Ack!
I'm sorry to hear!
I don't have braces yet, so I really wouldn't know.
Hmm.. soup..? People mentioned that earlier.. sounds like it wouldn't be terrible.

drink soup. lots of soup! i don't know how but it helps...besides, that's all you can eat. blink.gif but just try some tylenol or advil and yeah sleep! because it gets your mind off of it so yeah. good luck!

I had them for 2 years, they feel like that once you first get them on and every time you get them tightened. Id always take pain killers but it never really helped that much. just eat soft food and within a week the pain should be gone.

chewing is wat really makes the pain go away faster so eat alot of soft foods. also take tylenol or advil or any pain reliever if it gets really bad.

but the best thing is 2 eat soft foods,

because u kno how they give u a chewing wafer if ur teeth hurts, well personally it hurts even more when u use it, so i just stuck 2 soft foods, so that ur still chewing, but not as much.

i got braces in march...when i got them my mom suggested that i eat soft foods but i was so stubborn and said i wanted a burger and fries..one bite of a fry and i couldn't even chew it becaue it hurt so much.

my advice..eat lots of pudding, ice cream, soup and jello.
xD

it'll be fine in a week...if you have to eat solid food break it into small pieces and swallow it whole..

FYI, chewing gum will only make things worse. The gum will get stuck on your braces, so chewing gum isn't a good idea. _smile.gif
