OUCH! three times!?!??!? Wow! I've had them once and that was more than enough for me lol! The spacers hurt for a bit...it'll fell fine in a day or two because the teeth are just kinda moving around right now. One of my spacers actually fell out and I had no idea lol! I won't lie...there is discomfert when you get the braces on BUT it isn't bad. I'm a big wuss...I'm sure you can handle it. And..the teethpulling...doesn't hurt. I've gotten it done..god knows how many times. I had to get almost half of my teeth out at once when I was alot younger...and had to get afew out a couple years ago. They don't hurt much. I actually think the needle they gave me hurt more! lol. It just feels like someone's pulling on your tooth! No pain..just pressure. Although, follow cheshirekatt's advice...EAT ALOT before you go! I had to wait for days before I could eat regular foods because it'd hurt when I applied pressure. All I had for those few days were congee LOL! Anyways, be brave..it's not as bad as it sounds and it'll all be done in a flash.

Oh yea..i have a tip...when you go to the ortho's again, stock up on wax..you'll need it.
