Braces????
NO but it will help when i got braces i was sore 4 like4 or 5 days and even when Ur not sore it will come back every now and then but eating will help a little
Reply:the braces will be sore for the first few days as your teeth start adjusting. eating has nothing to do with it.....but do follow your orthodontist's recommendation on what to eat (i.e., stay away from sticky foods).





keep in mind that your teeth will be sore for a day or two each time the orthodontist adjusts them
Reply:i have had braces before, and at first they will hurt, sometimes a lot and sometimes not very much. your aunt is right to a certain degree. you have to slowly get used to eating your normal foods again. try with things that are soft like cooked carrots or jello, then work your way up to your normal food.





but if it is still hurting for a while after, then you should get your braces checked out to make sure nothing is wrong.
Reply:Your mouth will hurt for awhile it will probably last for a week, then its gone It will always hurt everytime they tighten your teeth so its best that you eat soups and drink water.
Reply:your teeth will be sore for about a 2 weeks or so depending on all what you got on. Try eating soft foods like mashed potatoes, pudding, jello, ect. chewing sugarless gum will help the most. try not to eat chips or anything else crunchy because it will take the braces off. if you do break it up. so yeah there sore now but it will go away sooner the more you try to eat. have fun......braces arent really that bad, they pay off...
