I am getting them soon, I hope they aren't painful.......
techfashion0315 techfashion0315

Don’t worry it wasn’t painful for me…you’ll do great!! 👍

I have a very high pain tolerance, so it should be fine, the only reason I was worried, is bc my girl cousin got braces, and she cried all night. But I should be fine.
techfashion0315 techfashion0315

Same, I was only scared because my sister told me it would be super painful but seriously it is no big deal at all! It just takes about an hour or so to get on. Then it takes about a week to get used to but after you get used to it, you won’t even mind them at all 😁

I got braces, too! I just got my bottom brace off so I have to wear retainer for six months until can only wear it in nights.

techfashion0315 techfashion0315

Oh my word! The same thing happened to me too! I got my bottom off first and then a month later they took off the top!

Good luck, it’s super fast and easy! The best part is that they polish your teeth which makes them really glossy feeling!

book_addict book_addict

Exciting! It might hurt though, especially if you have sensitive teeth. But I won’t scare you, because everyone is different 😜. Good luck, anyway!
techfashion0315 techfashion0315

I just got mine off just a few days ago too!!!! I had to do the same for a little bit but now I can only wear my retainer at night. Also I have a wire behind a few of my teeth which I have to wear for 6 months. Congrats on getting your braces off!!!
