Braces

[Bat]

Do they hurt?

Not really. It all depends on what type of orthodontist you have. If they are patient and are really there for you, it shouldn't hurt too much. If they aren't there for you and just want your money, it can hurt. Tylenol is always something that my ortho had on stock for his patients. I didn't need any. I will say, it hurts more getting braces on than it does getting them off, for me at least.

Each person is different and your friends all try to scare you. Don't worry about it. It isn't bad.
