Ibprofen helps a lot, but its mostly just time that'll help. After a week it shouldnt be as painful. |

I know what you mean. They hurt like crazy. To stop the pain you need to eat or drink something really cold. Like your favorite ice cream, milk shake, smoothie, cold ice water, and any other cold things you can put in your mouth... The pain will go away. |

Pain medications are really the only answer, know what you are talking about. Just hang in there, take something for the pain. |

hah.... ohhhhh yes, i remember my braces. youre going to be VERY sore for the first two weeks. i know its terrible pain to eat anything at all, so try to just live on soft foods (milkshakes, jello, chicken noodle soup, mashed potatoes, pudding, things like that). honestly youll probably be hungry more than usual just bc those foods arent much, but i know it hurts too bad to eat anything else. just try to stick it out.
and you can take pain killers like ibuprofen or tylonel. they wont take the pain completely away, but it'll help a little bit.
drinking alot of ice water will help also.
its really just the first 2 weeks that are almost unbarable, but it definately gets better. eventually every time you go for a new wire or new chain, you won't have problems at all :]
gl. go lay down, take a nap. try to forget about it. |

I just got that last week. It hurt to eat or chew anything for 3-4 days. After that, it didn't seem like it was there anymore!!! Good luck though... |

I had the exact same problem but you just need to suffer through it sorry. I think you should take some alive or a non-prescription pain killer. I hope you feel better. |

Go get a plastic rubber type strip to chew on. It's changing bone it's gonna hurt but the chewing will help it along. |

take a pain reliever and eat soft foods. The best thing to do is let it run it's course, your teeth will stop hurting after a little bit don't worry. Hang in there! |

take an advil or ibuprofen drink a lot of liquid stuff like jamba juice, soup, ice cream, etc.
and sleep because every time you wake up it feels a little bit better.
i go through this like every month.
it will go away in 3-4 days you'll be fine!!
good luck your pearly whites looking good will be worth it |

Take paracetemol to help relieve the pain, and call your orthodontist, he may release the tension a little. Rest assured that this pain does begin to ease off as your teeth start to realign - it happens reasonably quickly each time. Poor you - it will be worth it in the end. |

oh wow I had braces for four years.
When I got them off I never wore my
retainer, so now i have to get them
again for about two years!
MAKE SURE YOU WHERE YOUR
RETAINER WHEN YOU GET THEM
OFF!
[sorry I had to say that first before I
answered your question]
When I did have braces though I had
the same problem. My teeth and gums
were very sinsative so you can go to
a drug store or something and pick up
something that makes it all numb!
WOO! It takes a while to work though
just be careful when you use it and don't
get it on your tounge, i did and i bit my
tounge so hard it started to bleed and
when the numbing stuff wore off it hurt
like crap! So yeah, i don't really know
what its called but I know its out there!
Oh and you can also try Wal-Mart they
are sure to have some there. |

it will eventually go away. Start off by not eating whole apples or any whole foods. Try cutting them into smaller peices. It will hurt regardless though. Take some painkillers. |

Paracetamol or similar painkillers help a lot. My orthodontist actually advised me to take children's Calpol at night if it helped! Also used a soft baby toothbrush for the first few days, your gums will be a bit sore as well. Use warm water. A salt-water mouthwash will taste disgusting but again may help. Other than that, trust me the pain will go away soon! |

chew some. eat food, the more you chew the less it will hurt. I got mine on monday and they're fine. It takes 2 or three days so be patient. the more you chew the less soar it will be trust me. also take some advil or tylenol if your parents say it's okay to ease the pain. |

Motrin will help. Or Tylenol. You could also apply Orajel to your gums. Wax will keep them from cutting you. |

Sry I have that chain to, just get some pain reliever and it should pass in a few days but trust me it is soooo worth it! |

awwwe. I know how you feel. I had to get that to when I had braces. I know it hurts a bunch, but seriously it goes away in max 5-4 days. Until then, use wax or pain medication. |

I've been there! Try softly biting down ON your mouthgaurd for a while, or drinking something warm. Other than that, your just gonna have to wait it out. It should be bearable in a few days. If it gets really bad, take some nightime Tylenol and sleep through it ( just don't OD or anything). Hang in there! It'll get better! |

I know how you feel, mine were like that to, very painful.
This might sound odd, but you know what helped me was eating, or chewing on something, I know you aren't "supposed" to chew gum, but it helped me a lot. |

i got that like 4 months ago, i didnt hurt me that bad, but when i got my braces on i cried, if i put my face on a pillow i screamed, i was like how did my brother survive 6 years with braces...? take motrin, i am scared of using medicine allot but i used it when that happened, but it didnt work on the amount of pain i was in. call orthodontics, tell them it doesnt work. try sleeping...? i could fall asllep though...maybe youll have better luck.... |
