In fact, there isn’t a definite answer to this question, as everyone’s feelings toward pain remain divided. For those who are sensitive to pain it may be quite painful, while others, capable of enduring fierce pain, think it’s not a big deal.

    No matter how your feel, there is indeed some pains along with the orthodontic procedure. 

    In some cases, tooth extraction is required to create spaces for orthodontics. Generally it is bicuspids or wisdom teeth that will be removed. With the application of anesthetic, the process will be almost painless. However, it’s quite normal to suffer swelling and pains, which can be mitigated by taking painkillers, within the first two or three days.

    At the first few hours after wearing braces, when you are struggling to get used to it, you may feel an obvious sensation of foreign body and pains. During the whole treatment, chances are that braces will cut your mouth and lead to ulcers. By coating with a layer of protective wax can such risks be reduced. 

    Your orthodontist is supposed to impose greater pressure on your teeth during each of your return visit, in light of your personal case. Ordinarily, the first pressure-adding action will cause a stronger feeling, while the following visits will be much easier to go through. So you can ease your mind on that. With a better financial condition, you can choose to use an accelerator exclusively used for orthodontics. It helps to complete the whole procedure in a shorter period and mitigate pains along with the procedure.
