How painful are braces?
You would rather chew on a wire brush than to have braces! You would rather sandpaper a Bobcats behind than get braces!! You see, I’m not a Doctor or a Dentist! I’ve never had braces! I’m a retired Fire Captain / Paramedic / technical rescue specialist/ Public Safety Rescue Diver who studied Hyperbaric Medicine and worked at several area hospitals providing Hyperbaric treatments for patients most were wound care others were compromised flaps and graphs. Burn injuries, divers suffering from the bends…… And since I have the same name as a Dentist who works at one of the hospitals I once worked for Someone has confused me with him and I have been getting email questions for years and have replied many times to everyone I could think of to fix this issue, But I continue to get them . P.S. braces are not painful, they make your teeth sore after adjustments but that goes away quickly. 4 of my children had them. READ MORE
