Drink soup. That's all you can basically do. Lol SUCKER! Lmao, just playing.
Anyway, for me, brushing my teeth hurt when I wake up in the morning. JUst a little thing touching your teeth hurts. Every little damn thing hurts when you acidentally hit your mouth.  And err....Well you get to pick pretty colors for your braces though.   Pretty colors~ And um....after all this like a year or two. You get them off and no it doesn't hurt..At least I don't remember anything hurting for me. *thumbs up* SO yeah. :D

omg that is normal. Don't worry about it, give it 1 month, then you'll be fine. Eat soft food, like mashed potatoes, or soup. For snacks, eat yogurt, pudding, and jello.
Plus it also sore, when it get tighten. Soon you will get used to it. Let's face it, I did. |

hmm i have friends that have braces and they tell me stuff, so i know a little bit. that's the same question i asked them... is that normal? and they said yes. it just happens all the time, you have to get used to it. it sucks but you have to get used to it >.<;; and my friends who still has braces said that they never get used to it cause so much pain in the first time putting braces and it was very hard to eat foods cause there was pain. so some of my friends are doing invisinline? whatever you call those heh

QUOTE roberts_pink_drums Posted Jan 31 2005, 5:06 PM I'm getting my braces. good luck, it doesnt really hurt when they put the braces so dont be scare  QUOTE Heewee Posted Jan 31 2005, 4:52 PM I got my braces on in fifth grade and got them off in seventh. I'm really glad that I got them on so early because I got them off early too. I would hate to have them now. It's normal for your teeth to hurt when you get them on and after every appointment that you have. I usually would take some painkillers and until they kicked in, I would eat applesauce. oo . painkillers. .. i never thought of that. QUOTE Spiritedfreak Posted Jan 31 2005, 4:12 PM Pretty sure it is. :] You'll get used to it. I may or may not get braces.. so ermm.. yeah. XD My crush just got braces. He looks even HOTTER! lol, good luck w/ your crush .. QUOTE Mireh Posted Jan 31 2005, 3:49 PM hells YES! OMG! YOU DON"T KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN I WAS IN WHEN I FIRST GOT THESE STUPID ASfoksainfKLFs. Yea, take advil, and go to sleep. advil is good ideas .. thanks QUOTE aznxdreamer Posted Jan 31 2005, 3:44 PM my friend had to go on a mashed potatoe and jello diet for a while yummy .. so i think its true that people w/ braces get the good stuff to eat .. for people who didnt recieve a comment is becuase i have nothing to said but actually, it helps thanks.

QUOTE(x_angawhomps @ Jan 31 2005, 3:08 PM) WTF. You liar you don't have braces. Edit// I have just recollected that I have never seen a picture where you are smiling with your teeth.  And OMG GIGI you're getting your braces off NOOOOOOOOO!   Haha, Eve. I swear I've seen a picture of Sammi smiling with her teeth showing though..hmm. Yah I just got them off today. It's so weird! I never knew my teeth were this big. LOL... I'm going to miss my braces. Oh, and wax is for when there are wires that stick and and stuff. You use the wax to cover it so it doesn't scratch your gums and such. But wax doesn't help it when your teeth are just sore. Try Tylenol. |

that's very normal, i suffer from the pain when i first had braces, eat tofu (if ur azn), drink soup (the one with more ingredients in order to get more nutrients), and use kitchen scissors to cut the solid food into pieces and eat it when you get to the 2nd to the 4th week of having braces, and i am so sure you will lose a little bit of weight, but not alot.

I've had my braces for almost two years. First day I got them I tried to eat a sandwhich
 Everytime I get mine tightened I go out to somewhere like Souper Salad. Learn to love soup! It will be your best friend. Don't worry about the pain. Its really bad at first because your teeth are like, "OMG We're in a cage! The cage is moving us! Fight back! Fight back!" But then they lose. And they get tired. And it gets easier to move your teeth around. Oh. Be careful about the wax. I put it in one night and fell asleep. When I woke up I thought my braces were falling off.

Everyone in here has given pretty good advice--just make sure you talk to your orthodontist and pay attention to the things they tell you to do when you have your braces on and after you get them off. I didn't listen and now I might as well have never gotten them in on the front row. My teeth are all shifted back into the same place they were before the braces.
Someone recommended wax--that stuff is okay but it sucks when it comes off in your food and you have to keep replacing it. It doesn't taste like anything but just remember to take it out first anyways. And braces these days are a little more fashionable than even when I had them in elementary and middle school. Good luck with them !
