I am very scared i got my teeth extracted for braces, what to do?

Already done?: If extractions not done yet, having teeth removed is uncomfortable but very survivable. And the braces are even easier. No one's ever died from getting braces, although your orthodontist's bad jokes may make you wish that you did. Talk your concerns over with your orthodontic specialist for an explanation of what to expect.
