I just got braces like 7 hours ago and I am in extreme pain!?!
Question: I just got braces earlier today and it didn't hurt for like 3 hours but then all of a sudden, my whole mouth is in pain. I took tylonol but it only worked for a couple hours. Everyone I know who has braces says that they will hurt even worse tomorrow. I missed school today because I just got them on. Should I miss tomorrow?

oh and dont chew gumm.haha.i did and it got stuck on my side wiree.oh well.just eat like soup and pudding and jelllo and stuff.hopefully the pain goes away soooon.
gooood luck !
well my opinion is that anywhere you are it's not going to help the pain, if it's that bad then take another day! sometimes applying pressure to your teeth helps, my orthodonist gave me a teething ring to bite on and help with pain!! just keep taking tylenol every couple of hours and eat soft foods (some people like warm better and some people like cold better) and hope that it feels better soon!
take some advil and get used to it
It will heart more on the third day. Then, it will decrease little by little till it will hurt no longer.
don't miss school, but plan on not being able to eat your lunch.
toughen up little soldier... i had braces too!
look on the bright side... if something really bad happens with your teeth because of the braces your dentist put on, you'll have one hell of a lawsuit!
I missed a week of school when I got mine on - But when I went
I have like surgery done I got all 4 molars out and upper&lower braces.
no i dont suggest that you miss school over getting braces put on. When i got mine on sure... they hurt like hell but as the days go by the pain decreases. and well duh medication is only supposed to work for a few hours otherwise it wouldnt sell. so you should carry a few with you to take to school periodically so you can actually attempt to eat something. but make sure of the following
1: no chewy/gummy foods/candies
2: no sugared gum
3: nothing hard
4: no biting too much with your front teeth
I've had braces for 2 years now (about to get them off) and i know it hurts soo much right now, but it is also going to hurt a lot when you get them tightened (meaning at each orthodontist appoitment, you will get a new thicker wire that will tighten your teeth) This will also hurt very much.
What I've found worked, and my orthodontist said is a good idea, is to pour a glass of warm water and put some salt into it. Then take a sip and swoosh it around in your mouth for a while and then spit it out. You can do this as much as you like.
Hope I helped!!
No you will get used to it try not to think about the pain. I have braces too it didn't hurt me
