I never wore braces personally and
I get the overall theory of braces. It seems so painful… Can one adjust to them pretty easily?Just wondering about the mechanics. Tia!

When I was wearing braces, back in the late 1900s (when rocks were still runny), they hurt for about a week after getting put on the first time, and for 3-4 days after being tightened (when the wire pulling the teeth into alignment was manipulated to increase pressure). It wasn’t ever really bad, more a constant ache, and I preferred foods I didn’t have to chew too much in those times. But outside of those periods, I didn’t really notice them. There were foods I had to avoid, because they could damage my braces (which would be painful to experience and expensive to correct).
