Does getting teeth extracted for orthodontic treatment hurt?
During orthodontic tooth extraction, dentists typically use local anesthesia to ensure patients do not feel pain during the procedure. After the extraction, as the anesthetic wears off, you may experience some mild pain or discomfort, but most people can tolerate it. If the pain is more noticeable, pain relievers can be taken under a doctor's guidance to help alleviate it. Additionally, maintaining good oral hygiene after tooth extraction is important to prevent infection and promote faster healing of the wound.
