Very important question!
I'm getting braces in either october or early next year. I have 4 baby teeth that need to get pulled and descend before I get the braces. I have one on my right top side that is currently loose, one on my upper left side that if that they don't pull the baby tooth, the adult tooth will push into my palate. And I have one on each side on the bottom as well. Does the procedure hurt? And another question: What kinds of foods can I not eat when I get my braces? Please help me.
Answer
I've had braces and plenty of teeth pulled. to tell you the truth it really doesn't hurt at all. when you see the shot and tools they use to take your teeth out it scares you. but braces do hurt especially the first time you get them on. they hurt for about 3 days. you can eat jello, yogurt, noodles basically anything soft. but i did try to eat a cheese burger once. i couldn't even break the bread it hurt so bad. be strong. it pays off. oh and another thing every time you get your braces tightened, eat right away. because your teeth will really hurt after about 1-2 hours and last 1-2 days. good luck i hope i helped.

Getting teeth pulled doesn't hurt because they give you stuff to make you sleep. You don't fall all the way asleep but it seems like a dream. Getting braces on doesn't hurt either because they're just gluing brackets onto your teeth. They'll be a little sore but it's nothing you can't handle. The orthodontist will tell you what you can't eat, but for me they said no really hard stuff like pretzels or corn nuts and no sticky stuff like gum or taffy. I actually popped one of my brackets by eating pretzels. Just be careful and follow the directions they give you and you'll be fine. I actually miss my braces. I haven't had them in 10 years but I always thought I looked better with braces, they make your lips looks bigger. Good luck and no worries. Just remember how beautiful your teeth will be when they come off. (source: Yahoo! Answers)
