Over the counter Advil (gel caps are the best). You do't say how old you are. If you are over 12 you can take the Advil. The pain is more than likely from inflammation of having the braces placed on your teeth. If it continues you should have the orthodontist check your teeth/braces as there could be a wire pressing into your teeth/gums. Braces are very painful in the beginning. Your teeth are literally being adjusted. You can also try rinsing your mouth with warm water, it will help ease the pain as well. Plus a heating pad on your cheeks for 10 minutes at a time help. If you do not have a heating pad, take an old sock, put uncooked rice (not the instant) in the sock and tie a not in the end. Place it in the microwave for about 2 minures and it will give you moist heat. This can be used again and again. Best wishes.

advile can baby teeth still fall out with braces? they should pulled the baby tooth go back to the dentist if the tooth is bothering you

I got my braces on Monday and im still in pain! Try Panadol or Advil to get rid of the pain. Preferably Advil coz i've taken heaps of Panadol and i feel the same.

the pain will become a dull ache within two to three days, and will subside in a week. i had them too. just take advil and keep your mind off your teeth. part of the pain is only in your head, you know =) if you dwell on it, it will seem worse.

your dentist must have prescribed a pain medication..mefenamic acid, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, etc.

Did the orthodontist give you wax to put on the braces? That will help if they're scraping your mouth. As for pain reliever, I liked to use an aspirin or ibuprofen pill, and put Orajel (brand) on my gums to make it a bit better. I know how it feels :( My brother hit me in the mouth w/ a football the day after my braces were put on.

Its hard at first but you just gotta tough it out. Try drinking something warm, I always liked to have hot chocolate it calms my gums when I get that pain.

take an advil for temporary relief. the pain will go away after 4 days or so. and it will come back after each adjustment
