omg...don't worry. i meant to reply to your other post about em.
it's not that painful. my orthodonics stopped tightening em after a while, but i had a tooth that was like sideways, kinda and he had to put one of those wires and it was painful. and i had to have a tongue guard...it went on the roof of your mouth and had a place for the wires to go through (at the end). i got mine off like 2 months ago and it was worth, all 2 years and a previous year a couple of years ago!:D

YES! GET THE SHOT!!! My dad got it without the shot and he said it hurt so much and he almost passed out! So, the shot is ALOT less painful than without the shot!
