How Long Will it Take to Get Used to My Braces?
Most new patients getting braces are completely used to their braces after about a month. After six months, or even sooner, they don't even notice they're there. However, it's not unusual for teeth to occasionally start hurting for no apparent reason - this is normal, and should go away fairly quickly. If necessary, treat with over-the-counter pain relievers.
