Braces?!?!?!?!?!?
Don't worry about the pain. It will get better. But it may hurt a little every time you see the orthodontist when he/she adjusts them. But which is better: endure some pain for a period of time for a drop dead gorgeous smile that will last you a lifetime or have no pain and a lifetime with messed up teeth? Also, follow the orthodontists' instructions EXACTLY while the braces are on and even after they are removed to ensure the success of the braces. Trust me I know from experience. I had braces on my teeth for three years and now my teeth and smile are beautiful!


Enjoy your braces while you have them. Think of them as mouth jewelry (bling bling for the teeth?) and most important of all - keep smiling. Good luck with them.
Reply:Ok, did they give you wax? put that on, and eat soup, noodles, anything soft.

Reply:Take some Ibuprofen or Tylenol. That should help some. And they should stop hurting by tomorrow or the day after.
Reply:You can take some Motrin or Tylenol with water and food.





REMEMBER:


Eat soft foods!


Don't eat or chew anything hard or sticky!


Brush your teeth very well!





The pain will eventually go away, don't worry :)
Reply:Use your wax %26amp; try not to talk too much cuz moving ur mouth around hurts. Believe me, u will get used to them it just takes a few days @ first. I remember when I first got mine I was in such pain like the 1st few days after, but they hardly bother me anymore. Put wax on every part thats cutting you..you can always get more if you run out. If you get headaches from the pressure take soem ibuprofen %26amp; u will be fine ;o) Just think, your teeth will be so pretty in a year or two. Good luck.
Reply:call your dentist
Reply:Advil is your best find for now until they come off . sometimes they will hurt and sometime it dint hurt. like me the first time i had brace i always had Advil with me . now i had the the second time and they never hurt me.
Reply:i got braces over the summer and i went through the same thing..just eat soft foods and take some pain killers. hopefully that should work. but another thing that gets your mind off the pain is hanging out with friends or watching an amazing chick flick like dirty dancing! feel better!
Reply:after the first week you'll be fine...also exercising helps reduce the pain
Reply:they usally hurt for the first couple of days, but the pain will soon go away.for now you might want to stick to softer foods.
