Generally, most patients do not find braces to be any big deal. Patients mouths are usually sore for the first week after they get braces. Also, their mouths are sore when the braces are tightened. However, with modern braces, most children get so used to the braces, that the children do not notice the braces, except when the braces are being tightened or if the child is hit in the mouth. Peer pressure is sometimes a problem, especially if your child gets old fashioned, clunky braces. However, stylish braces are now available, and most children feel good about them. Certainly, it is much easier for your child to get braces when they are twelve than to go through life with buck teeth.
