Braces?????
oh , i just got braces today , and i can feel your pain ,


they hurt -- actually they're just very uncomfortable.





i have done a lot of research , because my pain was annoying me way too much , I found out that the pain should go away within 1-3 days.


so for now I just stick with the "soft"


foods like yogurt, applesauce, smoothies, and milkshakes.


mm, i actually had mac%26amp;cheese today so maybe you can try


to like mush them into smaller pieces and then smashing them with the roof of your mouth. make sure it's cooled down though. you can always try painkillers. ( i don't find the pain of chewing stops though)





i also heard that this happens everytime you get your braces tightened as well.





i know what you're going through.


good luck , i have 18 months to go D:
Reply:it'll get better in a week or two and then it'll just hurt for the few days after you get them tightened. I wore them for 4 years. It'll be worth it and your mouth will get used to them. I'm so glad I got braces. You will be so much more confident with a perfect smile!
Reply:Hi,


I have had my top braces on for a few months and the pain wasn't too bad when I got them on. Yesterday I got my bottom braces on and I am in excruciating pain. I really couldn't eat anything yesterday but pudding. Today at Target I found some really good Asian noodle dishes that were soft. I also ate a soft grilled cheese tonight. Soups, yogurt, apple sauce and pudding are great too. Make sure to take Tylenol to control the pain.


Good luck and it should be better in a few days.
Reply:i got brace about two months ago and yes the pain does stop, but it does take about 1 week AT THE MOST for it to stop, so just eat ice cream and soft foods (stuff like rice and really soft pasta, what i lived on for a week) and you should be good after a week
Reply:The pain does go away after about 2 weeks after you first get your braces on, then it comes back for a few days everytime you get them tightened but it's not nearly as bad. (Take a lot of tylenol!)





As for foods I found ice cream was pretty easy to eat aswell as chicken noodle soup.





I ate a lot of Ramen too. Just make sure you cut the noodles with a spoon/fork really well!





Make sure you cut up your food so you don't have to chew a lot. That goes for almost every food. Even foods you wouldn't ever, ever cut up XD.
Reply:mine stopped hurting completely on the fifth day but until thern eat really soft food
Reply:yeah it does. dont worry and use advil.it helps a lot. u can eat ramen noodles.theyre easy.
Reply:yeah i have braces...


i've had them for a about a year now.


but uhm, there not so bad.


you get used to them.


oh %26amp; yeah it will hurt when you first eat, so just eat really soft foods! like yogurt, or jello. or stuff like that.


but don't worry, it only hurts for about a day or so.





hope i helped ♥
Reply:i got braces a while ago hurt for about 3 days or so.....cottage cheese yogurt and soup manly stuff you can let slide down your throat. hope i helped.
Reply:the pain will definetly go away.


any kind of soup would be good because you arent chewing anything
Reply:mashed potatoes and soup.


wow. i had chef boy ardee once with braces


and only once.


don't eat it again.


it takes about twenty minutes to get all those little pieces of meat out of your teeth.


yeah, the pain stops. it'll come back every once in a while.


and don't try spaghetti for a few weeks. you'll choke on it.


good luck!
