It shouldn't do at all, it will just feel really weird and slightly uncomfortable. When I had a tooth out the nurse got some of the numbing gel on my lip and it felt like it was hanging down and stuff. But no hurt, just weird.

The numbing doesn't hurt. You might get a tiny prick as they inject the anaesthetic (if you're worried about that, tell them and they will be able to put on some numbing gel before the needle goes in which will stop you from feeling that), and then you don't feel any pain. As they pull the teeth out, you'll feel tugging and jerking but no actual pain where it's happening. Then as the anaesthetic wears off the spot(s) where the teeth were will be sore for a while afterwards - standard painkillers will help with that. Putting the braces on doesn't hurt, just feels a bit strange.

In my opinion, it hurts more when the anesthetic wears off! I had two teeth extracted before I had braces, this is going back 5-6 years ago.
