I had IPR done this morning, it doesn't hurt at all.

[HelloImIsabelle.]

Ya'll in the comments are freaking me out bc I'm pretty sure I have to get this done at my orthodontist appointment tomorrow 🙃

[nonsolotesla]

does it cut only on the side or it could also cut the gum by mistake?

[subingtoeveryone]

Bro I'm fucking terrified of anything teeth or just dentist related

[nimfab]

what if it accidentally sliced the guuuums😲

[lia]

Omg don’t bring that up 😭. My ortho burned me with the acid wash for the braces glue so I’m super excited to see what happens here.

My dentist didn't do this to me. Now when i got my braces removed one of my teeth below is still a bit misaligned

[zzzzzzhhhhh]

My orthodontist said I'll have this done on my next appointment 💀

[Rome]

That thing hit my gum one time and my whole mouth was bleeding bad they had me go wash it out In the sink😂

[NanceeMarin]

I've had it done twice. No, it doesn't hurt. It looks a lot worse than it actually is.

Slenderization according to my orthodontist

[Brunie]

For me the procedure was not painful but the next 2-3 days the pain 😢 and it make sense because the teeth needs to move and align.

[devonac]

Yes because this one tooth at the bottom had crowd I D but this one tooth refuse to get in place I still have braces

[ForeverFriesians]

[senayslife]

[itz_k]

[aryacookies]

[angelhitt]

Please don't bring that up to my face because sometimes I move and it might hurt if I move because I'm very shaky

[austinzizzi]
