i had braces a while ago and im a big eater too haha:)...you should take advil youd be surprised how much it helps and eat soft foods(mash potatoes, ice cream, juice, milk)...but what i found the best when having pain from braces is to make a smoothie....add some milk, some vanilla ice cream, and some good tasting fruits and its great! and doesnt hurt
im sorry your having pain i know its terrible but you need to make the best out of a bad situation good luck!:)
Take ibuprofen with 8oz. of water about an hour before you want to eat something. This should help with the pain.
you should eat soft things
then in a couple of days you'll be able to eat again
it should stop hurting any day now.
oragel works eat yogurt hot cerial anything soft.
youll be fine you get used to them soon
Well if you want use you tounge to squash the food on the top of your mouth or eat soft food you will get use to eating in about a eek ina half. Don't worry i know how you feel i got braces three weeks ago
i have braces myself.... the first week is tough....for protein try milk products such as my favorite "my-braces-are-killing-me" meal is a wendy frosty, and fries if i can chew.....haha, apple sauce?noodles are soft enough at this point.....cheese would be good.... just remember your beautiful smile in the end!
You could try applying Orajel, but from experience I'll say it does not work very well with the level of pain and sensitivity caused by braces. Your best bet is to just stick with soft foods until it becomes comfortable for you to chew. Soups, cooked greens, potatoes, bananas . . . there are so many delicious soft things to munch on.
Sadly, you'll need to get used to it, because you can look forward to feeling just about this sore every time you go in to have your braces tightened. Good luck to you.
i got my braces late november of 07 and it took my about a week to get used to it and now i can eat all of the food i did before. u just got to wait it out. good luck :D
um take 800 mg or 4 ib profuens and eat soft things first then you can eat harder things!
You must be a big girl or have a high metabolism, but either way I find girls who have braces are just too cute. The only thing I can suggest is eating soft foods. Make protein shakes. Those will fill you up. If you absolutely must have your fav foods then use that blender.
