Braces?!?!?

i got my spacers yesterday and my teeth are killing me. i didn't eat anything yesterday and my teeth hurt to much to eat right now and im starving. do getting the actual braces hurt as much or more than the spacers? what types of food should i eat that wont bother my teeth?

Braces?!?!?
Braces didn't hurt for me. In fact i still have the bands on the back of my teeth after they took them off because I have to get mine on again. if you just take care of them like brushing your teeth and dont eat the foods you aren't supposed to, the you should be fine.
Reply:getting braces will hurt for a little bit, but you will get used to it. It will also hurt a lil after each time the ortho adjust or tightens your wire since you are moving your teeth and bite. For now just stick to smoothies, milkshakes, broth like soups and other food you can just swallow. Dont worry it will get better! And it will be worth it! I had braces and I am so much happier with my teeth now.
Reply:for me, the braces hurt much more than spacers.well, if all of ur teeth hurt, eat something thats really soft and doesnt need a lot of chewing like mashed potatoes and jello.
Reply:For me, braces hurt more than the spacers, but only when I first got them... when I get my braces tightened, they dont hurt as much.





Eat soup. its filling like a meal, but u dont have to chew... and u can slurp the noodles for fun :)... and u can also eat jello and mashed potatoes (like other ppl said)
