

i have braces and they didn’t bother me, i’d say 5-7 days maximum, but mine only ached for about 3 days, they feel weird if anything, they didn’t really ache me but i’d say about 3-4 days :) everytime you get them tightened too they ache after that so you just get used to it really, it’s not agonising ache, it is bearable.

Mine lasted for a week. I think it is different for each person.

I don’t remember for certain, but several days to a week, but during that time you can slowly feel them getting better. And it’s not that they ache the whole time, but they just ache when you eat.
