Question:
How do you get rid of pain after you get braces?
I just got braces and I hurts really bad. Does anyone have any suggestions to make the pain stop? I already tried medicine so if you have any other methods please help me! Thanks :)
Answers:
you have to do something that will keep your mind off of the braces. Read a book or go play outside. I would highly recommend you take high doses of advil or another pain reliever. Because braces put pressure on your teeth, you might feel uncomfortable once in a while, especially after the orthodontist makes adjustments. If you have pain, ask your mom or dad to give you a pain reliever. If you ever have a loose wire or bracket, or a wire that is poking you, you should see the orthodontist right away to get it taken care of. If your orthodontist can't find a problem, he or she may give you some soft wax that you can stick on the bracket that's bothering you. Then it won't rub against your mouth. So braces can be inconvenient, but lots of kids have them and they are definitely worth the trouble. When will you know for sure? On the day your braces are removed and you can see your new and improved smile! I know the pain sucks but you really just have to fight through it. I am really sorry....
