3 Week Torture of Pain
Well, lucky me, I'm on a 3 week schedule for torture. I have very low pain tolerance, so if something hurts I complain a lot, which I am right now.
Anywho, this week I got separaters. For those who don't know what those are, they are these rubber pieces (sort of like rubber bands that looks like a bead) that you stick in between your teeth to create space for an expander. So, today after school I got these separaters in, and now I'm feeling the effects. The left side of my upper jaw doesn't hurt (I took Motrin) but on the right side of my upper jaw it hurts BAD.
Next Monday I'm going to get the separaters taken out and an expander put it. Yay.. Then, on December 21, I'm getting braces. Lucky that one of my friends gets his braces off the day I get mine on. I really hate this. I really want to take this one separater out, but I can't. Even though it hurts I just gotta bare through it.. hopefully after the separaters nothing will hurt as bad..

I hate braces.. they hurt like hell everytime you go to see your orthodontist.... and seperators only hurt the first day or two... but I will finally be done with these little tourture machines in 6 months....

Re: 3 Week Torture of Pain
You have my sympathies. I had to endure over 3 years with braces.
It sucks major.

Re: 3 Week Torture of Pain
I had braces, But not the metal ones, they were InvisAlign or whatever. Only had them for about 15months, and changed them every two weeks. Those things hurt like crazy every time. And sadly i need them again because i never wore my retainer and my teeth are back to where they were, if not worse.
I hated the pain and all, but the end result was worth it. Well, would of been worth it had I not gotten lazy.

I don't think braces hurt that badly... I got mine off last September, and I had them for 13 months.
If you're in a lot of pain when they tighten them (put new bands on or switch the wire), you can tell them that you're sensitive to pain. They can slow down the correction and it won't hurt as much, though it'll take longer.
The end result is totally worth it.

Just remember this famous quote from the Marines...
PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY.
Good luck, hang in there!

Re: 3 Week Torture of Pain
I'm totally in for braces to make my teeth straight, just the pain makes me feel uneasy. I'm supposed to have my braces on for 20-24 months, so about under two years which isn't that bad.. I hope. I don't like pains in my mouth. I'd rather have a headache than pains in my mouth LOL. I'm jealous of my brother and sister.. my brother doesn't need em' and my sister has never had them. Though, my second oldest sister had them, but for less time than I'm having mine on..
How many times a year would I be making orthodontist appointments to tighten the braces?

Should be a monthly appointment with the ortho. They'll change your bands because they stretch and loosen over the month, so they replace them with tighter ones to keep your teeth moving.
