Please please please help it is driving me crazy!!! Im only thirteen so i cant have anything strong like asparin
Answers:
Yeah the pain should go away in about 1 or 2 days but if it hurts too bad you should contact your orthodontist, they should be able to help you. Also, just keep putting wax on your brackets and try eating soft foods for a couple more days. I don't know if there is really anything you could put on your tongue. You could try maybe putting oral gel or something for canker sores on it maybe that will help. Once the pain goes away having braces won't be all that bad.
Good Luck
