Im not sure how bad it will hurt. I knew a girl that had braces for a couple years. She would put these little colored rubber bands on her braces (that was cute) to give it what ever color she wanted.
She didn't say it hurt.
When you first get braces it is about a 8 but just take some advil and it usually lasts for 1 1/2- 2 weeks. The color I would normally get when I had braces was either silver or light pink. Well I had a majority of the problems you had, and I'm guessing they will say 2 - 2 1/2 years.
They said that time limit for me but I only had mine for 1 year and 7 months. Just remember to brush twice a day. Mouthwash is KEY and WEAR YOUR RUBBER BANDS.
For pain my rating is 7 I think near about 1and half year time req for removing braces because I m also have braces which r removing in march 2012 . U have in starting day then best of luck.
I got my braces off about nine months ago :) The pain... at first I'd say it was about 8ish, but it gets better. I think it was almost completely gone after about three days, but I had braces on top and bottom. It was awful at the time, but looking back it wasn't actually all that bad xD Get any color you want, just don't get yellow/bright green ones because they look gross.
I'm guessing it will take about two years... but I'm not sure. Good luck! :D x.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
