Do Braces Hurt
Braces have gotten a bad reputation has hurting, mostly by children and teenagers. From our experience, the only part of the treatment that had any pain worth mentioning was the spacers. When asked do braces hurt, the answer is usually no.
Usually the pain is not enough to warrant taking an over the counter pain reliever, but it varies from patient to patient. Over all the experience is very pleasurable and a large percentage of patients report absolutely no pain at all. In fact some like to feel slight pain to know their teeth are moving.
If you are concerned, you should consult with your orthodontist. Children to adults across the world go through orthodontic treatment and report great results and it is worth the braces cost and years of treatment.
