Braces
1. Will my face shape change after braces? like will my jaw get pushed back or mouth get smaller
2. My dentist told me I have to remove 4 teeth (2 top, 2 bottom) before the braces.
Does it hurt? I know that they will inject some stuff into my gum to make it numb but how long does the injection stuff last? After it wears off, will I be in extreme pain? Will it bleed? Can I still eat and talk after?
3. How does it feel to have 4 holes from the teeth removal in your mouth?
4. How do braces feel? Does it taste like metal? Will it rust? Will my tounge get stuck in them?
5. Any side effects from braces?
Sorry for the bombardment of questions, I'm very nervous
I'll ask my dentist this but I thought I might as well get some opinions from people who actually had similar experiences of braces
Any advice/ stories would be appreciated thankssss

HIYAA
I got my braces at 16 (I'm 17 now)
personally my teeth were messed up. I had an overbite that was very obvious even when my mouth was closed, my mum says my face shape changed but fret not because it'll change for the better. Your mouth won't get smaller necessarily but it'll look better
I had 2 teeth removed it was extremely painful because they did a bad job and they yanked half of it off so it was hell, my twin sister had 4 removed at the same time it was cool it get's numb but it doesn't stop you from talking lol the injection will probably wear off by the time you get into the car or the bus to go home so before that appointment make sure you've got painkillers (preferably Ibuprofen)
Your dentist will tell you when to eat but you'd probably have to eat soft food and liquids!
For the 4 holes my sister said you'll feel nothing even my holes are closing up now
Your braces won't taste like metal, It won't rust, your tongue won't get stuck in it
Side effects from braces would probably we a little bit of discomfort at night.

Depends on the saverity of your condition. People would still recognize you.

I had the same only with my top teeth though. It does hurt a bit, they will give you painkillers and antibiotics for a while, so it should be fine. You will have to eat soft food for a few days.

At first it feels funny and your gums are swallen and taste sour. It gets better within a few days.

They are strange at first. Your toungue is not stuck in it but some food does, they don't rust but they break and have to be fixed at an orthodontist. With time you wont even feel them at all, it will even be strange when they take them off.
5.
Your teeth decay faster. I don't know if any serious side effects.

I don't think they give painkillers, they might give you a prescription for antibiotics but they don't give you painkillers

They gave me... Well it was more like over the counter ones. I don't know if you need a prescription for them in the UK...
Antibiotics are a must!!!

No I meant since she's under 18 she can get the prescriptions for the antibiotics and get them for free
