I went to the orthodontist yesterday. I'm going into phase 2 of braces, and I'm getting them on July 16 On my first phase, it didn't hurt one bit, just a little presure on my teeth, a little discomfort but not pain. I've also had somewhere around 3-4 baby teeth pulled because the adult teeth have come in behind them.....that hurt worse than braces, but not too bad. The times I got the first 2 pulled, it didn't hurt at all, the 3rd actually hurt even though I got 5 shots of anasthstetic (sp I have no clue ) and the last one (not too long ago) had discomfort.....I probably just bored you out of your mind.....sorry!
