PH's thread of the routine dental "ow"S!

So yesterday afternoon, i stepped into the dental clinic for what i thought was the usual cleaning, and came out as a braceface.
😐

i had no idea it would hurt this much.🤪 ❌ 😖

i wasn't even aware my teeth needed fixing...my teeth aren't crooked..but apparently i need minor jaw adjusting or something.

all i can think of now is the pain , and the more of it that is to come, and the day, hopefully not too far off when i get these things out my mouth!😱

so dear kmcers who have been through a similar experience, educate me how to get through this and send good vibes my way.

please and thank you!

😕

hug

i havent ever had them 😬

Aw 🙁 Sweetie, I've had braces for 4 years now, and Im FINALLY getting them off next month!! 😱 anyway, My teeth were like yours...didn't look crooked at all, but I guess they were ermm

Anyway, I can tell you as long as you have them, your liver will go through a crash course 😖 Ibuprofen yourself silly! shockyes

on a bright side alot of people think braces look cute flirt2

im here for moral support petpet

HA! I mean...that sucks.

They told me I would have braces for only two years and it ended up being three years. The rubber bands will make your mouth sore as hell for the first few days, yeah ibuprofen, then you'll get used to them and you won't even know they are the there. You'll adjust.

You must be excited! and you'll have perfect teeth too!

yeah...my teeth never looked problematic...they have no gaps and aren't crooked or something...but apparently not perfect enough and the nurse said mine was an "easy case" so..*shrugs*

whatever is this Ibuprofen?

i haven't taken any painkillers...yet. but its just the second day now.

and i can't eat! or chew! every teeth of mine is achey and my gums are sore.my tummy hungersand i've been living on soup.

note to all: don't take chewing and biting for granted!😐

yeah...i just hope the pain is worth the smile when they come off.

and thanks! 😊

i need a "bite plate" and rubber bands soon enough i think...

🤪

yeah..i hope so. we shall see...

ow.

Well well punkyherm I got braces too. When they put them on they hurt but you'll get use to them later on! It hurts cuz it feels like the orthondonist is pushing your teeth into your mouth.

I suffered that pain millions of times but I managed to outlast it.

I have to where them for two years. I got like 6 more months to go!!! My appetite for food has grown also. I don't know the deal about that but............. 😮 😄

All for the better its going to come out just fine!!

Just wait til the wires start sticking out and cutting up your gums and inside of your lips, thats fun.

Everyone bitches about the pain, I never had any, ate McDonalds the day I got them in srug

i actually managed to feed myself food that wasn't all liquid-y. 😱

im supposed to get my wisdom tooth removed soon 🙁

ow.

mine too...right after the dental treatment. *freaks*

must be off to teeth brush...i'm too lazy to...but i must...

Hamburger the day i got mine in, was ill advised because i woke up feeling like i had been punched in the mouth several times.
My braces were also self tightening so it was always sore.
Elastic bands were no fun either, constantly felt like your teeth might be pulled out for the first few days.
Also, once you do get them off wear your retainers!
I almost had to get re-equipped with the hardware cause i didn't wear them

wow...okay.

will do.😛

Wouldnt know never had braces....BRACE FACE!...J/K...not.

LOL.

nah..i am a brace face.😬

I had braces, when I got them I had to have 2 injections in my mouth. Stay away from hard food, else the wire breaks/comes loose then you have to go to the dentist as soon as possible and that isn't nice. I also got wax so that the skin inside my mouth could get some relief from the scraping of the braces. Don't worry the pain soon goes away and you get used to them - well I did anyway, it only hurts when the braces get tightened but that also goes away.
